I don't know how far they are capable of dragging a body. But there was a situation in California where a couple were in a wilderness park with their 2 kids and a mountain lion grabbed their little girl without making a sound - no screams, no tracks, nothing. The only reason her parents were able save her was that the mother saw something out of the corner of her eye. The kid just disappeared into thin air. The parents started searching and couldn't find anything. They eventually heard a moan and tracked the sound when they found the cat with the girl still in it's mouth dragging her away.
Amazingly, the girl lived even though her skull was crushed. The lion was beaten off with a stick.
I know that after they feed on their prey, they cover the remain with dirt and debris to hide the body.

I have heard that on the safaris that they take you by elephant back in India through tiger country, they tell you to "STAY CLOSE TO THE ELEPHANT" and emphasize it over and over. There was a video where the party stopped, got off the elephant and a guy just went to the edge of the clearing 20 feet from the elephant to relieve himself when a tiger snatched him. Unfortunately, he did not survive.
