Here you can post your accounts of tigers fighting indian wild dogs aka red dogs, aka whislting hunters, aka D'hole, aka Tiger killers ect...

 
Lets start it off with the most recent:

And before we put them in order, lets take a look at the credability of these accounts sources, as some believe like member J.A.WS that these are fairy tales coming from people who write novels, fictional books and no nothing of wildlife, yet these people are important figures of tiger country, and are at the highest degree of credability in terms science, via biologist, zoologist and conservationlist:

CHANDRAPUR: Yet another tiger was added to the death toll in Chandrapur district on Friday. A pack of wild dogs reportedly killed a tiger cub in Dhaba range in Gondpipri tehsil in the afternoon. Forests in Chandrapur district have lost in all seven tigers this year now.

Sorry for the cub account, but his is essential to put down as some sceptics aka known as J.A.Ws have added that tiger roars are the same as lion roars, in which these kind of accounts can prove that the distress calls are not the same as lions.

The cat had already been fighting off the dogs for an hour: The tiger was in very bad shape and it was with great effort that he kept himself erect. Presently his head began to droop and again the dogs attacked, one fastened onto the tiger's throat and although immediately beaten to a pulp, its jaws remained locked and its hold could not be broken. In a supreme effort the tiger reared up on its hind legs with the dead dog still at its throat and others draped all over...    We counted twelve dead dogs and could see where others had dragged themselves away.5 For the most part dhole and tiger respect and avoid each other. The dogs are generally diurnal hunters and the cats nocturnal. But in hot, dry weather ...By the time we got back from the village all that was left of the tiger was bones, sinews, and a few tufts of blood

It was a pack of 18 Dholes! Just too big for an endangered species! We were extremely lucky to see them together; got a feel how dangerous the pack would be - when all of them hunt together. Our guide also told us that this was only the second time in his 9 years' career he has seen such a big pack. He told us an incident he had heard - a big pack of Dholes - 24 of them - attacked a tiger. The tiger fought bravely and was capable enough of kill 18 of them but the rest of the Dholes killed the tiger!!

But how long will it be before the dogs goad him, with their snapping attacks from all angles, into bounding out too far from his tree, and allow them to ring him round and cut off his round and cut off his retreat? The dogs know that, sooner or later, he will do just this. Then, in a flash twenty
dogs have ringed him, and making short rushes, all together, tighten the ring until the nearest dog is only four or five yards from the tiger. then, putting their heads on their paws, they settle down to wait for the tiger to make the next move. For another half-an-hour, perhaps, the tiger sits back quietly on his haunches, uttering only an occasional snarl. But after a while he begins to lose his temper and roar, shaking the ground with his thunderous Aa-ongh! Aa-ongh!, which is feared by every other animal in the jungle. Yet the only effect it has on the waiting dogs is to make a few prick up their ears. And now, in his fury, he begins to lash his tail from side to side: whereupon one of the younger dogs sneaks round the back of the tree and bites it. The tiger swings round, with a roar of anger, and another dog immediately leaps in and bites him behind the ear — though it is swept away writh a death blow to the ribs. Quiet again. The tiger back on his haunches. The ring of dogs waiting heads on paws, watching him intently. But the blood begins to trickle down his chest from the gash on his neck. Just for a second he hnvers his head to lick at the blood, and in
that that second every single dog rushes and the tiger is covered with a seething red mass of
dogs tearing at him everywhere. Equally suddenly, all the dogs break off the engagement. Five more dogs are dead: but the tiger has been terribly mauled, with wounds all over his
body, an eye torn out, and one fore-paw split right through. And now the pack changes its tactics. The remaining fourteen dogs rush the tiger again and again giving One dead tiger. Ten dead dogs, and five more disabled. One can only be thankful that such terrible killers are never numerous, despite the

by Mr. Sterndale in ' Seonee
' and in his ' Natural History of Indian Mammalia

In this case the remains of a tiger that had been
devoured, were said to have been found together with three dead wild dogs.

It is universally believed by natives that the tiger is occasionally killed by packs of
wild dogs (Cuon rutilans).

Colonel Barber found these dogs to be numerous on the Western Coast, and in the Balaghat district... They must be very formidable, as all animals are afraid of them.

Well - there's a bunch of prime 'jibber-jabber' to start with..

More hearsay/speculation about supposed "grievous injuries" - but no actual vet's exam report.. or eye witness/follow-up scientific confirmation..

& next, a repeat of the tiger kills - 12 out of 22 dogs but then succumbs to the balance - fairy tale..

So if the they find another tiger, those 'kamikaze' dogs won't live to
reproduce their kind.. being wiped out - most "unlikely" behaviour for dogs - as Karanath would put it..

Almost certainly worthy of dismissal as fanciful nonsense & without even 2nd rate evidence as verification..

