Wild carnivores and humans compared
|
Every now and then, a photograph of a wild carnivore and a human is published. Most are posted in threads about the animal featured in the photograph, but my feeling is they don't belong there. For this reason, this thread was created. I propose to post photographs of wild carnivores and humans in this thread.
The thread Apollo started ('Vintage') some time ago in another section is quite similar, but most of the animals over there were photographed after they were shot. The proposal is to post live animals in this thread. All wild carnivores go, but we'd like to see those alive and well when possible. No captive animals, no circus animals and no trophy animals, ok? 01 - Africa. Wild male lion and photographer:  *This image is copyright of its original author 02 - Africa.

BTW, Great topic for a thread.

PC,
No trophy animals and no circus animals. Alive and wild predators only, if you please. The first tiger you posted is ok and so is Raja. The others were shot by hunters and should go to the 'Vintage' thread of Apollo. Ok?
All clear. The reason is there are plenty of photographs of trophy animals and hunters. We want to see living animals and proud people surrounding them. Proud to have assisted in some way to keep them alive. Different from those who besieged them. You can see it.

Ranthambore male tigers seem to be large animals. A bit longer than those in Central India, but as robust.

Also just to take note, Banda was grandfather of Umarpani male and Umarpani male is every bit as big as his grandpa.  *This image is copyright of its original author Tiger Nation A lost Pattewala. Neither Kisli Pattewala nor Banda or link 7's Pattewala. A mukki male. Maybe Minkur's cub from her 2004 litter - with Munna & Kisli Pattewala? This very big male tiger was never seen again after this date (Dec 2007). Apparently despite his collar no one ever knew what happened to him. Talk about the usefulness of collar. Does anyone recognize him? © Le Minh #Kanha  *This image is copyright of its original author
