There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The Syrian, which is quite endangered at present, is among the smallest of living brown bears. However, I saw one about four years ago at "Tiger World" in North Carolina named Brutus that is a very large bear; my estimation about 500 pounds.

Indeed and most predation on bears by big cats , current and historic, is mainly on smaller bears, smaller species, smaller individuals, and younger ones...tigers , leopards, snow leopards, pumas, historically lions, and possibly jaguars all comfortably handle ursids smaller than themselves, and more often than not of equal size to them.
Big males and even oversized female bears are practically immune to predation.
