ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Wanderfalke]

amazing read Peter! Thanks a lot for the time you took in order to share such rich information. Those wild boars, doesn´t matter if exceptional or average are probably the fiercest non-carnivore opponents a predator can meet! I remember my mother and father telling us children in Poland, before we moved to Germany, that we should never enter the forest deeply without parents. Not because of the wolves we had there, they usually ran away when they saw a human, but because of the wild boars!!! I guess everyone here knows the video from the John Varty sanctuary, where the two males fight each other very brutally. You can see and hear how aggressively they use their hind paws to claw into their opponents belly. I couldn´t see any serious injuries despite the aggressive clawing to their bellies. So actually their belly seems to be pretty good protected. Though as we have been able to read, a wild boar, especially if it´s big, can easily rip a tiger´s belly apart, like it´s a sheet of paper! Very impressive animals, those wild boars!!!
