The relationship between the Ussuri brown bear and the Siberian tiger is no different to the cave bears relationship with the cave lion. Different hunting strategy, but similarities. Neither the Amur tiger nor the cave lion ( according to evidence ) has ever ambushed an adult male brown bear or cave bear. It it thought by some that the lions were actually looking for the cubs.  Some females have been killed but I believe that cubs were the primary target. |

Reply #61 - Both pictures portray the bear pushing back the tiger. I can imagine, the tiger killed the deer and the bear came to usurp his food. |

I am a firm believer that only a desperate tiger, whose only options are to fight or face starvation, might stand his ground and fight a full-grown male Ussuri brown bear. However, even under these stressful conditions, maybe not.  |

Looks like a brown bear is kleptoparasiting over a tiger's kill. The tiger looks to be escaping rather than fighting back. |

OldGreenGrolar posted: "An interesting painting of Chlamid and Ochkarik" *Actually an extremely unrealisted picture of those two predators that never fought each other. First of all, who is the artist and is this actually his take on that unconfirmed story? No fully adult male tiger is going to charge towards a full-grown male brown bear when he could just as easily retreat. This drawing is pure fantasy.  |
