During my visit to Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (Keoladeo National Park), Rajasthan, in February (2019), I had the opportunity to witness a rather ghastly moment in the wild.
A female spotted deer, which was apparently ill and was unable to move was killed by two feral dogs. When I reached the spot, I could see them feeding on the carcass.
These dogs also chased a spotted deer fawn which was able to escape to live another day due to intervention of the forest guards and rickshaw guides of Bharatpur.
Feral dogs with predatory behaviour are a growing threat to the wildlife in the protected areas which does not seem to have any practical solution at present.
