Do you guys know where I can find that report of an amur tigress that attacked a wolf pack and potentially killed one or more? I'm sure there was a report similar to this on this or another thread but I can't find that anymore, I'm sure there was also a night vision cameratrap showing the tiger doing that.

Are you talking about this report? I posted this account a while back on this forum. A juvenile Amur tigress named 'Ilona' drove an entire pack of wolves out of a reserve and killed at least 4 wolves in the process.

"Tigress Ilona continues to exterminate wolves. A few days ago, when examining her cluster, the remains of another wolf, killed and eaten by her, were found," continues the deputy director for scientific work of the Khingansky Reserve. "From mid-November to the present day, her menu consists of two wapiti, two wolves, ten deer and 20 piglets."

"With the arrival of Ilona, the number of wolves has decreased, they have moved to a more safe territory for them, that is, away from the tigress."

“The remains of an adult wolf killed and eaten by tigress Ilona were found in the Khingansky Nature Reserve. According to Vyacheslav Kastrikin, Deputy Director of the Khingansky Nature Reserve, this is the fourth reliable case in a year when the wild cat has killed a wolf. However, there may be more."

"Hunting tigers for wolves is an infrequent phenomenon. Usually wolves try to leave the territory where tigers live. Therefore, four reliable facts of hunting wolves are an extraordinary case. “No wolf hunter can provide such efficiency,” Vyacheslav said.

"The tigress Ilona settled in the Khingansky reserve, displacing other predators - wolves. The flock moved north of the wild cat's habitat."
