- Elephants vs Dholes (wild dogs). Dholes vs Gaur. Bandipura National Park. Karnataka. India.
During one of our safaris at Bandipur, we got to learn that a pack of Dholes (wild dogs) were coming our way. As we tracked the Dholes, we saw them trying to attack some elephants. The elephants won, but there was more to this battle ...... The video was shot very late in the evening with our handy cam.
Thank you so much for sharing. Wish Indian Wildlife gets 1% of the attention from Wildlife film-makers and Tourists that African Wildlife gets.
Wildlife in India is far more endangered. And such films are the best way to bring awareness among people.
That's how a mother tries to save a child! with everything she got, with all the energy, compassion & love. The prey tries to stay out of trouble but the predators have instinct to savage. Thumb-up capture, keep it up.
That's right, even if she gores and tramples her own calf to death!
Nature playing its own role in its own way ... don't spoil it don't interrupt it.... it will grow in great balance...
Oh STFU
Actually a baby gaur is called a "calf".... a cub would be a fitting name for young predatory mammals like bears, wolves, hyenas and big cats...
Surprising to see the rest of the herd in such a passive mode...
Gaur herds are very small compared to African buffalos or north american bisons. Yet mothers of all hers animals must leave their herd to give birth alone to avoid stampede.
5:24 ...damn. That mother sealed her calf's fate.
ಹೌದು
Guys, this is what life is. The dogs have to eat, as so do lions and every carnivorous predators. Before saying this is sad, look up how factories kill the cattle and chickens that WE eat.
Brianna Mckinney life cycle is same only different is we use knife and they kill live. being human dose not mean we r different, just that we are thinking different but in reality 'we to are wild'
True
It's eat or become eaten on planet Earth. Always has been, always will be.
congrats and thanks Aranya, for the winderful shoot. you are an extremely lucky person.
wtf is lucky in this
5:27 Roger that, friendly fire!
Great piece of team work and synchronization. Agile and effective hunters of Indian Forest.
Dholes are one of the most efficient hunters in the Indian Jungle, they have been known to kill tiger.
That's the law of Nature.One animal looses its life to feed another.
The calf was doomed the moment its own mother accidentally flipped it in the air.
@Mohd Rafiq gadha tu hai......wo dikha raha hai ki jungle me kaise encounters hothe...not to disturb the balance.
@Who Cares? this is nothing comapred to african painted dogs
@@luciifer666 African painted dogs are terrible
@1945RJM - Thanks a bunch :) We used an ordinary JVC Everio handy-cam.
At these times need to sacrifice your your duty and save the Animal that is BEING HUMAN
Or let it be. It's nature and those dholes need to eat too
if you save them today , tomorrow the Dogs will come back .
Can you keep following the animals in your Jeep throughout the Jungle for the rest of your life ?
@@ultrashark_ Besides, the prey's species aren't critically endangered to extinction.
@@shatnermohanty6678 It's also natural selection to keep the gene pool strong and healthy.
@@UnwantedGhost1-anz25 this has been going on for tens of thousands of years , even before human beings existed on the planet .
And you're right , this is nature's way
Wow Awesome Video Sugandhi and Rana, Hats of to you guys for taking this video and pictures so magnificently. its an award winning material for sure.

@mhanchinal I also think the same! The gaur herds are obviously frighterned by the visitors jeeps. These safaris are affecting the animals nature.
A successful hunt, but the considerable effort the dholes put into it, plus how small the calf is to go around between so many of them, makes me wonder just how productive this really was for their survival.
High back then when the human population wasn't over one billion. And before firearms were invented.
I've seen a video showing the equivalent in North America, except it's wolves ganging up on a mother Moose and her calf. Same thing happens - too many wolves for the moose to fend off and eventually, the mother does something that injures her calf and from that point on, it's a losing battle. Once the calf goes down, there's nothing the mother can do to save it.
05:20 attacked her baby by mistake
Amazing sighting you guys have had! good job on capturing it as well...!
This is the second video I've seen where the gaur step on her calf. This one even flipped her calf in the air. Stepping on the offspring is seems like a common occurrence when when a pack of dogs attack a large animal's offspring. Moose against wolves, Africa wild dogs against buffalos or dholes against gars, the offspring is in as much danger from getting stepped on as it is from getting bitten.
The mental capacity of those prey animals are very small. All they need to do is surround their offspring while standing in a circle with their faces and horns facing towards their enemies, and not break the circle. But they always try to run and chase after their enemies and that's when they or their offspring become vulnerable. All they need to do is stick together in a circle facing their enemies.
