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

I did read a book titled: ~~Notes of an East Siberian Hunter by A.A. Cherkassov - 1865.  I was surprised that the tiger is hardly mentioned at all throughout the book. I can only assume that tigers were rare even in those days in the areas where Cherkassov hunted. However, I did enjoy the book.
That is one huge Asiatic black bear pictured! 
Peter says: In this respect, bears and tigers could compare to lions, tigers, fights and all the rest of it. It's these topics that can result in animosity and destruction.
I very strongly agree; wildfact is on the right track, and I wouldn't wish to push this site off track. What I am interested in is "the natural order of things" in the Siberian taiga in reference to the brown bear and the tiger. Such questions as "the size, sex, and age range of brown bears hunted by tigers" and "what really happens when a mature male brown bear challenges a tiger over a carcass"?
The wolverine has been known to chase a mature grizzly from a kill, in both North America and in Eurasia. Even the determined cougar has been known to defend a carcass from a grizzly on occasion. Sometimes the truth hurts, but I am seeking the truth.
