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.

I see it so, that when looking what people with reliable reputation say and combine that with existing footage especially from many filmed lion hunts, it´s quite safe to assume so, that big buffalo bulls are possible for tigers and lions. With high risk, but possible.
What comes to bigger species and healthy adults, I have doubts. Well, a hippo far away from water isn´t too fast.... difficult to say, at least lions try them time to time even alone and some smaller ones have been eaten.
