Something interesting. Herbivores are scared of the sounds of elephants in musth and react to them similar to how they react to predators


Hippos with overgrown tusks just look prehistoric.




Ngl, this was one of the craziest attempts of hybridization between bears. Had to be put down because of being too angry

Credit to @denistyrant for showing me this one time. So, the majority of lions killed by hyenas and bears are males


Imagine you are a lion, and you run into a clan of 113 hyenas

Found this cool footage of a grey whale trying to slap the orcas that are chasing it
Camera trap footage of a siberian tiger trying to find prey in winter and a ussuri brown bear following the tiger tracks (probably to find the cats kill)
So, there are potential records of orca predation on bears

Something interesting. On average, brown bear hunts range from 5 seconds to 58 min of chasing after prey. In said hunts they usually run 818m


A new study about ussuri boar and siberian tigers came out. 1.67–74% of boar kills are young and adult female. 2. Lone boars get attacked more often than a herd of boar. 3. Male boars will act like bodyguards against tigers. link.springer.com/article/10.113…
Aquila private game reserve might be one of my favorite reserves. It is one of the few areas where you can see African animals in snow in the wild.




Even tho maned wolves mainly eat plants, they will occasionally hunt similar sized animals like rhea and deer

Decided to come back and work on a small project I had. Age and sex of tigers prey species from multiple studies/reports. (Will have the references listed once everything is done)