For sure, certainly nothing of such drama has been caught on camera,
or put on line - even after 100+ years of movies..

( & no matter his tiger-boy bent, if K- had ever observed such a thing
in all his tiger watching - he would've surely rushed to publish it, put the footage of the event up on Nat Geo/youtube?)..

It simply strains the bounds of credibility to breaking point..
..to accept that any wild canid behaves in such a suicidal manner..

Certainly, these apocryphal, typically over-hyped Indian anecdotes,
or 'Chinese whispers' variations of them - are of dubious provenance.

& though repeated in various publications over the years ( albeit all sounding curiously like repetitions of the same fatuous "story" over & over, for the sake of hype) - are certainly not to be accepted at face value.. except perhaps by the most credulous neophyte.. who awaits properly corrective education..

Perhaps in this matter, absence of ( good, irrefutable) evidence is..
..indeed evidence of absence..
..especially given the well known ( & frequently recorded) behavioural
characteristics of wild dogs when confronted by big cats many times their size & striking power..

Check out the telling Nat Geo blog of the lions seeking, pursuing, & yes - destroying the 'alpha male' pack leader of an African wild dog hunting group.. a exemplar of the harsh reality in the carnivore pecking order..

Wow, so that was your whole blow out of how you were supposed to have proved wild dogs cannot in any way or form kill a lone tiger? I'm not impressed, and no worrys, thats only the beginning of the lot, I will continue to add in more accounts, I wouldnt say they are repeating things of hundreds of years ago, did every single one of these people have accesses to historical information like google books and newspaper archives? I dont think so, when they say there are reports of tigers being killed by wild dogs, I would assume reports in their era, in their area, in there time frame, not a anecdote told by the romans in a distant fable like you act it was concieved from.

No biggie, continue on, I will adress your points now that it is away from filibusting the L vs T thread...continue on with how wild dogs cannot attack from all angles as if tigers have the capabilitys to do 360 degree paw swipes without getting nipped even once. And please no contradicting now, you said that wild dogs are unable to bite a tiger in the face because of swipes, which I notioned that didnt stop hyenas from killing leopards, than you changed to hyenas are bigger...you cant have either or, so is it the size, or the swipe? You cannot conjoin it as your argument, dhole attack juvi guar which are bigger than tigers, wild dogs attack leopards too who also paw swipe like tigers, so I dont see how you make any sense, they attack both things that are bigger and things that paw swipe, your.....OPINION, not verified fact, is weak, as they can be attacked from all angles simultanously.

 
As your mental state of wild dogs, this isnt a contest of kamikaze, this is a fight for their lives, if the tiger is the attacker what you want, is for all the wild dogs to freeze up and collapes upon fear an sight of a tiger? Or would they defend them selves with the baiting system via one taunts and the other attacks? I'd go with B, because yours sounds like jibber jabber to me. hey that rimes, lol Muha ha ha ha...no pun intended just wanna see what you can make up of an excuse now we're away from polluting the L vs T thread.

Steady on Prime, old boy, you're getting hot under the collar again,
& note: - you've been counselled already today..

What purpose would it serve a pack of dogs to sacrifice most of their party members - in a single attack on a dangerous foe.. this is a suicide plan, not a prey strategy.. come on.. & yes, very "unlikely"..

& not only are they 'kamikaze' dogs,
- but vicious frenzied cannibals too..
What.. are they raiding cannabis plantations & going doolahli?

Too much..

Has it ever occurred to you why human boxers fight in weight divisions?
& that reach/strike force for heavyweights is much more impressive?

Well the same applies to cats, the bigger the cat, the longer reach &
the harder the strike..

Note: I did not mention 'being nipped' I referred to grasping,
& a dog can only do that with their mouth, if a dog had grasped a big
cat like that circus bear you noted, it would have been promptly ripped open by the sharp clawed, hard kicking - hind legs of the cat..

Check out Carnivora.. there is a new pictorial report of a large wolf vs cougar death match, dog is out-fought & killed..

Yet at the same time - it illustrates the poor comprehension of the amateur eyewitness - as to what was really going on..

Given the well known/scientifically measured low IQ standard of 'jibber-jabbering' Indian natives typically reporting dhole/tiger "annoyances", sadly, very little credence can be attached to their traditionally fanciful 'jungle stories'.. since no matter how many times they are reiterated, they really
are just tall tales, told to try & impress visitors & frighten children..

Put up a youtube vid of a dhole/tiger confrontation then Prime..

I can't find one that backs the supposed/putative dhole reputation..
although there are a number showing the dholes are quite cautious about
venturing too close - such as within reach, of even a 3rd rate tiger..

I suggest you read the 1963 account I just added in along some of the other ones (as they are gona keep flooding in), you offered up no other efforts of tigers being able to stifle a pack of even just 5, let alone 30...if it bothers you so much that 5 dhole was all it took for the tiger to be severly injured, then...maybe instead of telling it to me, you should email that vet and ask if they have any photos and can confirm it to be what you want it to be some kind of fairy tale, bold champ and counter strike have gone straight to the source and emailed many biologist, naturalist, and others who make the initial reports...why cant you?

