There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Lions and Tigers in India

Remember that in Chitwan there are not very large prey (Sambars of up to 300 kg are the largest) and the little remnant population of gaurs at that time was probably in the lowest moment and even in the time of Dr Sunquist studies, the population was still low and restricted to the hill areas were tigers don’t lived (that is why there are no gaur in the prey of Chitwan tigers).
 
In the case of the lions, the problem is even worst, as the other available prey are very fast and powerful, i.e. chital deer and Sambar deer. So, been captive ones, they simple shift to the domestic cattle, which is large enough and easy to kill.
