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.

@Spalea I know you like art, look at this wonderfull Polish cartoons of diferent wild animals from European forests. Basically these are advertisements of a Polish beer called "Zubr" ("Wizent"). You can even feel the smell of European forest"

European bison:





Wolves:





Bobr:





Bear:






There are also many other animals.

Big cats are amazing tacticians when it comes to hunting, I had imagined for a long time how the big cats might handle a wild bovine if presented to them an efficient hunting scenario 1 on 1.
Especially this illustration is for the diff. horn types and how a cat deals or could deal with it.
1)auroch - a big cat dodges the initial charge of the front pointing horns, distracts the bovine into charging and manuevers around to the flank and hangs on to it. Eventually getting a throat hold.

*This image is copyright of its original author

2) cape buffalo- low curving and wide horn of cape means getting under for a throat grip is rather risky, nor is going for the flanks due to its side reach. a  big cat must dodge and bluff just enough that the bovine presents its muzzle at some point snorting angrily and then latch onto it.

*This image is copyright of its original author

3)wild water buffalo- muzzle hold could be an option but a swift lowering of it's head and it' horn reach will be great and a big cat could be in danger zone in seconds instead being less agile and it's long horn causing some heavy movement at the front end a big cat should be able to get on the backside and hamstring it.

*This image is copyright of its original author

4)bison- muzzle hold could be an option also but its pretty low to the ground and muzzle faces downwards, throat hold presents the same challenge also pendulous beard distracts this attempt, hamstring is another option but this short legged bovine is rather quick on it's feet and manuvers easily to face the threat, safest option is to jump on it's back from side and then begin biting at the spine. yes it's a slow process.

5) gaur- hamstring is also an option, but getting to the backside without it knowing presents a challenge, as much risky as it is, Gaur horns goes high upright , is a tall bovine and a big cat should go for the classic throat bite for this bovine.

@Wolverine :

About #86: Marvelous ! We could feel ourselves to be a party of the forest by being an animal too. The sound effects are top, and bravo the super european bison ! And I like especially too the wolves...

@Jimmy :

About #87: Bravo ! Very good strategic sketchs about how to envisage an attack according to the bovid's horns characteristics if we were a big cat...

Phatio, you should consider participating in exhibitions and sell your photos in local. I am sure you will have lot of people to buy it.
May be someone from WildFact is interested in buying ??