Suicidal tendacy, Uuuuuh? I think that is what made dog, mans best friend, the need to protect their love ones even if it means death, although I see the name wild...I aslo see the name Dog in the dhole...he probably is attacking the tiger because he sees the tiger as a threat towards his cubs, I think they have another reason to attack the tiger...what might that be you ask? because tigers....are not as big as elephants lol Some tigers are as small as a leopard, yes full grown males can be in the 200 lb range according to sundarban records. Not all tigers come off the assembly line at 857 lbs, even at that size, a pack of 30 can still exhaust him out.

Not interested in carnivora...more interested in why not only do we have different eras reported, but different locations...are all indias people liars? I dont think so, these reports  from Madya predesh, to hyberdad to andrah predesh...is it coincidence that these reports have a farther range than just one isolated honey comb of as you call them liars....XD XD XD and videos? Why are you asking me? Go to india and ask some universitys and grand librarys if they have any old videos of wild life documentarys of conflicts between tigers and red dogs...its not like you have done that, have you?

An stop with the hot stuff, I'm pretty cool mate, I'm not the one without any refutable evidence, I have all that I believe in, you have nothing but opinions. according to you, tigers are able to 360 leap swipe and have infinite stamina, and since they are atking from all angles at once, according to you tigers have nano-second reaction timing an movements. lol No worrys, if it only took mere minutes to find those added sources, I'm sure hundreds more are awating to be shared. ^_^

All the stuff you have presented on this thread - so far - Prime..

..is ancient unreliable anecdotes, hearsay based tall stories & overhyped 'news' - all sadly typical of the excitable blather so relentlessly produced for so long in India..

& it is of low-to-zero value as scientifically useful evidence..

These dogs are feral-wild, not the "man's best friends" type..
..how many pet dogs are reported to turn cannibal - on their own blood?
(Or- other wild dogs either, & have been research verified to do so..)

It's simply untenable scientifically.. come up with some respectable
scientifically validated 1st degree evidence, or I simply call BS..

Awww, why not, I'd like to see your responce if or when they do. And how many universitys of biology have catapulted you to your claims of tigers having 360 degree paw swiping abilitys and infinite stamina formulas? Please post a video of you giving that speech in a acamedic review with men and women clapping and crying in how revolutionary your opinions are to the tigers capabilitys and accepting your 1 minute speech. lol because now in the future away from the far distant past of 2013, where stone aged people wrote lithographs and hyrilglyphs of fables and anecdotes of wild dogs up to 5 attacking and injuring tigers...only video is accpeted as fact XD XD XD

Any reliable verification would be good, Prime.. given the vast quantities of BS that is 'stock 'n' trade' for Indian TV 'news'..

A communique from the treating vet perhaps?

Oddly enough the episode of David Attenborough's 'Wild India'
featuring the d'hole was on TV today..

All Attenborough claimed re: d'hole/tiger interactivity/killing was "There are stories..." (right after mentioning Kipling & 'The Jungle Book'.. ..yet no photos, film, video or validated verification of any hunting/killing of tigers by them)..
..but then even he sounded unconvinced.. while listing the max weight of the d'hole as 18kg.. & the pictured animals looked more like scrawny reject 'pariah dogs' rather than 'fearsome' tiger hunters..

& further on in the episode, D.A. features a male tiger roaring to
attract a mate.. & he's clearly not fearful of attracting a pack of a'holes..

& D.A. then goes on to say that d'holes who have hunted successfully - & are feeding.. have to beware of tigers..

Well, all you have to do is email that vet, it takes like...5 minutes.  I can wait. ^_^
 
David, that old guy? He is one of the friendlier reporters about conservation, he mainly speaks on just poachers and their bad effects on animal population decline, never seen him touching on animal gore and fighting scenes of any animal. So why would he have anything to say on this matter?
 
Tiger roaring? Do you have confirmation his area has any dholes to counter him? Not every tiger on the planet has dhole right down the road from them, some tigers dont even have any contenders in their area. Beware? sooooo, whats that suppose to mean to you disproving they have been documented killing tigers? Maybe hyenas dont kill lions because they have to...beware something, ohhh they actually have to beware of something, the other 20+ lions that will come to his aid if he gives distress calls. lol
 
What about leopards and hyenas, what if I was to ask you to show me a video of 20+ hyenas killing a leopard, I'm sure it has happened 100s of times, yet no video of this gore, ripping to peices, and killing them even though video cameras has been around nearly a century...should I start saying every pack of hyena killing a leopard report is anecdoctal, a fairy tale, and a lie? Certainly you cant show a video of it, you must be talking bullshit...right?

