Tigr

The bear is on average larger than the tiger in size, has a more powerful bite, and is more enduring in a long fight, but is inferior to the tiger in speed. Tigers usually attack first, because bears are slower and less aggressive. According to statistics, in about half of the cases, the conflict ends in the death of the bear. About a quarter of the fights end in the death of the tiger, and in another quarter of the cases the big cat simply runs away from the battlefield.

Fights between tigers and bears in nature happen quite often. Predators divide the prey, plus tigers generally have a habit of preying on rival predators as well. Against a big and seasoned bear, the tiger has not so many chances, the chances of a predator against young or old individuals are much better.

Nine subspecies of the tiger have been identified, of which only six have survived by the beginning of the XXI century.
