In another new video captured on a Chinese researcher's camera trap, a large adult brown bear was seen fleeing from a smaller young female tiger in Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park. This is the 2nd video of an adult brown bear fleeing from a tigress.

This recent video was captured in Primorye in the Russian Far East. An adult male brown bear fleeing from a smaller tigress:

There are now two very recent videos of Amur tigers interacting with Ussuri brown bears. And in both cases, its female tigers chasing away larger adult brown bears. These videos confirm that even tigresses can be dominant in encounters with larger adult brown bears and chase them out of the vicinity.

Hence why extensive modern scientific field research and data shows, that even large male brown bears will rarely directly usurp a tigress's kill, in most cases, even large male bears will patiently wait for the tigress to finish eating, leave the vicinity, and then approach her kill and scavenge on the left-overs.

This is why large male brown bears sometimes follow tiger tracks in hopes of finding left-over tiger kills so they can scavenge on the remains. But when tigers, especially male tigers, return to their kills and find a scavenging brown bear, the tiger sometimes will kill and eat the bear.


From renowned tiger biologist and ecologist - Dr. John Seidenstecker

When a tiger returns to its kill and finds a wild boar or brown bear scavenging the kill, the tiger has a chance to kill another big meal:

A size comparison between the tigress and the large adult brown bear she was chasing.

The brown bear was much larger and way more massive than the tigress. This clearly looks like a full-grown male brown bear:
