Felids Interactions - Interspecific Conflicts

What comes to that tiger possibly killed by a sloth bear. I have time to time tried to find final conclusion by officials, but not yet found it. So for me that is still an open question what killed that tiger. It was said to have been a very big male sloth bear, which was seen there. So unless proven otherwise, it can´t be ruled out to have been the killer of that tiger, imo. Hopefully someone finds more information one day.

Then this tiger P212, it was easier to find some articles. Interesting to see differences in stories :)

This one again talks about one dog and multiple bites. Still majority of articles mention one bite. But what makes this next article interesting is, that in it is said, that this was second time in short period when this tiger P212 was treated by humans. It´s told, that before this incident in Spetember 2013 it was treated in April 2013 with a 2 and half hour surgery to treat a wound it sustained while making a kill. Hopefully, if true, it has made it from subadult to adult though.

Eventhough this person, who wrote this article talks about cub abd baby, this tiger was in age in which it has to make it alone or die. Not quite a baby anymore even though not an adult :)

But this case seems to be confirmed now, that no pack of dogs. One dog and unlucky tiger, that it was a rabid dog. Reply
