For the most part, grizzlies ( Amur brown bears ) stalked and killed by tigers ( both male and female ) are juveniles or sub-adults normally at least one hundred pounds less in weight than the tiger. But there has been some recorded incidents of tigers killing mature she-bears of weight-parity. These events have proven to be no easy kills for the tigers involved. It is possible that sometimes the tiger simply misjudges the size of the bear.
A comparison of the Amur tigress and the Amur ( black grizzly ) she-bear - Average Sized Animals:
Tiger: head and body length - 172 cm ( 5 feet 8 inches ) - Grizzly: head and body length - 160 cm ( 5 feet 3 inches ).
Tiger: shoulder height - 78 cm ( 2 feet 8 inches ) - Grizzly: shoulder height - 96 cm ( 3 feet 2 inches ).
Tiger: weight - 137.5 kg ( 303 pounds ) - Grizzly: weight - 189 kg ( 417 pounds ).
*Average mature male Amur tiger and average mature female Amur grizzly = 189 kg ( 417 pounds ) each - the bear is 35.56 cm ( 14 inches ) shorter in head and body length.
