lthough I have already clarified in many places again and again, that a tiger no opponent for a human being would be, have to yet make out decisively I me for it an own category for examples of strength the tiger. All following examples are handed down by scientist or were reported by locals. It is some impressing stories under it, those clarify very pictorially as a tiger is real strongly. Without further ones around roam I would like to begin now.

I would like as a entrance like too big ones and impressing booty animals of the tiger come although no doubt will not be rule most cases. The tiger supplies vehement combats to itself more often with bigger mammals. The game buffalo is in India in respect no. one (Bubalus arnee) or the Indian bison to mention (Bos mentioned gaurus - also Gaur). However, there again and again cases before in which a tiger attacks an "Elephus maximus" - right - an elephant! You would be able to now accept however, that is not as that he attacks only young elephants or small females. A precedent from India which was described in 1940 by Smythies is a good example. Two tigers attacked a full-grown elephant bull here and kill this in a three hour fight. The pins of this bull scaled 55,3 kg, therefore, the speech can really not be from a small bull.

The tiger does not shy at a fight with a bear back, regardless whether it itself around a lip, collar or brown bear (Melursus ursinus/Ursus thibetanus/Ursus arctos) acts. No doubt, saying that it might be a question of a fair fight is too much of man good. Most bears are already in fact afraid hysterically from that if they only cross the trail of a tiger. The tigers existing to the north (as Panthera tigris altaica) even in part consider the bear to be a usual food source, yes even make regular courses to the bears. The bears normally have no chances against a full-grown and practised tiger.

In such a way, a case with which a tigress set up a she-bear which boy had in a cave is confessed. The tigress dug a back door to this cave and then hunted the she-bear virtually again and again right through the cave. As the tigress the she-bear there had of they wanted (one formulated flatly a little), did the tigress grab the she-bear by the foot, she pulled out from her cave and killed they with a neck bite. After the she-bear was killed, the tigress still entered the cave and killed the boys - with presumably a bite through the skull. This scenario was from Kaplanov by means of lanes before the cave and reconstructed in the cave, where it looked like like a bloodbath according to his information. Of the she-bear, the head as well as that only remained for longer bones of extremities. That the she-bear pulled to in fact one leg from the cave was, proved a found at the feeding site, frightfully cerium mistreated, bear paw.

It admit that the tiger itself general at an attack on a bear arrives mean frequent before, if other food source as wild boar, run out. Around nothing to &nth slain still must said are also that known cases are with which itself a tiger, of a bear, effortless chase away read. It comes in sub-way of the tiger and both to the individual herself off, whether and in and far from it can be offered to itself it of a bear resistivity. The masculine grasp tiger too relatively larger through her size, compared to the feminine ones, mostly and increase animals at, when this would do a tigress.

A further occurrence in sibiria is also very interesting. Here attacked a tiger one team from horse and a cart. The leader of the team remained unharmed however, could pursue the events. Although the tiger already stretched the horse to ground with first attack, this could once again get up. The second attack, that no doubt straight would be allowed have been followed however, survived ones the horse no more. The tiger grabbed the horse by the right flank and must have slammed so hard it that this tore the entire flank of the horse, including the ribs, out.

Furthermore, cases are known ones from India, in which itself a tiger with five developed buffalos (Bubalus arnee) put on simultaneously had and not honor of she off left to it had killed he all.

Reported to Z. Veselovský over a buffalo in a swamp heavy to tiger of the one 800 to 900 kg would bag and connect 150m long, over a steep slope, to a dry place would drag along. This is a further impressing example for those of strength, of in particular necking musculature, of a tiger.

Before some time I have seen an amateur's film which any unarmed participant of a tiger's hunt - if I remember surely, in Laos or Cambodia - with an antediluvian great camera 8 has taken: a fleeing tiger, at most 2-year-old, and 15-20 animals strong dog's pack on his heels. When the tiger tries, to get up, jump the bloodhounds - for the most part Doberman's-half-bloods - yapping in the eucalyptus-shrub up and add to the tiger in the tail and in the hind legs some bloody wounds - then the tiger from the intention to climb the tree discharges and lets himself slip down slowly in the smooth environment of the eucalyptus-plant. Meanwhile, the man with the camera is to him up to few meters on the touched, orange laid under fur moved. After the tiger has won firm ground, the dogs step back, only to penetrate immediately anew on him. At the next moment the lens the great camera 8 goes cloudy up to opacity: the tiger has positioned himself on the hind legs and, the eucalyptus in his back, a so formidablen paw clout distributed that blood and intestines of the first dog to the cameraman splash straight across the lens. In connection the tiger risks his front paws again on the ground and wedges how a horse, with the back paws has crept to the back from - no deadly push he leads in this way, but enough, around a bloodhound, itself in his back to allow to go covered in blood to ground. At the next moment the tiger stands again on the back paws and gets cracking: within less minutes ten dogs are dead, from murderous sideway kick of the powerful paws to ground stretched and, besides, often simply torn in two. Now the tiger, probably sniffing the air that the human part of the shooting party is still removed a whole piece, goes over to the offensive and hunts the been left dogs about stick and stone: he presses the first his he gets hold, with the paws to ground and bites through him literally in the middle. Off the stamped out path the dogs can bring their running superiority not to the development, while the tiger jumps simply over presenting hindrances. Then still one or other painful howling, is extinguished the just still so confident of victory dog's pack, almost exterminated. When the tiger, from the great camera 8 from sure distance filmed, on quiet paws disappears in the dark underwood, he leaves a scenario which resembles of a slaughter-house in order to get a fright. Swarms of bluebottles keep humming and muttering in what the tiger has left of his pursuers...

