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.

I find both the following scenarios to be plausible...
Tiger encounters an unsuspecting bear (even a fairly large one though probably not MAX sized) then in stalking mode gets close enough to quickly apply throat bite in an act of predation.
Large bear encounters tiger (any size except perhaps MAX sized) even at kill site and dominates the tiger. The tiger at some point could flee. If it doesn't flee, it possibly could be killed.
Whether or not there are "verified accounts" of things occurring, I believe part of why we are here is simply to hypothesize possible outcomes in situations of interaction between competing species.
So even if there is "no evidence of male tigers displaced at kill sites." in my opinion, it probably has happened.
Can we tell how big cats are doing by the number of wild dogs in the area?
