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

[Apex Titan]

Here is further confirmation from Russian biologist Mikhail Krechmar and the Amur Tiger Center, about the tiger killing the large male brown bear in the Khekhtsir reserve.

The Amur Tiger Center also confirmed this account, and also added that tigers, in general, often hunt bears. Himalayan bears are killed more often, but brown bears are also taken:

A bear poster from Carnivora also contacted Mikhail Krechmar (Bear specialist & hunting biologist) about this incident. Even Mikhail Krechmar accepts this case.

Both Sergey Kolchin (leading expert on tigers and bears in Russia) and Krechmar believe and accept this account to be confirmed.

Krechmar also stated that the tiger confidently crushes even large black bears. Confirming what biologist Sergey Kolchin told me, that even large male black bears (weighing 200+kg and body length of 2 meters), also fall prey to tigers.

Krechmar was also asked if it was a "very large bear" killed, and he said - "Yes, healthy."  So Krechmar agrees that the bear was 'very large' and 'healthy.'  Which also confirms all the information I posted about this incident.

So the largest bear ever confirmed to have been killed by a tiger, is a large adult male brown bear (of impressive size, palm callus width - 18 cm) slaughtered by a smaller tiger (paw print 10-11 cm) in a fight. Which finally destroys the big myth of adult male brown bears being "immune" to tiger predation.

The case of the tiger 'Odyr' killing the large male brown bear in a fight, was again mentioned in a recent article. - January 9, 2023

"This thunderstorm of the taiga once even fought with a bear and emerged victorious from the fight. It is worth noting that tigers have no natural enemies, so the Himalayan bears have almost no chance of confronting them in the fight for territory."
