ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

Quote:Collared tigers offer biologists insight in the actual behaviour of tigers. A few years ago, those monitoring tiger 'Borya' discovered that he and a tigress he had met had hunted together. One of the animals they killed was an adult bear. I knew about tigers hunting together in India, but never read anything about a male and a female hunting bears together in the Russian Far East.

I don't think that the tiger 'Borya' and tigress were literally hunting adult bears together, I think that was just the wording of the report, thats confusing. According to first-hand info from Russian specialists, the juvenile tiger 'Borya' aka Boris, single-handedly hunted and killed an adult brown bear.


In the meantime, the authorities of the Oktyabrsky and Zavitinsky districts, knowing about Boris's movements, advise local residents not to take dogs with them into the forest, so as not to provoke the tiger. People are also forbidden to approach the remains of animals, as they can be Boris's prey. It is known for certain that he had a successful hunt for an adult brown bear.

Here's the first-hand report:

Tiger Boris remained on the territory of the Amur Region. He repeatedly made forays into the Jewish Autonomous Region, but regularly returned to the place of release. Hoofed prey was not a problem for him. Once a case of hunting an adult brown bear was recorded.
