Big cat and Bear tale

[GreenGrolar]

Where bear and big cat exist, the former is listed in the section called 'prey'. Bears (including the smaller asian bears like Asiatic black bears and sloth bears), however, are generally given a wide breathe. The reason why there are more accounts of tigers killing Ussuri brown bears compared to vice versa is because the tigers are the ones to select which bear to hunt. Siberian tigers can kill Ussuri brown bears which would be close to their weight (adult females or even shantun male bears - which are old and emaciated) yet a healthy male Ussuri brown bear is immune to tiger predation. In fact, healthy male brown bears usurp tigers of the kills and are in fact the strongest in their territories. They even put their claw marks on areas where tigers mark territories to show their dominance. Reply