I have nothing to prove.. you do, & apparently can't..
& what do leopards/hyenas have to do with it.. plenty on youtube..

There are videos of leopards killing hyenas too.. so what?

Ol' D.A. did show d'holes feeding on a chital, after saying they had to eat so quickly that they often didn't kill their prey 1st..
at which point D.A. said - d'holes then also had to watch out for marauding tigers..

I can post tiger/dhole video interactions ( I'll bet you've reviewed them too) - but they show nothing like
your fanciful stories, just dogs being 'annoying' yet no killing,
or even risking getting within tiger claw range, either..

I dont call majority of the biology and ecology Ph.ds of india fanciful liars like you do, I see them as dedciated people who wish to spread the truth in how to protect their tigers against all threats, as you even stated wild dogs will look at tigers as a prey item...you said that...I said dholes will defend them against a contender or advesary, not prey item.

So no video vividly of hyenas shredding a leopard in all directions? Then dont ask of a video of wild dogs and then play the true smoke an mirrors game...karnath is subjected to bias, it happens to alot of people, why would or should any one be bias for a 30 pack animal? Unless a bull elephant type status, something that much wouldnt hardly find a 200-400 lb (tiger) animal that much of a threat, dont they take sambar regularly? Isnt sambar almost twice the weight of tigers? Or are we going back to 360 dgree nano second swipeing?

Its funny how shorter and shoter your post got as soon as I asked for you to email the vet of the 5 dholes incident...its not like they have been erased from history...contact them and get the details...this is what you sooooo want right? I thought you were one of the people trying to find out the truth, well...there it is 5 minutes away staring you dead in the face...dont wanna ask? hmmmmmm why not.

Not that it belongs on this thread..

Why is it Prime that you can provide zero tangible proof of your claims..
..that do relate to this thread subject..

Have YOU tried emailing the vet to ask about the tiger so "grievously"
attacked by 5 dogs - but not 'torn to shreds & eaten all up, every scrap' apparently, hey, why not? - Huh, Prime?

Or have you done so & found out that it is yet another BS 'Indian news story' that bears no relationship with reality.. but you wont admit it?

lol awww, all that talk, and it seems...you...dont care for the truth...listen up maestro, if some biologist, zoo keeper or animal trainer had just posted a account within the past 3 years of a lion killing 3 tigers at once (like boss tweeds did) or vice versa I'd be all over contacting him, I'd email him, phone him in, and be asking for photos or video if there was...thats me wanting to know the truth...you wanting to know the truth couldnt even be helped if there were 1 thousand sources posted here of wild dogs killing tigers.
 
Since you dont want to know the truth, than I can only do so much for you, your previous arguments have been shattered, there is no such living thing that can turn a 360 degree in a nano second animal on this planet with 100% accuracy to boot...hence your arguments are retarded, your contradictions is hilarious and you stating you wanna know the truth, is pretty much a lie in its self...you have all the power in the universe to email them, but you wont, because you already made up your mind far before any level of information away from a video was known to man kind.
 
Thanks but no thanks, I even avidly posted a majority of those newer accounts with scarcly touching the ones I linked before...almost all are newer ones added in the old ones, but hahh, you dont care, no biggie though. I enjoyed reading up more on how tigers are now riduclously out gunned by asiatic lions...so thats a plus ^_^

& even though in fact- I never wrote anything about 360`movements - how is it that even a domestic pet cat can- in fact- rotate 180+`
in mid air to land on its feet, & land gracefully, in a split second?

& I do care, but I want to see solid evidence, not the same silly old villager's stories - repeated ad infinitum..

Poor excuse, i'm not the one heated up and contradicting my self like you, when you are done with the charade, email them...you have all the time in the world.
 
180+? Did that cat have a bunch of dogs attacking from a 360 radius to repeat that process 100s of times in a few minutes? You said a wild dog cant attack a tiger because of claws/jaws, whats your answer for the dogs rushing in from the back, sides, corners all simultaneously like some of the accounts noted they already did? That would imply 360 degrees, and whos to say they would let go once one has gotten a grip, or two, or three or all 30? I just added in several more as well...but no need to read them, its against your religon to believeing anything besides video.
 
The dhole is cureently the top predator in the habitats of where tigers and wild dog live:
 
The presence of dholes in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar - Myanmar was confirmed by camera trapping in 11 areas and, alongside leopards, have apparently replaced tigers as the country's top predators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhole#cite_note-iucn-2 - [2]
 
Hmmm, now wouldnt the top predator of that area, not be able, to kill the lesser one?
 
Jaws: i wanna know the truth! (doesnt email them) lol Sounds like a hypocrite to me. I am good with whats on hand, maybe later I'll grow the list when I feel that some one has put up a credible sounding reason in how a tiger can kill all the wild dogs who are rushing in simultaenously from every angle...hopefully in that time being you will work up the courage to email them in what you seek...till then. ^_^

P, do you realize that you  blot your prevously splendid literature seaching record - with this foolish nonsense?
& given your track record for 'losing the plot' & subsequently being banned for going ad hominem..

