Hi Apex Titan. I am unable to post in the edge of extinction. However, I believe I found an addition to the Soviet Literature account. Hope to here your comment on this. Also since there accounts of interactions and some pictures of size comparisons between amur tigers and Ussuri brown bears, I am hoping it is alright to post this addition here.

Interesting and good find. I found this account a couple of years back, but couldn't find the full context on Google books.

I'm not surprised the tiger got injured tackling a huge brown bear, especially when huge brown bears in this region can weigh between 400-600 kg. But the tiger wasn't seriously injured, he only had a injured front paw, but nothing serious. The bear seemed to be mauled quite badly, as there was blood on the snow and tufts of the bears fur all over the place.

This account proves though, that some male tigers will even hunt a huge brown bear, which indicates that even the biggest male brown bears are not immune from tiger predation. Reply
