/\Who is the author of the book and what is the title ? That’s a google way to find out if the book is real or fake 😊. King Kodiak says maybe "The Year of the Tiger" but not certain.

From a now-dead internet address: Black Bear – The black bear is known to prey on feral hogs of all ages; however, the impact of predation by this bear on feral hog populations is not known. Some researchers have speculated that black bears probably kill few if any feral hogs, especially given that an adult hog would represent a formidable adversary for a black bear. In fact, in the 1920s a feral boar in the Okefenokee Swamp was reported to have killed a black bear in a fight between the two animals. Similar accounts of feral boars killing bears during fights in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas were reported in the 1880s. Being opportunistic, black bears have been reported to raid nylon net live traps used for feral hog control at high elevations in the GSMNP to obtain any trapped hogs contained within these devices.

I think black bears seldom prey on wild hogs except the exceptionally large predatory ones. As said, wild hogs are dangerous foes for black bears. A grizzly bear is way more successful in taking down wild boars and hogs.

Here the tiger did well but the hunter interrupted in the end (I know this scene might be a movie but it shows a likely outcome when both animals meet).

Reply #105... Here the tiger did well but the hunter interrupted in the end (I know this scene might be a movie but it shows a likely outcome when both animals meet). Reply #106... This is not a case of Hollywood animals playing. I grew-up in the country. I know a little about hogs. The tiger and wild boar interaction here ( on this Russian movie ) is actual wildlife footage.

Reply #105, quote from that link:
Sounds to me like an ambush gone wrong.

Reply #110 - Video Title: "Wild Boar Attacking Brown Bear".... morons. A sow with piglets chases a mother brown bear with a juvenile bear still with her away from her babies. No big story here. No attack. Quote: Looks like tigers occasionally use skull bites. *Skull bites are not unique to jaguars. Jaguars use this method more commonly as they have very little large prey choices.

As I recall; you had found further evidence that a bear does better against a wild boar than does a tiger.

www.iloveindia.com/wildlife/indian-wild-animals/wild-boar/index.html Wild boar is considered to be the wild antecedent of the domestic pig of the Indian subcontinent. It belongs to the Suidae biological family, which also includes the Warthog and Bushpig of Africa, the Pygmy Hog of northern India and the Babirusa of Indonesia. Indian wild boars are also quite closely related to peccary or javelina of North, Central and South America. Physical Traits The thick coat of the wild boar of India is grayish-black in color and is covered with bristle-like hair. It can grow upto a length of 6 feet and may weigh as much as 440 lb (200 kg). The features of a wild boar are quite similar to that of a pig. It has a prominent ridge of hair, which match the spine. The tail is short and straight and the snout is quite narrow. The most noticeable as well as most distinguishing feature of the wild boars comprise of a pair of extended canines. These canines grow both upward as well as outward. Indian wild boars possess an acute sense of smell. Even their eyesight and hearing power is fairly strong. Wild boars can be found roaming around in groups, known as sounders. The number of sows, in a characteristic sounder, is two or three and rest of the members are the young ones. A typical sounder comprises of 20 animals on an average. In exceptional cases, the membership of a sounder may go upto 50 also. Adult males join a sounder only during the mating period and for the rest of the year they prefer to stay alone. Indian wild boars are basically nocturnal creatures, which forage from dusk to dawn. When surprised or attacked, they may get aggressive. Wild boars eat anything and everything, including nuts, berries, carrion, roots, tubers, refuse, insects, small reptiles, etc. Young deer and lambs may also form a part of their diet. Wild boar is found inhabiting the woodlands of Central Europe, Mediterranean Region (including North Africa's Atlas Mountains) and most of Asia (including India).

The average Indian wild boar and the average sloth bear are pretty-much at weight-parity.

Sloth bear and wild boar. I doubt this is much of a predatory event but more of a territorial one but I'm sure the bear wouldn't turn down an easy meal if it could catch one. This pretty-much answers the question of sloth bear vs Indian wild boar. I actually witnessed this via documentary. Wild boar fear the sloth bear.

A BOAR KILLS A BEAR IN A CANE BRAKE By S. C. Tumbo Occasionally a wild boar and a bear would meet when plenty of bear infested the upper White River country and a hard fight would ensue, the result of which either one or both of them would be slain. Away back when Arkansas was not a state Mike Yocum as we have said elsewhere settled in the river bottom just above the mouth of Shoal Creek. In what is now Boone County, Ark. This land was afterwards known as the Billy Holt place. Allin Trimble was Mike Yocum’s stepson and Trimble who was born in 1815 was a small boy when Mr. Yocum his stepfather lived in this bottom. One day in August, 1813, Mr. Trimble told me the following story about an encounter between a boar and bear that met in the cane in this bottom after Yocum settled here and engaged in a desperate fight leaving only one of the combatants alive. In this case it was not a wild boar that fought the bear, but a tame one. Mr. Trimble said that his stepfather owned a fine bunch of hogs which kept fat on the mast and vegetation in this bottom, but it was a serious task to prevent the wild beasts from destroying them. Among the bunch was a large male hog and a fine white sow, but my stepfather shot and killed the sow one day through mistake. He was passing through the cane toward the river bank when he noticed the glimpse of an animal following him. Thinking it was a panther he aimed his rifle at the object and pulled the trigger and a bullet crushed through the skull of the sow. Stepfather regretted that he never took time to find out what the animal was before he shot. Well, to the encounter between the boar and bear," said Mr. Trimble. "One day the hogs all came running to the yard fence except the boar. The hogs were in an uproar and had been disturbed by a wild beast which we supposed was a panther. We waited anxiously for the boar to put in an appearance. But the missing hog did not come up until two hours after the first ones had shown up. He was in a bad plight—was seriously wounded and covered with blood. He had been in a desperate combat with a wild beast and he was greatly angered and restless. We traced the back track of the boar through the cane to the spot where the encounter took place. A bear lay dead where the ferocious animals had struggled together. Cane, weeds, and paw paw bushes were mashed flat to the ground. Blood was sprinkled on the ground and foliage. The bear was mangled by the boar’s tusks almost beyond description. Deep gashes were cut and torn all over its body and legs. The greatest wounds were inflicted on its belly, breast behind the shoulders. It seemed that bruin was bent on fillin up on a mess of fresh pork but his attack on the bunch of swine was so stoutly resisted by the boar that his bearship was compelled to give up the feast and his life too," said Mr. Trimble. thelibrary.org/lochist/turnbo/V14/ST439.html
