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.

Yes, I think it is a nilgai, which make that picture even more important, as interaction between tigers and nilgais are rare. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
 

 

I posted one image of a Tigress with a Blue Bull kill but other than that, I have seen very few if at all, none. They are extremely rare.

I was fortunate and lucky as well, to watch a young tigress stalk a wild boar in the Dhikala chaur, with the majestic Ramganga and the lovely elephants in the backdrop. The tigress stalked the boar right from the forest's edge till the water's edge. Ultimately the boar escaped... I was happy to capture a few frames..

This is a very rare snap of a tiger and spotted deer together in a single snap. Usually we don’t find them together in a single shot. When we arrived at the spot, we thought is a normal with the spotted deer loitering in the jungle. But then we recognized that there is tiger behind the bushes. We all were astonished to see him and thought that we would get are first chance to shoot a tiger hunting for his prey. The tiger moved towards the dear….. The situation was very thrilling. We were very surprised to notice that there was no calling, and no chasing. The tiger just passed by the spotted dear just ignoring him. He didn’t even gave it a look, the dear was alert but he somehow knew that he as safe. Then we realized that the tiger might had his stomach full. There is unknown way of communication between the wild animals. We people have many disbelieves about the tiger. The tiger is not cruel, he does not kill every time and everybody who is in front of him. The tiger does not kills unless he is hungry. We go to the jungle with a particular mindset but each time we might not experience the same. It is very challenging to predict things happening in the wild.

Another one of John Varty's "wild hunts" ^^

Looks like that animal is snared or broken and the tiger is probably captive bred.
More beautiful conservation from the great Jon Varty [img]images/smilies/dodgy.gif[/img]

Subadult tigress chasing a spotted deer in Corbett


In the late afternoon, this sub-adult female cub astonishingly emerged itself from the bush thickets; thereby befooling the deer herd and unprepared photographers; chased the deer for 8-10 seconds and changed its target to another deer at once it realised that the deer is out of its reach; but at last both the attempts were failed

Opportunistic predation at its finest.
The male has a huge, fresh Gaur kill yet still goes after a small deer.

great example how tough it must be to bring down big bovines. Although equipped with razor sharp claws, heavy/robust builds and the longest canines among big cats, the tiger only seems to have inflicted superficial wounds to this gaur.

Its tough to interpret but I think the Guar died
"This game got fatal submitted nearly two and a half hours ..."
And this was a attack from a female apparently, but I agree 10000%
Big, bad bovine are probably the hardest game to kill outside of Rhino and Elephant, with Rhino probably being the toughest for a Big cat to kill. IMO
