Tadoba. Tiger Vls Sloth Bear.

It was the rarest moment witnessed by me on 28th February 2018 at Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (Kolara Gate). Tiger & Sloth Bear are extremely uncomfortable when they see each other. Here a mother bear accidentally came to water hole with one of her cub and she didn't noticed the apex predator of forest was already stalking her. It has been rarely observed by any one in the wild, it might have happened before in other forest but during tourism time was rare to see. Mother bear are very ferocious when with cubs and it is clear from the above video where dominant male tiger was seen more defensive and for mother bear was donor die situation. But all ended well none of them were killed in fight at the end, sloth bear managed to escape but was quite injured. That's the nature...

Tigers being solitary hunters can't risk and try to avoid injury as much as possible

[@arpitparekh9351]

True.

[@hamdanjantan3462]

Tiger : " Why are you keep avoiding me" Sloth bear : " How many times did i tell you. I am married already. Besides, we are from different species. Stop persuing me" Tiger : " But i still love you"

[@fungames24]

With these two appearing in multiple videos, I would say they are friends.

[@VijayKumar-yt3sg]

An experienced tiger will kill a sloth bear.. this is not a full grown tiger or just started its solitary life.. machli the famous tiger killed a 14 foot croc..

[@harrikuusjarvi3795]

Tiger can not kill adult male Sloth. If they try they are dead. Sloth Bears claws are almost as big as Brown Bear claws. Also Tiger has no stamina to challange Sloth. They can only hunt small ones. For Tigers sake its good that Sloths are vegeterians.

The tiger here, Matkasur, was a 7-year-old male at the time.

@Ross Wind,the Tiger is small,so the Sloth bear escaped but with an adult Tiger ,that bear will die in 30 seconds..

[@soramirez5473]

tiger is still bigger than that sloth bear.. if the tiger ambushed the bear, perhaps he would have killed it.. but that is a whats if.. what we DO KNOW is that this little bear chased away a little tiger.. if it was a bigger bear, than the outcome would still b the same..

[@lordofthelords4168]

Or may be bear will kill that coward in 30 sec.

[@soramirez5473]

@LeopardFuckupLionesses s yes. and i agree that a sloth bear probably cant kill a tiger or leopard, even a male sloth bear, but not because it is not powerful enough.. I think the big cats simply could avoid it. leopards and tigers do prey on all types of bears, even brown bears in siberia.. but they predate on young or females, or sick or old bears, and in an ambush attack.. Cats are not built to simply walk up to another large animal and kill it. They are built like stealth assassins, ambush killers.. not for long drawn out fights, as their stamina is not made for that. Bears however have A LOT of stamina and are more heavily built, so in a head on confrontation, even a smaller bear could chase off (not kill) a larger cat. like you said, the cats don't want to endure an injury as it will prevent them from killing in the best way they know how.. stealth, and a quick burst for the kill.. Glad we agree

[@xismxist]

@Leopard Owns Lions can you show me ONE video of a tiger killing sloth bear? im sure no such thing exist

[@soramirez5473]

@Leopard Owns Lions I've searched for video's.. Haven't seen anything to support your claim.. if a 300 lbs sloth bear can chase and fight a 400 lbs tiger off, then I'm a sure a 500 lbs plus bear can do the same.. I've read tigers won't even ATTEMPT to predate on bears above 600 lbs! they won't even try while the bears are hibernating.. now no video to support what I'm saying, just articles.. however, its obvious bears are too much for tigers.. obvious for everybody, except for cat fans.. feline fans. tiger fans.. lion fans.. I love the jaguar too.. but a 400 lbs or more American black bear has nothing to fear from a 300 lbs jaguar.. that's nature.. show me videos to prove me wrong.. PLEASE.. I'm begging you!

[@thebabbler8867]

In the full video, the tiger mauled it. That's why the bear is limping.

[@arpitparekh9351]

J.R. Productions Bear was quite injured. Actually it was not limping but they walk that way only. Tiger had grabbed her from neck and was injure from face to Neck.

[@soramirez5473]

and yet the bear STILL BACKED THE TIGER UP..

[@arpitparekh9351]

@J P Yes, Due to scarcity of water in summer this happened.

Tiger was just playing

[@BundyFan100]

And with that playful spirit, our mighty tiger came away with a few injuries, one of which caused him to limp for a few days. A game as fun and harmless as setting off fireworks near an oil refinery or playing Russian *r o u l e t t e,* I would say...

[@zrbbg9639]

Relax, you are all being biased so let me correct your misinformation. First of all tigers are relatively new to Africa. Sloth bears are smaller species of bears but still, they are bears. Also what do lion fans have to do anything with this? When tigers come close to the sloth bear, it's usually because they are curious, and yes they sometimes fight, because of tiger's nature and sloth bear's aggressiveness but tigers are nothing short of cowards. Both in Asia and Africa you can see them hunting for crocodiles solo while in water, successfully. Whereas lions don't like swimming and even in packs don't engage crocs directly. That doesn't mean that lions are cowards, they are just bad at swimming and therefore lack confidence. Anyway, usually when tigers actually try to attack sloth bears, they prove to be too much of a challenge. Sloth bears are good at wrestling, aggressive and aren't their usual prey, unlike big herbivores animals or crocs. And that's all there is to it.

[@greatdhruv8145]

Hahahahaha.... We have also lions in India... They are super cowards even they found dead many times as they killed by Indian deers...

[@rosswind4837]

TIGER IS NOT KNOWN FOR HIS COURAGE MORE FOR HIS COWARDNESS. Tigers are not lions. They only hunt what is safe. Tigers rarely do frontal attacks they are rear and side attackers. All the bear had to do is watch his back. So when people brag about tigers killing mature bears. It would be a rear attack. If tiger confront face to face with a mature sloth bear, most of the time tiger will retreat and often bear will run after him. Tigers have size advantage, agility, longs fangs and claws. The slower and small sloth bears have only one weapon long sharp claws but are far more aggressive.
