Among the numerous carnivores in Xiaoxinganling, in addition to Siberian tiger, lynx and wolves, there are also two kinds of beasts, they are brown bear and black bear, which overlap and distribute in Taiping There are about 30-50 in the ditch forest area.

Of course, in addition to top carnivores, top raptors are also resident in Taipinggou. The golden eagle , known as the "king of birds", has repeatedly "picked up" leftover food from Siberian tigers.

01 is really a "bear killer", he preyed on 4 black bears and killed 2 brown bears


Boris has had a hard time with bears since he was a child. When he was only 2 years old, he killed a 3-year-old black bear, the first bear in his hunting career.
Generally speaking, Siberian tigers rarely attack bears, and only a few male tigers dare to kill bears. However, when Boris was young, he competed with a 3-year-old bear for food, and there was a fierce conflict. Seeing that the tiger was a "little kid", the black bear did not take Boris in his eyes, and went straight to the fight.

Two young beasts scuffled in the virgin forest and started a life-and-death struggle. In the end, the superior Boris defeated the little black bear, but he was also seriously injured by the bear's paw. And the little black bear unfortunately became Boris's delicacy because of his overreach.

One year later, Boris met another adult black bear,It strikes again and kills it in the forests of the Far East. Don't blame Boris this time. The black bear didn't know how much he weighed, yet he dared to snatch a roe deer that Boris just caught.
Tiger's mouth grabs food? This was intolerable, and Boris rushed forward very fiercely, directly biting the black bear's throat. The black bear was tasting the food. He didn't even think that there was a tiger next to him. After struggling a few times, he fell to the ground. Boris still didn't get rid of his hatred, and bit the black bear beyond recognition.

Boris may have a tendency to kill bears. In addition to shooting black bears, he also does not let go of brown bears. In 2018, Boris killed a 149kg female brown bear; in 2020, Boris killed another 200kg brown bear.

However, when it comes to killing bears, Boris is still inferior to a Siberian tiger named "Dell". Dell weighs 206 kilograms and is really a "bear killer". He has killed at least 4 adult female brown bears, 2 A little brown bear and 6 black bears.
02 Over 5 mountains, 9 rivers, 500 kilometers, Boria met "Cinderella"

Boria in Amur Region After being released to nature, he was with Boria Svetraya, which was rewilded in the PRNCO Tiger Center, was also released 1 month later in Jewish Autonomous Oblast . "Svetraya" means "Cinderella" in Russian.

After the "infatuated" Boria was released, he did not spend his days lying down in the mountains and forests of the Amur Region, but embarked on a journey to find Svetraja.







According to monitoring data, Boria left the Amur Region and wandered in the mountains and forests. In about a year, it has climbed a total of 5 mountains, countless small hills, and crossed 9 large rivers, with a journey of more than 500 kilometers, and came to the Jewish Autonomous Prefecture.
On this day, it is snowing heavily in the Jewish Autonomous Region,Boria suddenly smelled Svetraya, which made him happy, and followed the smell, looking around in the snow. While walking, he encountered a male Siberian tiger eating a deer. Boria didn't want to cause trouble, so he had to take a detour from the side.

Fortunately, the hard work pays off, Boria finally reunites with Svetraya in a valley. However, Svetraya has become someone's "daughter-in-law". Boria did not care about this, and took Svetraya to the south, hoping to establish his own territory there.

Soon, Buria and Svetraya entered the bridal chamber. In the spring of 2017, Svetraya gave birth to a tiger cub, a "boy", and everyone called it "Thunder". In January 2020, Svetraya gave birth again, and gave birth to "a boy and a girl" to Boria. The two tigers have already given birth to their second litter.

Boria is also very "manly", he did not leave, but stayed to take care of his "wife and children", and was very conscientious. It's not that he has no conscience like other Siberian tigers. He slipped away after the wedding night, and he didn't care about the lives of his children.

It is said that a brown bear came to attack Svetraya just after giving birth. Boria stepped forward to fight the brown bear. During the battle, the brown bear slapped it with its bear paw. Boris was almost killed by the brown bear. When Svetraya rushed up, the two tigers drove the brown bear away together.


03 Who says one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers? Boris and Lei Ting "father and son" travel to China

On March 5, 2020, Boris was photographed crossing the border and entering Taipinggou, Heilongjiang. It quickly occupied a valley and killed a wild boar , he won't leave, is he looking for territory for his "son" Lei Ting?







As everyone knows, after a day, its son Lei Ting hurriedly waded from the other side to Taiping Valley, entered the same mountain forest with Boris, and had no time to hunt, so he had to eat. The boar boars caught by Boris and then began to cruise around, marking them to claim sovereignty.
Although "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers", Boria and Lei Ting do indeed live in the same mountain,This unconventional phenomenon comes as a surprise, even though they are a "father-son" relationship.

What is even more surprising is that the infrared camera also captured the scene of two tigers hunting together. A lynx was walking leisurely under the forest, and Lei Ting, because he was young and inexperienced, rushed forward before the lynx could enter the hunting range. The lynx was so shrewd that he turned around and escaped, but Boria ran out and killed the lynx in one bite.

Some netizens are heartbroken about the lynx and warned Boris that this is China's territory, don't mess around! In fact, in the world of animals, there are no borders, and wherever there is food, they will go to develop territory and regard it as their own territory.