@@MonetaryGain That goes to demonstrate how intelligent the wild dogs truly are. It's how they survive for millions of years.
And you thought you had it hard when you were a kid! Damn!
amazing footage, three of the most spectacular species in India.

Sad to see how she flips that calf at 5:27, it really looked injured by it.
3:56, lol, they look so cute
@ SugandhiRanaBelur
How long did this whole process take(with the calf)??? At the start of the calf section, was the calf already assaulted by the dogs?
dholes are like land piranhas, little but terrifyng in packs
NO...NO.... NO....NO, THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO - THE HELL WITH THESE CORNBALLS.... THUMBS UP TO YOU "UPLOADER!" AND THANK YOU FOR THIS COOL VIDEO....😉
Valiant and courageous effort by the bull to save that dear, yet completely hopeless.
great capture...ur are very lucky to see that , TFS
This kind of hunt is so difficult to watch, though I hope to film it myself one day. Does anyone know why the rest of the gaur herd don't come to help, as is the case with some other species of cattle? Has such a thing ever been recorded in guar?
I wonder if this was a low-ranking cow. That might explain why she wasn't getting much support from the rest of the herd.
Their behaviour is also just like other cattle, they rather try to save themselves safe from the predator. This has ben observed many times. I have filmed once a pack of 7 Wild Dogs successfully bringing down a a gaur calf. Do check it out in my page.
Why do people keep assaulting the uploader? Seriously, this video is awesome!
fr it’s just wild vs wild it’s kit lien there in a cage being abused
@beamprimary Difference is animals do this to survive and eat there not to being malicious, humans are they same specious as each other yet kill for greed and fun...
How many wild dogs would it take to take down a full size male Elephant. Many 50? --- 100?
It's Nature. Let it play out. Nature is cruel.
I’ ve seen gazelles doing a lot more to fend their young than this gaur
seen so many bovines do this. they're not too coordinated. in Africa seen a female water buffalo gore her offspring in trying to fend off lions/hyenas. got to give credit to these little canids for being so brave and confront suck a huge animal
I wish i was there to help the mother....
Redi Beyan ...i agree..I would love to have been there. I would have dragged that calf to my truck and taken to my ranch and Bbq it.
Bengal tigers have been known to back down from packs of Indian wild dogs or Dholes as they are also called.
Good thing for the D'Holes that they aren't dealing with African Lion Pride and Spotted Hyena Clan. Imagine IF Tigers became social pack hunters?
good
it was getting overwhelmed there were to many of them
Incredible mother fight
Great video.
thank heavens that man came out of the jungle and made villages and cities.
Nature is GOD! But at least I can't stand my hands down if this is happening in front of me! God bless You!
Very good
The forest is surprisingly thin
Awesome video!!!
How many rupees is the cost for safari?
I am sad about seeing the other Gaur doesn't really Help to fight the Dogs away from the calf and it's mother!
Great record! Thanks for sharing
Now I know where the phases like, "you stupid cow!" And " Clumsy cow!" Comes from! First she slings it in the air, knocking it flat. Then she stands and jumps on the poor little bugger!! It's only minutes old when the wild Dar arrive. They didn't need to do much but run in circles as,another phase comes to mind "that dizzy cow!" did it all for them.
Nature is cruel at times, however, gives fierce black humour from time to time!! LMAOL!!!!
Well domesticated cows are pretty intelligent . I have seen cape buffalo mums defending their calves against a group of hyena succesfully without hurting their child . I think this gaur, cow was totally confused and exhausted by the attacks of the dogs that she didn't realized that she hurted her baby. I have seen a wildbeest mum also goring accidentally her baby while trying to chase away a leopard that attacked her calf.
Those buffaloes are weird
They are like not aggressive or idk
Baby getting killed in front of her little hairs away
Yet she remains slow and like confused
In the confusion,the mother accidentally gored her young while big papa standing around like an idiot lol.
Lol
Hey Guys, its unimaginable. The rules of Jungle are too bad:(( Amazing Video, Sugandhi heard you shot the entire video. Great job guys. Munna
5:28 lol dogs said thank for that lol
They're going to kill the mother eventually, are they?
@UnwantedGhost1-anz25 Unlike their African counterparts they will likely restrict their efforts to the calf. I've yet to have seen any video where they take down a beast as large as the mother. Perhaps if there were more if them.
Oh my god...that's so sad. She tossed her calf...and then the calf was a more easy prey for the dogs. It must be so exhausting to be a calf and for the mother also. The mother does all she can to scare away the dogs, but there are too many of them...poor calf...life is hard...
super video.
