Tiger Predation

[AfricanLeo10]

Himalayan black bear killed by tiger

The enemies of the Himalayan bears in the reserve are the tiger and the brown bear. The tiger preys on them year-round: excrement with the remains of Himalayan bears is found at any time of the year, and individuals of all ages become victims. Due to the lack of suitable hollows, some Himalayan bears are forced to winter in land dens, where they become easy prey for the tiger. So, in January 2000, on the right bank of the Geologovsky stream (the left tributary of the Polovinka River), a male tiger killed a Himalayan bear wintering in a land den. A little later, a tigress joined the tiger meal, catching up with him on the trail. They dragged the remains of the bear to different places located at a distance of 200, 120 and 80 m from each other.
