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 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

Wild dogs make formidable foes, but it is doubtful whether a large pack will attack a tiger. It has been recorded however, that disputes over kills do occur." Two instances of wild dogs attacking tigers are recorded. In one, the tiger was mauled by the dogs, while in the second story, related by Connel, 22 dogs attacked a tiger over a kill. The ferocious dogs cared not for death, even after 12 of them lay dead and some were badly injured. They killed and ate the tiger.

Friends, I'm new here, but I have done some digging into this topic, and believe it or not, I don't find these accounts to be plausible. But I'm going to explain why.

Believe it or not, none of these accounts have been scientifically verified, so one must take caution if they are to believe the accounts.

The stories describe many dholes being killed by the tiger before the others finish it off, I do not find this plausible since when the size of a pack is reduced, that means hunting will be less efficient, there will be fewer members to raise the pups, and they will be more vulnerable to being overpowered by a larger pack. So hunting tigers is going to be a huge risk, and an unnecessary risk at that. Animals will not take unnecessary risks simply because that would be stupid. Also, there hasn't been a single case of dholes chasing off or killing a tiger for several years, and it is no longer believed that dholes supress tiger populations since many places that have dholes have seen an increase in the tiger population, something that wouldn't happen if dholes contained tiger populations.