Why the herd nearby didn't help the gaur
Unbelievable!
nature .......
there are so many dogs in that pack, its just a matter of time
Nailed that one on all counts.
Nature Wins
E a natureza nao podermos interferir
You're right, and I find it very strange that they are.
Could they have evolved in conditions with very little predation?
The dogs just tired out the parent, and at one point the parent got confused and flipped the calf up in the air.
The dogs are a great evolutionary strategy. Gaur are stupid animals, and their evolution in defense of dog packs is way slow. Compare that, with "Battle at Kruger".
Dholes are some of the most dangerous creatures you can find in India; rather meet a fully grown tiger than a pack of those.
Well if you carry a m16 u can face anybody
Tigers retreat because they are cowardly. It is known that lions are smaller in size and easily kill one or two hyenas
The dhole weighs about 44 pounds, about 1/4 the size of a hyena and has weaker jaws
They are about 26 to 44 pounds and only reach 18 members. Tigers may weigh up to 300 kg. So a tiger might kill a whole bunch
Amazing..accidentally mother gaur hit her calf...and lifted her in the air...the other gaurs could have helped her..pity
Nature at it's best or most violent. Depends on your POV. Yes, it can be cruel friends. But thanks to the Camera person for letting it play out, naturally.
She can't protect the baby. The pack is too big and she is too slow
They don't kill the tigers, they steal their kills.
dholes are awesome
Thicc Bear yeah coool.
Those wild dogs are smaller than the African wild dogs.
Even the Indian elephant is not as big as the African elephant.
+Jauckor what you said is absoloutly right even indian people are not big as african people
ahaha
***** hey you i am indian
Come on that's nature, you can't compare.
The rest of these Gaur offer little help.....although..there's almost no defence against a pack of wild dogs....the same as their African cousins, who are such efficient hunters...
never seen this type of wild dogs before
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم
It's a rare and unique video...thumbs up to the uploader...make it a copyright
life in the forest is more harder......the gaur actually... unfortunately killed its calf ..but what it did is unfortunately right because god needs to complete the eco system.....
No kidding. The Gaur should easily trample or otherwise crush such small dogs. African Water Buffalo are not even close to food for Wild Dogs, except in very rare instances where calves can be isolated.
สงสารลูกกระทิง คนถ่ายน่าจะช่วยมันบ้าง
But those people who eat a juicy piece of steak at restaurant didn't see the slaughter that took place in order for them to get that piece of steak! They are so silly.
the cub was wounded by her mother by a accident , then it lost its chance to run away
That flip killed it way before the peck nibbled on it.
cub????its called calf ha ha ha lol.
That little cow looked so tasty!!
good good
@uscrickboy may be its just a group of tuskless elephants...i am sure u know only 90 % male south indian elephants and almost none female ones have tusks..it would be unfair to believe that the tusks have been removed..
I feel sorry for that poor calf and its mother, but I guess, that is how it works... I don't know whether to call this beautiful or wild or may be beautiful wilderness
These dogs are called dholes, and are related to the Cape Hunting Dog in Africa. The Gaur family should have protected the calf better, but she didnt help it by tossing it and injuring it badly; it went all downhill from there.
Indian wildlife and African wildlife are similar in many ways
What? And this little foxes are so impudent? I think a common dachshund would be more ten anough for one.
And this is the animal that a lot of people say can beat a cape buffalo because it has more size. The gaur isn't as aggressive that a lot of people make it out to be
The Gaur in general is not an aggressive animal. They become aggressive only when they are disturbed. On most occasion the comparison is done based on the size, gaur is the largest among all wild cattle in the world.
I've never seen Dholes failing in hunt.
These are quite natural in the wild. Having said this they have the highest success rate among any predators. It is also one of their strategy like any predator to give up to conserve energy for the next oppurtunity.
i always wonder where the other members of the herd are.
this is awesome! i'm sharing this link with friends
(hight time slrs had silencers, btw)
thanks for shooting it completely out of focus
Lion ❤❤❤
@uscrickboy ...sad to see you comment without even the basic knowledge that those were elephant cows which don't have tusks!! 'All gone"......what did you think, they wear dentures?
Did the mother paralyze her own calf with that flip omg what a mess
Nature at work! You know why none of the other gaurs come to help? None of the males can stand against a pack of dogs because they know how/where to get him (if you know what I mean)..;)... Nature it might be but I would probably have thrown stones at the dogs :) Can't see a baby of any kind suffer...In all admiration of nature, would I see a human go through the same fate...NO! right?