Then..

I'd suggest you best review the warning you were given by CV earlier today..

Ohhh? How about you post some pictures of you in burma, or I will give you a dose of your own medicine...if you cant, its a fairy tale, like karnath knows of too, aka the asatic lion slaughter'er. Notice when I adressed karnath, I stated the majority of biologist/ecologist there, I didnt say 100% of scientist are the gods truth, titles dont mean all that much to me, its content...even haughton who was dubbed professor has not zero credability but negative 100 with his bs tiger killing lion rant.
 
Banned for insulting others? Nah just banned for sticking it to the bias crybabys who cant handle the truth. And that banning didnt stop it growing either. You must be mixing up with bold champ or leofwin, I unlike them speak my mind to who ever I like, mod, admin or who ever. You obviously dont know me as well as counter strike does either, I actually like it when people go on to critisize my findings, it makes me find even more since i do firmly believe in what I post, and its only a matter of time since videos would trail it, it doesnt have to be tommorrow, but I'm sure further down someone will get it and present it, I wish not to treat you like pckts, but you certainly are not that good in bringing up viable arguments.

Right.. as if..

This link to a dog site: http://www.retrieverman.net/2010/08/17/the-wolfs-only-major-natural-predator/

Shows that the largest wild dog,  the Eurasian wolf - is preyed upon by tigers..
It also notes that big cats seem to have a preference for the taste of dog flesh, though I don't
know if this only applies to Asian big cats..

Now, given that the d'hole is a much smaller/less capable  killer than the wolf..
( zero history of d'hole attacks on people vs wolf attacks being notorious).

It stands to reason that - the d'hole preys on tigers myth - is quite fallacious..
& is  "unlikely" at best, esp' given the towering lack of reputable evidence..

Not all that interested, I was headin back to the L vs T thread, just left some crumbs for anyone who wants to seek historic data, on a side not, that doesnt prove anything still, tigers are loners and yet they have more attacks on man than lions, thats because one doesnt lode humans and tigers do, either because humans are a easier meal for a lesser survivalist, or tigers just hate humans/everything they pass, and are reputable as blood thirsty...

2nd, I havent seen any info of eurasian wolves packs as large as dholes, so a small pair stands no chance compare to a super pack, (and lol a artifact only? I thought you needed photos and videos) an there are tons of books on google books as well of siberian tigers control wolf poluations, yet not a single photo of a tiger and wolf in the same shot in all of siberia or muncharia via google images, not just of this era, but any era...c'mon, i can find atleast both dhole and tiger in the same shot, show me a shot of a big bad wolf with a tiger...just 1.
 
Any ways I dont really care for eithers verdict, just left bread crumbs for some one out there who would.

Yeah P, its likely that 'Merican pseudo-big cat would've swatted them 20 pesky d'holes down like flies..

( check the youtube vid of the cougar swatting the baying hound dogs getting in its face, one-after-another)

It states pretty much what I quoted...I find it interesting a single dog killed a tiger by grabing his throat when he was unaware as posted on the L vs T owned by hydeyoshi...yet 30 wild dogs cant injure and wound a 200-400 lb tiger? Tigresses big ones or sundarban ones range only from the 150-300 lb range, 30 dogs 40 lbs each, would weigh past a 1,000 lbs, much more enough to hold the tiger or tigress in place and well sure to wound him, a person can take a shank or two, but 20+ mini shanks thats repeative for an hour? C'mon, I am not degrading the tigers fighting skills or weapons, but tigers are the least combative of the big cats, the least brave, they hardly would intimidate a large pack of dogs looking smaller than their usual prey of sambar.
 
They are not lions, wild dogs and hyenas understand the lionesses have a safety net, the males, who are also in coalitions, they dont just forget this when one male is on his own, they would still be cautious of his brotherns who might pop out at any minute to aid him, what would wild dogs or wolves be cautious of the tigers back up? He has none. Again, tigers arnt like lions, they dont go trumpeting in wageing war and diving into packs careless of their own health (which would lead to a small injury, which would lead to death), tigers are quite passive espeacially something that shows fight and is able to survive the first instances of his rushes/attacks.
 
Just showing information from what is coming from your average, biologist, naturalist, conservationlist and credible source...its quite telling when alot agree with each other...if it were just one or two reports I would dought it my self, but viewing how sometimes wild dogs of india are able to contend with hyena, (who hyena are by far no push overs in clans)...than I think their cousins the dhole has the right of way to being called indias top predators. Bottom line is, 20-30 is just too much.

