That was the tigress Severina who was chased away by an adult male Himalayan black bear, not an Ussuri brown bear. She had already been feeding on the carcass for a couple of hours prior to being chased away by the hungry bear, so she was full.

But I don't think that was her kill, at the end of the video, after the birds, bears and tigress Severina were done feeding on the kill, the male tiger 'Khan' comes, claims the carcass and takes it away. So I think all those animals were scavenging on the male tiger's kill after he had left the vicinity, hence why he moved his kill to another place, as tigers usually do when they know scavengers have been feeding on their kill.

At 1:33 in the video, something scares away the brown bear from the carcass. Tiger returning to his kill?

This video was recorded in the Sikhote-Alin Reserve. Reply
