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.

I would have some high-dollar camera's set in trees surrounding a carefully selected location. In the center of a small clearing in the taiga, a big dead cow ( or bull ). All of this would be set-up by highly skilled professionals in a location known to be the domain of both tigers and brown bears. Then wait....
Hopefully the money spent is not a complete waste of time. We just might see for the first-ever grizzly meets tiger caught on camera. If only...
The only way that such a meeting will ever be caught on camera is to arrange a meeting as in my idea. To just happen to stumble upon such a meeting is simply not going to happen - ever.
That would work most probably in time. But then again my opinion is, that because these animals are known to fight to even death time to times.... I would oppose such thing a lot, that would be in a way as circus, made just to give entertainment to people, not for the good of the animals. That is done in Finland as I have shown in other threads, but here we have bears, wolves and wolverines mainly visiting those carcasses and those animals don´t fight to death on carcasses, even though some minor conflicts. But pretty much never putting any of these animals in danger.
Tigers and bears are both so dominant, that when "wrong" individuals meeting on carcass.... Even though those confrontations happen in wildlife, it is nicer when it happens in.... natural way. It would be different thing if purpose to leave carcasses would be for instance a very harsh winter and for some reason starvation threatening tigers. Then again at such time no bears there. But anyway reason to leave carcasses should be only situation, where starvation threatening these animals for some reason at some time period. Not to get footage about confrontations.