Yeah, ok P, but those 'stories' are IMO, likely the old hard copy/book equivalent of 'viral' - & when repeated longitudinally over long periods of time by credulous types they take up a 'life' of their own..

Yet crucially nothing in the way of unequivocally substantive evidence seems to exist - to actually corroborate these old tales..

& I thought it was a bear that got a dog latched on to its throat..

Does indeed seem "unlikely" that a dog as small as a d'hole could feasibly tackle a healthy fully-clawed wild tiger like that..

& CV, to be sure, dogs can be bold/destructive in attacking domestic beasts.. can't see 'em making a living out of preying on prime tigers though, that's just a bit too far fetched - by 1/2..

Well I am not here to force you to believe in them, you can believe in anything you want...wheather they are hear say or not, rumors/false and truths are often revealing. When I believe in something I try to stay with the evidence I bring, you are right though, finding a bunch of dogs eating a dead tiger carcass they didnt see the fight of, is not a 100% fact...but the consistancy level is there, and the plausibility is there, it will just take time to find a more credible source or atleast one that offers up tangible evidence to confirm the others...a more scientific one that offers up photos for further disecting it would be better, and of course if it is ever caught on film, well, than I would assume that all the other accounts will then be accountable.

Where else in the world are wild/feral dogs noted to do this?

Viz: recklessly attack hugely dangerous opponents - at the cost of many deaths/injuries to their own pack, & on a supposedly habitual basis..

Nowhere,I know of..

Unless there is repeatable, reliable/verifiable, scientifically

Alot of your arguments previously made were counter-productive, pretty much controdictions...what exactly would they have to do to the tiger? Just run around it in cricles until the tiger tires out. As fast as a tiger is, its not easy catching one as they are skillfull in manuvering:

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=wild+dog+vs+two+hyena&FORM=VIRE15#view=detail&mid=067DB59314C80B3130ED067DB59314C80B3130ED - http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=wild+dog+vs+two+hyena&FORM=VIRE15#view=detail&mid=067DB59314C80B3130ED067DB59314C80B3130ED
 
20-30 wild dogs would have the tiger a difficult time focusing on one. Your argument of claws and jaws is limited as well, the tiger can attack only one at a time, (which cost energy), ripping, biting and constantly turning when getting bitten as well, (cost energy), these wild dogs will completely surround the tiger in a 360 degree form:
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=wild+dog+vs+two+hyena&FORM=VIRE7#view=detail&mid=B532FBFCEF2E2BFD7BE5B532FBFCEF2E2BFD7BE5 - http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=wild+dog+vs+two+hyena&FORM=VIRE7#view=detail&mid=B532FBFCEF2E2BFD7BE5B532FBFCEF2E2BFD7BE5
 
Wild dogs even alone will atleast defend theselves, 30 defending themselves would have no trouble wounding a single animal who is not much bigger than their usual prey, who has no intimidating factors, both physically and physicologically, has no protecting factors, poor endurance, ect. No one is saying the tiger wont catch one, or several, no one is saying in every encounter it will be a blood bath with the dogs aggressors 100% of the time, but you suggesting that tigers have infinite amounts of stamina/endurance is illogical. The tiger is not as calm, assertive and pre-game as the lion is, a tiger wont only be weary of a large pack of wild dogs, but he will be in a panic, this sky rockets his respitory and rational thinking, many tigers have been documented being killed by heat stress alone (as shown), being that active all at once couldnt allow the tiger to sustain such a placement unless there was a leverage like the puma video where the puma was up on a tree free from them attacking from the back, the tiger again will be on the ground (as most are too big to climb effectively or there might not be trees for a distance at the time) and surounded completely.
 
In my opinion, the tiger doesnt have a chance against 20+ dogs. Its not that you should lower your standards, you can give it a 10/10 to tigers for all I care, in versa... you should aid the search in your own disbelief...you should in fact contact those people on the 5 wild dogs incident...if you stand corrected, than thats a point to bring up, if you are supplied with tanigble evidence, than it saves the hundreds of more post to come, of living in denial.

Hyenas cannot reach out with hard-striking sharp ripping claws..

Have you ever seen African wild dogs confront a lion like that, P?

They are generally fearful of them, since they are on a hiding to nothing by attempting such a contest..

I reiterate, how long will a d'hole pack last - if it habitually
loses up to 1/2 of its membership - in attacking a single tiger?

It just does not add up..
So, I must concur with "unlikely" - as reckoned by naturalist in the field, 'K'..

