There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The Russian Far East, the taiga, is for me, the most interesting location in the world for wildlife. Here you have the Amur brown bear, also called the Ussuri brown bear or black grizzly ( Ursus arctos lasiotus ), the Amur tiger ( Panthera tigris altaica ), and the Russian wild boar ( Sus scrofa ) all three living within one wilderness location. The black grizzly probably has a normal maximum weight of about 700 pounds, though more normally anywhere between 450 and 550 pounds. The Amur tiger likely has a normal maximum of roughly 500 pounds, though usually within the 400 pound range. The Russian wild boar, the world's second largest omnivore, can range anywhere between 400 and 800 pounds!
Nowhere else on earth's dry land can we find such an assortment of animals.
I feel certain that there have been data collected and books written and published in the Russian language from the year 1900 and into the year 2016 about the interspecific relations ( animal interactions ) between the grizzly, the tiger, and the wild boar. there must be very little of this translated into English.
Note: this topic is not to debate fight outcomes, but rather to collect any news or scientific data concerning this three mighty denizens of the Russian taiga - in relation to their interactions.
