Xo. I._TIGERS AND THEIR PREY. 



Twice lately I have come across an instance of a tiger killing a buffalo. 

 lu both cases the buffalo was not killed straight off, but was sufficiently 

 tlamaged as to be unable to move and died where he was dropped, before the 



next night. 



On both occasions the tiger must have known the aniniuls were dying, but 

 in spite of this never came back to see how they were getting on, 



I am anxious to know whether it is the usual thing for a tiger to abandon a 

 kill when the victim is not killed straight off— even though it is so badly 

 damaged as to be unable to get away V