Lions are not solitary, how many times would that have to be told to you? Heres some tangible evidence that wipes out more than half your arguments:
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=india+wild+dogs+leopard&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=india+wild+dogs+leopar&sc=0-16&sp=-1&sk=&undefined=undefined#view=detail&mid=DC3A862379465F7CBF6DDC3A862379465F7CBF6D - http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=india+wild+dogs+leopard&qs=n&form=QBVR&pq=india+wild+dogs+leopar&sc=0-16&sp=-1&sk=&undefined=undefined#view=detail&mid=DC3A862379465F7CBF6DDC3A862379465F7CBF6D
 
A single leopard can kill a tiger, even the biggest of tigers, with only one jaw in play (killing him sometimes with a single bite), the wild dogs will have 20-30 jaws in play (which will be constant and accumilated through out the fight)...as most of the accounts are now strengthend, as they start off with, dhole often tree leopards and tigers, and sometimes cases have been known to kill tigers. Theres not one case or two, there are literally hundreds...to me thats more than a plausible an credible means of accepting the posibility, topped in by how much videos show how formidable they are against, leopards, hyenas and other predators, tigers are no exception.
 
Why didnt the leopard just butcher the dhole like you suggested many times the claws would? Because big cats (excluding lions) are solitary and dont have premptive striking and killing tactics when it comes to being out-numberd offensively, nothing you have ever brought suggest they do, they are more defensive than offensive, just being defensive is not going to be any argument for the tiger to win,as he has a limitation to his stamina and endurance.

Male lions ejected from prides at reaching sexual maturity may live solitary, nomadic lives, & yet they do not fear dogs..

& all cats are enigmatic creatures, with a wide range of potential behaviours, depending on their individual character, mood & motive drives.

The video you linked did not show much P, maybe the leopard was up the tree on other business? Or to avoid the humans? No actual conflict though.. certainly nothing proof-wise of a mass killing frenzy,
as the grisly old jungle fables/fallacies supposedly relate..

Have a look at the youtube vid 'Tiger Kills Dog' to see just how quickly this really happens..

Then why did the leopard leap down and kill the wild dogs, only two of them, no? Not 30, and again more arguments that contradict the main point, 20+ wild dogs can kill a tiger, not 1. And those hyenas would still see to the collective system of lions, do you have any proof that shows hyenas are brain dead in memory? They would still remember that lions are in prides, wheather one is ousted or alone as well, unless in a form of distress or wounded and alone, just being alone is not gona make them forget lions as a species are not in collective groups who aid each other, and they do attack the females, even when there are 10+ of them, which further exploits your arguments of claws will sheith them from being bitten from any angle.

Guess this one is fake too then:
http://africageographic.com/blog/wild-dogs-kill-leopard/ - http://africageographic.com/blog/wild-dogs-kill-leopard/
 
 
- Wild dogs cannot kill animals as big as a tiger (even though sambar out weigh tigers two folds)
- Tigers have infinite stamina (even though the heat alone can kill them, no fight needed)
- Tigers cannot even be nipped because of 360 paw swiping (even though no proof of that exist nor 180 turning constantly for over just 10 minutes)
- Wild dogs cannot bypass claws of big cats (even though it shows right there a leopard being killed)
- The records are all fake (even though biologist, naturalist, eye-witnesses, ecologist native and hunters all agree against you)
- The 5 dholes injuring the tiger is fake hocus pocus witch doctoring fables by anicent romans written in stone (even though you refuse to email them)
 
Your contradictions: 1.) No matter what will be said of the dholes superior numbers you will link or mention single dogs being killed by big cats (not what the subject is about). 2.) No matter what is said about lions being true pack/pride animals, you will use them as a comparison just because they are cats too (not what any other cat can attain mentally or physically).
 
What less than 10 wild dogs can do to a leopard:
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=leopard+fleas+from+attacking+dogs+wild+&qs=ds&form=QBVR#view=detail&mid=DCA7162201EB51B75767DCA7162201EB51B75767 - http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=leopard+fleas+from+attacking+dogs+wild+&qs=ds&form=QBVR#view=detail&mid=DCA7162201EB51B75767DCA7162201EB51B75767
 
20+ would no dought do to a tiger. The prime male lions are nearly immune to being attacked because of their social system, regardless if one is alone for a time being, they're attitudes hardly change, and they're manes dont dissapear either...on average this is why the lion is not attempted when alone, unless by extreme conditions, weak, sickly, old, dying ect...as for tigers, even if its in his prime, they lack the attitude, the mane and the social system.

Again, no actual unequivocal proof exists to confirm the d'hole legends, just admit it P..

In the African links, we don't know if the dead leopard was already injured or otherwise infirm too, as seems probable/likely, & in the 'fleas' video the dog yelps from surprise/fear/a strike? & also 'fleas' - when confronted by the leopard.
Perhaps the cat was more concerned about the rowdy people than the dogs anyhow..

Are then any 'stories' of d'hole packs vs Asiatic lions?

