There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I have watched more than one documentary where a big grizzly took a carcass from a large pack of grey wolves relatively unchallenged. Perhaps if the wolves were suicidal, they might kill the bear, but likely with considerable loss. I would think that the same would hold true with a tiger.
I will add that, in Yellowstone, it has been proven that bears actually benefit by the presence of wolves.
They also suffer as well, predation on cubs, competition between them, other than a large male grizzly, all other bears are in direct competition with wolf packs.
