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.
Every animal possesses some form of "self-defense" be it size, speed, quick-climbing ability, camouflage, flight, etc. Yes, the gaur is big and strong. Some herbivores are. What about the rabbit? Male gaur challenges male gaur for a female; this likely has even more effect on his size and build than do the tiger and the dhole. Most predators will choose the easiest meal and a bull gaur is anything but.
