There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Many animals follow the same trails. There are many examples of camera traps showing one species passing through the same spot, some just minutes apart. My point is, thought it happens, I don't think you can use those particular photos as an incident of displacement.

In the Russian Far East, male brown bears follow and displace tigresses with cubs every now and then. When a tigress with cubs loses a lot of kills for a prolonged period of time, she has to hunt much more often. In this period, her cubs can starve. If she isn't able to deliver, the bear could kill the cubs. When the cubs are young, the tigress can't leave.

Extortion sooner or later results in stress. After some months, tigress 'Rashel' complained about the bear. The rangers never heard a sound like that before. It had an effect in that the father of the cubs, tiger 'Ockharik', was seen some days later. In the video which was posted, it seemed like he was reassuring the tigress.

I don't know if he visited the bear after he saw the tigress. I also don't know if the rangers intervened (they contemplated hunting the bear). I do know the bear disappeared not long after the tigress had complained about him. 

The photographs don't prove that the bear displaced the tigress, but it was well-known that the bear had been following the tigress for quite some time when they were released. The distance between the tigress and the bear was about half an hour.

I had read about large male bears following and displacing tigresses with cubs, but never seen any photographs. The photographs posted show that the bear is both large and heavy, most probably at least 800 pounds.

Information about tigress 'Rashel' and the bear was posted in this thread in the last months of the previous year.

Can you tell us a bit more about the video? Anything known about the fate of the tigress and the bear?
