Big cat and Bear tale

[Olga.bohai]

Hello to all wildlife lovers!

I have new interesting info for you. Yesterday I had a dinner with the scientists from Leopard Land National Park and asked them a question about tigers and bears. And I was very surprised that they agree with my assumption that tigers expelled brown bears. There is no official confirmation because for nowadays we have not much records about animals population in our territory, people came here only 100 years ago, the reserves were launched in the middle of XX century, they started to use camera traps in 2010s and nobody can tell us how many tigers and bears were here before. The main reason why there are more black bears than brown bears that black bears can climb trees and save theirselves from tigers who can’t climb the trees because of their weight. Brown bears can’t climb the trees on the same reason. Tigers kill a lot of brown bears cubs, that’s why their population is much less than in Kamchatka and other Russian regions. That’s what our scientists say. Hope this information will be interesting for you.
P.S. I am now with tourists in Amur Leopards watching tour, they are waiting in the hide in taiga for the leopard comes out for his bait. We’ve already got records on camera traps that he came thrice for one night, I will send it later on the forum when I come back home with good internet access. Reply
