amazing article, interesting to note that BPT-214 is 7-8 years old and doesn't match any of the known males

Big cats simply do Not tolerate competition.
I was watching a lion doc last night (Lion vs Cheetah)  and Packer was speaking with another expert and he was telling packer that he has seen a female cheetah attempting to kill lion cubs. We already know Leopard will kill lion cub or Cheetah and I assume the same goes for Tiger cubs.
I just think these big cats hold grudges, they know that they were once prey for other big cats and never forget that.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.

Tiger kills five elephant calves 


An incident of a wild Tiger killing five elephant calves in Bandipur National Forest has come to light recently.   

About four elephant calves aged between one and two years were found injured following Tiger attack in Hediyala, Bandipura and Gudre forest areas.   

Forest officials had brought one of the calves and treated it, but to no avail. One more calf, which was injured in recent days, was found dead following the attack by the big cat.   

The growing such incidents has forced the forest officials to act earliest.
