    Default Sambhar Deer at Tadoba

    Nikon 7100+70-300mm FL150mm f/8 ISO 800 1/80s.This particular sambhar seemed gored and battered and a little bad tempered as it hurried to get out of our sight.Lighting seems to have been a little poor.

    Good image of the stag. The brow tine and antler are fine. Old injury marks on the body of the Sambar are noticed. Possibly the predator was not an adult tiger in this case, it was smaller and failed to pull the Sambar down, as I see it. Many thanks for taking us to a Jungle drama enacted before. SaktiWild

    Lovely capture with nice details. Looking at the scratch marks the mind starts imagining the situation the stag must have undergone for survival.

    May be a juvenile tiger had attacked from the side and failed to pull down the sambar to the ground. Sub-adult tigers don't often know how to dislocate the neck. This image reminds us that the tiger has to often go hungry as many of its attempts at killing prey are unsuccessful. That is why the prey base has to be much larger, else the tiger spends much more energy in searching for food.
