I've been reading up on Siberian tigers, and it sounds like they'll eat baby bears, weak bears, or hibernating bears. But they'll stay away from large male bears.
I've also read that the large male bears will often follow a the much smaller female siberian tiger around, let it hunt, then steal its prey. Sounds like the much smaller female tiger is clever enough to yield to the much larger male bears.
fixed.
Predators would seldom attack a healthy, powerful prey out in the open, especially not cats.
That's true, when time's hard, they do scavenge off each other, but these brown bears would rarely contest the fully grown male siberian tigers.
Stop editing my posts and calling them fixed. A fully grown male brown bear is about twice as heavy as a fully grown male siberian tiger. Its muscle and bone density is much greater. It would have no problem ripping it apart.
The only chance the tiger has is if it's winter and the bear is hibernating.
