Question for Peter

In spite of the three accounts in V. Mazak's book and the one mentioned by Rakov, todays biologists agree there is no record of a male brown bear killed by a male Amur tiger. Based on what I read, I understand. Biologists need more than a brief general description in order to accept an incident as confirmed. A firsthand account would be perfect, but there's no peerr-reviewed document with reliable information of a male brown bear killed by a tiger. Not in the last decades anyway. As a scientist, I agree: the threshold wasn't met. As a poster, I disagree. The lack of incidents in the last decades, to be sure, underlines serious encounters between male Amur tigers and male Ussuri brown bears have to be regarded as something our of the ordinary.  

By the way. I edited my previous post, so read it again. There is more on male brown bears and male Amur tigers in the tiger extinction thread. In some time, I will post more.

In my previous post, I asked if you would be able to provide a link to the post of Warsaw on Jankowski's publication. The question is repeated here. See what you can do. Thanks in advance. Reply
