the bear can kill the tiger with his claws so his head can stay at a save distance and the tiger has to use his teeth for the kill so he has to expose his head

they're my favorite things

centipedes are brutal

Tigers can tackle bears larger than themselves, using an ambushing tactic and jumping onto the bear from an overhead position, grabbing it by the chin with one fore paw and by the throat with the other, and then killing it with a bite in the spinal column.

BTW same size are we talking weight or length?

This may come as a surprise

but

Ok, I should have specified that this is a 'fair' fight with neither getting a jump on the other.

Same weight.

I'm more of a goose person

Hahaha

Tiger and bear vs goose?

of the same size

Geese are pathetically harmless lol

tiny bear or giant goose?

A goose-sized chicken would murder a goose

I was told their wings can break a childs arm

but maybe parents say that to keep u away from the water

havent tried it

I'm sure they could knock some people out it they clock you in the right spot

unlikely though

My Toulouse female is far stronger than my Chinese gander

Ussuri brown bears, along with the smaller Asian black bears constitute 2.1% of the Siberian tiger's annual diet

dang

I believe it

if they are the same weight the bear would be smaller I think. But I would still say that the bear has the upper hand if the tiger has to attack head on, thats just not how they hunt. that being said I dont know how much smaller the bear would be. If its small enough the Tiger would win of course.

"In the same time period, four cases of brown bears killing female and young tigers were reported, both in disputes over prey and in self-defense."

so bears defenitively have a shot

those fights must be epic

In the Sikhote-Alin reserve, 35% of tiger kills were stolen by bears, with tigers either departing entirely or leaving part of the kill for the bear.[59] Some studies show that bears frequently track down tigers to usurp their kills, with occasional fatal outcomes for the tiger.

so the tigers dont seem to like their chances when the bear confronts them head on but nothing about their sizes again

I give a head-on fight to the bear but any ambush goes to the tiger.

I'd give head on a flight if I got a bear out of the deal

There's a breed of dogs that can take in bears, so the whole debate is kinda moot...

pic or not true

They're called nuns that take in fat hairy priests

¿Why the fuck am I gonna waste your time with a clearly photoshopped pic?
Nah... Let's go to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMgFoNuheWE?t=53s You can rewind if you want.
My own comments on the video: *They've got it all... Mass (I've seen smaller horses), great disposition (might sit on a kid though, or drown them with that tongue), they can be trained to attack if needed (we saw one being so trained)... ¿How do I get a pack of 6?*

This is what the dewey decimal system looks like when it destroys families.

And it always does

@Mandatory Carry I doubt these dogs could take on a fully grown bear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6r81UOzIHg Look at these things they are just mountains of muscle.

Put on mortal combat theme in the background to make it more epic