In addition to the examples of tremendous strength one tigers those I might already have given would like to let me not taking it from me to still address some others. Therefore, this comes about first here since the topics in part overlapped with topics addressed then not yet. Sometimes splendid "plays" can be observed by the enormous strength of the tiger. One saw once as a tiger easily jumped from the state with a booty 90 kg into the mouth over a fence two meters high. This is also a good example for strength of the tiger which can accomplish such "tricks" through its extremely strong necking musculature.

From time to time can one denied a certain plasticity of such examples not may be. A direct arrangement between the tiger and the human being is the nearest step therefore. More direct arrangement not in mind of two fight (!?!?) may separate meant rather in mind from pictorial ideas. It brings me to India again. An extraordinarily exemplary case was documented here. A tiger had a very big buffalo bull bags and dragged this some hundred meters in order to consume him there away In his infinite wisdom however, the human being did not decide this to suffer and chased the tiger of her booty away. However, the subsequent Ab transportation of the buffalo represented itself more in a complex way when one at first thought this. Thirteen developed and strong men were not able to also only move the buffalo far from a meter. This fact is not plastic and every misinterpretion also does without them.

One can perhaps recognize best here which power was behind this action. In the case of the torero mentality which some people place to the day, would be able to think one they would be to be wrung ably simultaneously also five water buffalos low. In some thinking approaches, logic find succumbs after the pin in the haycock more and more of of the proverbial look-up.

There is a great number at interesting evaluations for hunt behavior of the tiger. In fact are all previous stated cases in order to clarify the strength of the tiger, yes basically individual cases It is always very problematic to close to the big and wholes from individual cases. The bear is an animal which a paragon of strength became in Europe. Turns of speech as they are to be stated strongly as a bear and numerous other here. For this reason, I selected the bear as a statistical arrangement object.

Mentioned already as some times only transfers it few cases in which a bear a developed tiger ward off could kill or still few cases in which a bear a tiger could. However, the mentioned cases are also individual cases only although experienced experts would never as a individual case consider this circumstance be. Following those information cover for itself onto the amurtiger (P. t. altaica) since no so exact numbers are at this time confessed me for the Indian tiger. The bear represents approximately five to eight percent of the tiger food statistically in a seen manner in the eastern circulation areas. For the other tiger kinds, including the nominatform, one of smaller values must go out. Except for the amurtiger mostly exist all other kinds in fields in which no so extreme food situation and/or. food competition is there as in the cold eastern fields. Although the tiger the bear held over is, now and then approves he for itself also of this of his (the bear) chase booty away (that of the tiger). One would be able to say that it simple is another booty to succumbed as a confrontation with a bear, unnecessary manner to "risk" A procedure which one can already classify as computing, each finally goes (!!) a avoidable or unnecessary fight away.

As mentioned already several times the tiger must not hide strength. Through various tests and investigations into zoological gardens and the free nature, we knows that a full-grown masculine amurtiger has about 1.25 tons of fighting power in each of his paws . The nominatform is led with about 1,17 tons (round about a human being weight). Unfortunately, no numbers became known to me for other tiger kinds.

As last, an example on the chapter "human being gobbling" would like to state again. It bore themselves to that a man wanted to collect a big bundle of grass at the edge of a slope. That a tiger brought closer themselves was not further striking the man (understandable!double-exclamation). Before the man provided itself fell itself the tiger onto this, a tooth during right Aug (Canini), one under the chin and the other two at the back in the neck, then bit open the tiger to. The impact of attack knocked the man over and in such a way, it came for a certainly strange sight. The man was legs between his on the back, breast to breast with the tiger and with its stomachs (the tiger) (the man). During the fall, the man managed at range of an oak to come since this stretched his arms while dip far apart. In the same moment, since the man could grasp a bough of the oak, take he to prefer the plan over itself at the oak bough under the tiger and this (the tiger) to overturn the close slope down with the legs lying freely. The man certainly succeeded with this intention only from two reasons. Firstly has that def the zu bit the tiger and the enormous pains combined with it, all bones of the right page of the face were regular crushed, not consciousness in a lost manner (an already overwhelming performanc/luck). taken by itself Further has he second rest preserved and the tiger so not even moreer stimulated. After the tiger had fallen down the slope and removed it for itself it, the man laced a cloth for itself around the head and went into his village back. It was luck pronounced therefore which let the man come with life of it.

Nothingness the less can have been actual this tiger no very big specimen to lift and push away a tiger in this situation would be allowed to have meant itself for a strong human being a problem. I consider questionable whether one lifts so a animal can with the legs, in this situation, if one leads for a developed tiger on eyes to 250 kg in person Tigers big that not only a human being dangerous may be able be is here as sure of summary allowed although they may be this no surprise (opinion of the author).

I expect that it successful me is to be represented expressive which strength a tiger has. However, it should let one not inducing themselves to this of such considerations to designate the tiger as a brutal killer. Too a tiger is basically only a big gambly cat, of the a little other kind. Only because a tiger is so strong, this yes does not mean much longer that one also receives this strength to feel.