I dont have to admit anything, you act as if I am in a academic review giving a speech in front of wild life conservationlist...I'm on no timer, neither is not having any tangible evidence reason to dispute anything...again, do you have a video of hyenas tearing a leopard apart? No, and that doesnt dispute they cant, and dont.  The only person who should be admitting something is you, you have no arguments against stamina/endurance issues nor proof they can fight at all angles without being nipped just once. Perhaps, and then again, perhaps not, the humans werent the ones chasing the leopard, nor was the leopard transfixed on the humans. In your case the dog did yelp...did he blow up into a million peices because of it? No, hence the weapons of claws and fangs are more superficial than you made them out to be, espeacially against so many at once.
 
Its no biggie, I am not losing any cred in this department, I am just sharing what most people wont know...again, not tryna make any one convert over, just letting them know some detailed facts with some from eyewitnessers involved too, like the one  detailed account given of a whole fight on page one, not a already dead tiger being eaten. The book was not in the fictional section, nor the novel section, it was a biological one...via science. You can email the 5 dhole ones when ever you feel the need to prove your self wrong.

Hang on P,
Lets get a few things straight here..
..that book is described as 'passionate' not 'cooly scientific'..
& as for the '5 dogs', so-called Indian 'news' story, the tiger wasn't even "torn to shreds"..

I am not doubting for the sake of being oppositional, just on
the bounds of feasibility..

The fear shown by dogs when one of their kind is literally screaming its
last breath out in the jaws of a large cat is palpable..

So, you reckon d'holes as such, are profoundly fierce & untypical dogs, so will typically react savagely to this event - causing them to redouble their efforts, rushing in regardless to emulate their expired pack-mate - in a frenzied kamikaze-like assault.. but this is, of course, properly belongs in the realms of fantasy/fiction, - being in reality, most "unlikely"..

Simply implausible..
& remains to this day - unsupported by genuine, validated evidence..

You are the one alibing them as bull rushing in attacking tigers (I am saying they would defend them selves), you are the one stateing they are kamikaze dogs, (I am saying they would defend themselves), you are the ones saying these dogs go out looking for war, looking to be pesty piranahs and devour anything in their way, (I am saying they would defend them selves againt a attaking tiger with the empowerment of more than 20 jaws that can tear flesh).

You dont need a science lab coat with a bunch of smoking colored water jars to be deemd science, science just means knowledge, hence these people are eye witnessers to the event, whats more knowledgeable than that? Did you miss the part they had to treat the tiger? isnt it tiger 101 for any biologist, ecologist and zoologist to know that a injured tiger has a massive chance of not surviving? I thought you would know that since you act as if you have a Ph.d on subject. Followed up by, didnt a single rabies dog manage to bite a tiger recently? Now how in gods green earth did that ever happen, what happened to the tigers superman speed that was suppose to cancel out 30 wild dogs snapping jaws let alone one? What happen to the titanium body of the tiger to resist the puny dogs biting psi? They wouldnt have, have to give the tiger a shot if the teeth didnt penatrate the skin now would they?

The screaming of the wild dogs last breath would only re-double their furry and prowess and probably attract more dhole in the area who are now full of vigor, have a full gaged of vitality while the tiger already is now winded from killing one or two. Its not a kamikaze when the dog is actually showing skill of maunverability like the one did againt the two hyena video. Unsupported? You mean you are too afraid to ask them for what....you...want...(since I dont have to email them, I believe them as is) the only thing I have gotten straight about you is, no matter how many litterature of eyewitness accounts is brought in, you will deny it, you are one of the, need to see video deniers out there...nothing to do with truth or false, you just want things your way, and you do everything you can to uphold this pesudo refuting.

Which your pseudo-refuting can actually be null'd just the same, show me a video of a tiger going up against a large pack of wild dogs, and not being injured. Bet you cant. (wink) Hence your poor, contradicting opinions, are unsupported and have zero validations to your claims. Wow, now that was easy (laugh).

Ah, no P, scientific evidence-based research does not work like that..

I suggest you look up the hierarchy of research validity.( & that of 'sources' - in literature review, such as primary, or lesser)..

No need to descend to making up even more fanciful stuff such as the kids do on Carnivora ( & funnily enough, I today 'earned' a ban in perpetuity - from there, for mentioning their stupidities - here!), like Ti framed tigers..

As I noted earlier, I do not doubt that dogs would/do employ harassment -'dogging' tactics against a rival predator, but I do contend that it would be,( & is, as actually shown by the video evidence), done fairly circumspectly with that big cat,& keeping out of tiger striking/grasping range - for sure - if they valued their lives..

Like-wise as D. Attenborough commented, if the tiger does grab a d'hole, it will destroy it on principle, but it would not - usually - bother to waste much of its energy to gain such a small morsel, ( unless sorely aggrieved), accordingly..


& have another look at the instances of 'game' trained fighting dogs being set on fierce lions, for sport, where they soon lost their ardour for the fight in panic, when they saw their fellows smashed so devastatingly..

Why do you imagine small wild dogs - who have to forage for a living,
would be any less fearful.. than trained, big bred 'game' dogs..

It does not compute..
