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.

Yes or no?
Sloth bear is beat Tiger in 70% fight
There aren´t too many known cases, where there would have been fight. And when we have one case, where female sloth bear and tiger dispersed from fight and one, where big male sloth bear maybe killed a tiger, it´s difficult to say, that sloth bears would win 70%, when there are several known cases, in which tigers have killed sloth bears.
It looks like it, that if tiger isn´t able to make ambush attack then sloth bears are often able to make tigers to back off or at least stop approaching while bear goes away. Sloth bear is usually clearly smaller than tiger, so it´s in deep trouble if fight becomes serious.
I am a bit curious, how did figure like 70% come to your mind? Did you count as fights confrontations, in which other animal was intimidated without physical confrontation?