04 The Siberian Tiger Thunder went directly into the hibernation hole and dragged the 200-pound black bear out of the hole

There are many black bears living in Taiping Valley. Generally, experienced black bears are very cautious when choosing a hibernation warehouse. They first look for stone caves, and if they can't find them, they look for tree holes in large trees. Because of this, even if the tiger finds out, the tiger can't get in and can only stare at the side.







Thunder may have inherited Boris's gene for being good at hunting bears. After coming to Taipinggou, he frequently attacked black bears. One day, it found a black bear hiding in a hole in the middle of the mountain. Now that it has experience, it has been lying beside it all night and has not seen the black bear come out yet.
Lei Ting had no choice but to approach the entrance of the cave and found that the entrance was relatively large, which made him so happy that he went directly into the cave where the black bear hibernated, and dragged the 200-pound black bear out of the cave.

The black bear was already weak and unresponsive during hibernation. Before he understood what was going on, he died tragically on the ground. Thunder might be too hungry and ate the belly and neck of the black bear in one fell swoop.

Actually, this black bear died not wrong, because it met a master this time. The young Thunder inherited his father's superb ability to kill bears. Preying on wild bears can be said to be the ancestral craftsmanship of Boris and his son. In addition, Thunder weighs 233 kilograms, even the Ussuri brown bear has been hunted,The record is stronger than his father Boris.
Leiting has incorporated Taipinggou and even the entire Xiaoxing'anling area into its own territory. It seems that the black bears of Xiaoxing'anling will live a life of fear from now on.

05Boria came to China again? It may be the "female" of "Lazovka"

This year, the Siberian tigers in Russia began to come to China again. On January 17, traces of the Siberian tiger were found many times in the Sandaogouying forest area of Xiaoxing'an Mountains. On the afternoon of January 20, someone also saw the Siberian tiger beside the road in Wuyun Town, Jiayin County.

Someone exclaimed, is it that Boria or the Thunder are back. But the footprint left by this Siberian tiger is only 8 centimeters, it should be a female Siberian tiger, so it can't be Boria, let alone Thunder.

Animal experts analyzed that this Siberian tiger is likely to be the "female" of "Lazovka". On April 13, 2020, "Lazovka" suddenly appeared in Taipinggou National Nature Reserve, and its trace was captured by the infrared camera .



After coming to Taipinggou Reserve, "Lazovka" spent half a year "going and eating" in the reserve, and lived a life of worry-free food and clothing. Interestingly, "Lazovka" regarded this place as his home, and brought his family along with him. By the way, he brought three tiger cubs. These cubs are still very young, only five or six months old.

By now, she is almost 2 years old, so it is reasonable for experts to speculate that she is the "daughter" of "Lazovka". However, netizens also have their own opinions. They believe that it may also be Boria's "daughter", the reason being that at the beginning of 2020, Boria also gave birth to a "daughter". Who the hell
is, more photos, or a paternity test on the residue, will be the result.

Conclusion

Do you envy this Siberian tiger Boria? They do not hold passports, do not apply for visas, and travel back and forth between China and Russia in such a "willful way".And come and go.

Interesting article, thanks for posting it. It states: "In 2018, Boris killed a 149 kg female brown bear; in 2020, Boris killed another 200 kg brown bear." 

So Boris killed a large, 200 kg brown bear in recent years. This could have been an adult male brown bear, as the sex of the killed bear wasn't specified.

Interestingly, his son 'Thunder' has taken after his father and also regularly hunts bears. It states: "The young Thunder inherited his father's superb ability to kill bears. Preying on wild bears can be said to be the ancestral craftsmanship of Boris and his son. In addition, Thunder weighs 233 kilograms, even the Ussuri brown bear has been hunted. The record is stronger than his father Boris."

This suggests that there is likely a bear-hunting culture in the Amur tiger species (In the tigers blood).

You are welcome. It looks like Boris' son (Thunder) has inherited his father's genes. Perhaps Boris and Thunder might be a distant relative of Dale, I am not too sure. Thunder is also a heavier than average male tiger. Anyway without dismissing the other info, have you notice this section of the account?

Code:

Boria is also very "manly", he did not leave, but stayed to take care of his "wife and children", and was very conscientious. It's not that he has no conscience like other Siberian tigers. He slipped away after the wedding night, and he didn't care about the lives of his children.



It is said that a brown bear came to attack Svetraya just after giving birth. Boria stepped forward to fight the brown bear. During the battle, the brown bear slapped it with its bear paw. Boris was almost killed by the brown bear. When Svetraya rushed up, the two tigers drove the brown bear away together.

It seems that Boris who came to the rescue of his mate Svetraya was almost killed by a brown bear but his mate help him drive off the bear. I hope there are other accounts that will talk a bit more about it in detail.

Also someone has got another email:

Syed mojiz ali Tirmizi:-

"Hi, please reply me as i am a great fan of your work. Can a male brown bear beat a male tiger?"

WCS:-

"Thank you for your interest in wild animals. Typically, tigers do not associate with large bears and do not engage in open combat, as the outcome will be unknown. Both the tiger and the bear can win, or both can end up dying from their wounds in the fight.

We hope that we have answered your question.

All the best,
