I have read where tigers do not consider bears as predator competition. Probably the omnivore bear even smells different than a pure-predator. Most sounds good but some questionable.

Nose for sure is important to every predator, especially for solitary animals without help of a pack or pride. Expelling was for me odd part  of that message from Krasnykh. Still it was also interesting because even if that was inaccurate expression, it raises question about brown bear population at that area. Are too many female bears been killed there reducing number of cubs? And if so, what is the reason... tigers? Poachers? Irresponsible legal hunting... I mean for instance in Finland hunting is legal, when officials give permission. But killing a mother bear with cubs is always illegal unless there is imminent threat to people for some reason. Stupid hunters can do a lot of damage if just shooting first bear on sight without making sure what is the situation.

Hopefully, what ever the situation is, it wouldn´t be result of poaching and/or stupid hunters. Reply
