Quote:This remark suggests Batalov agrees with John Vaillant, who wrote Amur tigers, and males in particular, are vindictive animals well capable of holding a grudge ('The Tiger', 2010, pp. 138-140, 158, 171). Although Vaillant initially seemed to refer to Amur tigers and humans only, he later made it clear bears should be included:

" ... Amur tigers will occasionally kill bears solely on something we might recognize as principle ... " ('The Tiger', 2010, pp. 140). 

Batalov stated that tigers are clever, with a capacity for premeditated revenge:

"The tiger is extremely smart, shrewd, able to estimate the situation, and, to some degree, to predict the development of affairs. The animal learns very quickly by his follies and develops new habits that help him survive in the changing environment."
