Biggest predator that a Tiger has killed :Saltwater crocodile

Biggest prey that a tiger has killed: asian elephant


Based on the 'evidence' you have provided, the tiger remains the most over hyped feline species, some argue the most over hyped carnivoran. I was hoping you could mount a decent case, but you failed.

Looks like the lion fanboy in you is retaliating. I already gave you encounters of Tigers killing animals bigger than Cougars can kill for their size, but in your case you're ignoring it.


Have fun

You have instantly fallen into Tiger v Lion mode in the above response - assuming I am a Lion Fanboy. What a surprise that mentality affects your judgement.

And seriously dont comment regarding Cougars or any other cat species - you are so deluded on tigers, any subjective opinion you offer on any cat species is worthless.

I'm quite certain even a alzheimer's patient could see through the 'evidence' you post.

No it is. But you've revealed a bit much about yourself with that observation. The most obvious being an inability to distinguish between someone who has favorite animals and someone who has an idiotic devotion to an animal that leads to unrealistic perceptions and portrayals. I am the former, you are the latter.

No, thats called being unbiased - posting evenly and unbiasedly on a variety of animals. Try it someday!

You may want to grow up a bit too and drop the alzheimer's comments - its a horrible disease, and some people reading your comments may have family members suffering from it.

In Khingansky reserve discovered the remains of an adult wolf, who was killed and eaten by a tigress Ilona. As the deputy director Vyacheslav Kastrikin Khingan Reserve, it is a valid case for the fourth year in which the wild cat wolf produced. However, they may be more.

"Judging by the date - May - and the environment - Zelenka Valley, wolf myshkoval or hunted deer, more likely, because mice Gorelnik little spring that overlook the green fodder. As long wolf chasing a tiger no prospects, it is likely that she found it and began to approach, "- said Vyacheslav Kastrikin.

Tiger Hunting for wolves - the phenomenon of infrequent. Wolves usually try to leave the area where the tigers. Therefore, four reliable facts hunting wolves - an extraordinary event. "No hunter of wolves can not provide such efficiency", - said Vyacheslav.

Now Ilona is situated in the mountainous part of the reserve. She travels a lot, mostly in the mountains, but out on the plain. In general, it takes a habitat of about 500 square kilometers.
