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

[Matias]

Shouldn't this paragraph be included in your conclusions? 

Quote:Tigers and brown bears of equal strength, usually avoid serious fights with each other. However, fights do sometimes occur at kill-sites, where both the tiger and bear have been victorious in some cases. These fights can often result in infected and inflamed wounds, which can lead to the death of both predators

About large brown bears (= or + 500Kg), it would be possible to conclude in the affirmative that:

Quote:But overall, he says that the tiger is a more trained and accustomed killer. Every once in 10 days it kills big animals and does this every year. In his conclusion he says (the answer everyone's waiting for) therefore ....

"An adult male tiger will always kill any bear, but a tigress or young tiger can lose to a large male brown bear."

Or just in general terms? 


Thank you for your search for facts that enrich the debate. What remains in my thinking about this is that a unique/definitive answer has not yet been found, because the victory of the adult male tiger over an adult brown bear (or usurri) cannot be made unambiguous. Reply
