1 - Vadim Gorbatov 

I found the peintings of Vadim Gorbatov many years ago and posted the one with the bear and the tiger on the other forum. Here's it is:

2 - The book of J.W. Jankowski

I scanned pages 49 and 50. As they were long, I needed 3 scans for every page.

3 - Translation

I know it is a lot of work Wolverine, but it would be much appreciated if you could find the time to translate both pages. The reason is that many readers are unable to use the translator.

4 - Tiger Uporny

Thanks for the video. I didn't know that Uporny was largely eaten by his killer. It seems he was eaten from back to front. This, again, underlines that his killer was another tiger. I don't know why he didn't start with the boar, but I do know that Uporny was killed on a cold day. Maybe the boar was frozen.

During the mating season, fights between male tigers are common and fierce. At times, they are deadly. When one of the two is killed, his body often is mutilated by his killer. Every now and then, the winner also eats a part of his opponent. Cannibalism in big cats is not unusual.

The video shows that Uporny had grown significantly after his release. I think the tiger in this photograph is Uporny. It most probably was taken when he was much younger:
