*Among the biologists and other professional people who have knowledge of both bears and the big cats, there are very few who would choose the tiger in a face-to-face confrontation over a brown bear. Indeed, there are very few biologists, a miniscule percentage, who would wager on a tiger defeating a full-grown male brown bear in a face-off. Those few ( incredibly few) would have to possess very little knowledge about brown bears as well as a total lack of knowledge on the history between the two. The truth is, adult male Amur tiger vs adult male Ussuri brown bear is a total mismatch in favor of the bear. Historically, the big cats have done poorly when contested by bears.

Credits to King Kodiak - FRANK BUCK-animal trainer-favoring The grizzly bear over a tiger or a lion at similar weight. “They would be well matched in weight, the grizzly is much stronger than either a tiger or a lion” but either a tiger or a lion would have to get him in a hurry or lose the decision. And i dont think either could get him in a hurry"

Credits to King Kodiak - "IT IS SAID BY THOSE WHO KNOW THAT THE GRIZZLY BEAR IS STRONGER, MORE DANGEROUS, AND MORE TERRIBLE FIGHTER THAN ANY ANIMAL, UNLESS IT BE THE ELEPHANT. A FULL GROWN GRIZZLY COULD KILL A TIGER AND A LION IN A FAIR FIGHT.”

King Kodiak - "When accidents happen, when strange animals are placed together and a fight starts, always try to protect the weaker animal, regardless of his species. You will hear it said that a tiger can kill a lion, or vice versa. In my experience i have seen all theories exploded. Tigers have killed lions, lions have killed polar bears, a small leopard has killed a large tiger. usually a polar bear can kill any of the big cats, but i have seen a lion kill a polar bear", Louis Roth, forty years with jungle killers, page 204-205.

King Kodiak - THE GRIZZLY BEAR IS THE MOST TERRIBLE OF ALL BEASTS. ITS GREAT STRENGTH, ITS ENORMOUS SIZE, ITS FEROCITY AND ITS COURAGE RENDER IT A MORE FORMIDABLE ENEMY THAN THE LION. IT WILL NOT HESITATE TO ATTACK A BUFFALOES EVEN WHEN A WHOLE HEARD ARE TOGETHER. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/165891194?searchTerm=Bear

Montezuma - We missed this one by Sysoev, a Russian naturalist "Brown bears are the landlords of this forest and take up fights with tigers and become winners."

arctozilla - Here's the russian biologist Alex Kulikov stating that female brown bears are stronger than tigresses. Alex Kulikov - Environmentalists are searching for a female tiger called Troya, which was released from a wildlife rehabilitation centre. The tiger disappeared without trace in the Far Eastern taiga. Three months ago, Russian and American experts launched a unique experiment in Russia's Far East. Two young female tigers, Troya and Pakhomovna, were released from the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre Utes, at the foothills of the Sikhote-Alin Range in the Khabarovsk Region, following a lengthy treatment. Special radio-collars, which transfer information via a satellite to a radio centre, were attached to the two animals. However, soon the radio centre stopped receiving signals from Troya's collar. The ecologists organised helicopter rides over the taiga and hunting experts and rangers combed the area, from where the last signals were received, but no trace of the tiger has been found. Board Chairman of the Regional Wildlife Foundation and Doctor of Biology Alexander Kulikov told RIA Novosti that "most probably, Troya has become yet another victim of poachers." "Even if the tiger died in a fight with another stronger animal, e.g. a female brown bear, the collar would have shown where she died," Mr. Kulikov said. He stressed, "poachers possess technical means that might be superior to those of ecologists and hunting experts; they can intercept radio signals, calculate where an animal is going, and set up an ambush." The value of the fur, bones, and internal organs of a tiger is extortionately high on the black market. It is extremely hard to find the poachers. However, even when they are caught, they only end up paying fines and receiving a suspended sentence," Mr. Kulikov said. Chinese law provides strict penalties - up to death -- for the intentional killing of a tiger. "We do not even talk about such penalties here," the scientist stressed, "but we should, as it would than prevent people from killing and selling an animal who is listed in the World Endangered Species List." Mr. Kulikov also mentioned that five years ago 65 to 70 Amur tigers inhabited the forests of the Khabarovsk Region. Today there are less than 60. - See more at: www.pravdareport.com/news/society/09-11-2001/28806-0/#sthash.IbnVNr95.dpuf - www.researchgate.net/profile/Alex-Kulikov
