Biologist and project leader (The siberian tiger project) https://russia.wcs.org/en-us/about-us/staff/projectid/407.aspx “Tigers are stalk and ambush predators. That means they use a surprise attack to catch their prey. A tigers' feet are padded, which helps them silently sneak up on the prey they hunt. " “ Large bears cannot only eat up remains after tigers, but also chase them off their prey or join the fight (Sysoev, 1966, Kucherenko, 1971, Kostoglod, 1976, Seryodkin et al., 2005a). In the snow period some bears purposely track tigers and lynxes to find the remains or take away their prey (Kostoglod, 1976, Seryodkin et al., 2012). “Brown bears can be aggressive towards the predators (other bears, tigers) and people approaching their prey or carrion.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S207815201630027X# |
