Bengal Tiger - Panthera tigris tigris The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger subspecies native to the Indian subcontinent that in 2010 has been classified as endangered by IUCN. The total population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals with a decreasing trend, and none of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within the Bengal tiger's range is large enough to support an effective population size of 250 adult individuals. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous tiger subspecies with populations estimated at 1,520–1,909 in India, 440 in Bangladesh, 124–229 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan. Bengal is traditionally fixed as the typical locality for the binomial Panthera tigris, to which the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the Bengal tiger in 1929 under the trinomial Panthera tigris tigris.[Bengal Tigers are fully grown at 2-3 years of age. Male reach weights of 200-230 kilograms and up to three metres in length. The females are 130-170 kilograms and up to 2.5 meters long. They have stripes all over their body. Their stripes are like fingerprints. No two are the same. The stripes are not only in the tigers fur, but are a pigmentation of the skin. They have a white spot on the back of their ears,whick looks like eyes. ![]() Gaur - Bos gaurus The gaur (Bos gaurus), also called Indian bison, is a large bovine native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. The gaur has a high convex ridge on the forehead between the horns, which bends forward, causing a deep hollow in the profile of the upper part of the head. There is a prominent ridge on the back. The ears are very large; the tail only just reaches the hocks, and in old bulls the hair becomes very thin on the back. In colour, the adult male gaur is dark brown, approaching black in very old individuals; the upper part of the head, from above the eyes to the nape of the neck, is, however, ashy gray, or occasionally dirty white; the muzzle is pale coloured, and the lower part of the legs are pure white or tan. The cows and young bulls are paler, and in some instances have a rufous tinge, which is most marked in individuals inhabiting dry and open districts. The gaur is an extremely large mammal. It has a head-and-body length of 250 to 330 cm (8.2 to 10.8 ft) with a 70 to 105 cm (28 to 41 in) long tail, and is 165 to 220 cm (5.41 to 7.2 ft) high at the shoulder. The average weight is 650 to 1,000 kg (1,400 to 2,200 lb), with an occasional large bull weighing up to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb). Males are about one-fourth larger and heavier than females. ![]() _____________________________________________________________________________

I did post a face to face fight between the 2. And the gaur was badly wounded despite the fact that it was one exceptionally big male. |

I'm not sure if the gaur was really badly wounded, most peoples would describe clawing wound such as this : ![]() as a serious injury when in fact its a minor injury. If the tiger inflict that kind of injury on a gaur, the witness would probably describe it as serious injury. Edited by HyperNova, Jun 30 2016, 01:03 PM.

Bengal Tiger have been known to kill heathly Gaurs, but these events are rare Advantadge Tiger: Speed, Agility, Weopanry Advantage Gaur: Size, Strength Overall, I think that the Guar is too big and powerful for the Tiger to take down, and it's horns can deliver fatal wounds to the Tiger |

A bull Guar full of Testosphrone would stomp a Tiger into the ground nearly every time. A female Gaur gets interesting thought. In which I slightly back the Tiger. |

Not a mismatch in favour of the gaur as some say... and I do think a male tiger can kill a male gaur occasionally. Tigress killing gaur: A lion, which is a worse hunter than the tiger, can kill cape buffalos which are more agressive than gaurs at 1v1 sometimes: A tiger destroying a buffalo in seconds Edited by SETA222, Oct 21 2016, 12:50 AM.

An adult Gaur can kill Bengal Tiger .... even Siberian Tiger .. Far larger and heavier than it's relatives ... Like American Bison , Cape Buffalo , Water Buffalo etc ... Cape Buffalo already kills African Lions reported . Gaur likewise can kill tigers ... Edited by Skuller_One, Sep 14 2017, 05:31 AM.

While it doesn't happen often, it is not uncommon for tigers to kill 2200 lb gaurs. "In Nagarahole National Park, the average weight of 83 tiger kills was 401 kg (884 lb).[16] This sample included several gaurs weighing upwards of 1,000 kg (2,200 lb)." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_tiger |
