A bear is a better wrestler than a tiger, in a straight fight it will maintain the top position. A tiger has a greater bite force, (Pound for Pound), but the bear has a teeth that are designed for gripping and pulling.
'Ussuri Brown Bear vs. Siberian Tiger' Siberia: Ussuri Brown Bear: In the Siberian woodlands in wintertime, a Siberian tiger is feasting on his kill, and a large brown bear is roaming around, looking for one more meal before going into hibernation. The tiger then suddenly spots the bear.
The video shows the tiger spotting the bear and pursuing it through the trees. The bear and tiger then face each other and start to fight as one of the bear’s cubs looks on. The two roll around in the bush as they struggle. The tiger appears to be getting the better of the bear, catching her with his paws and biting at her body.
Siberian Tiger
The Siberian Tiger also is known as the Amur tiger. It is a tiger subspecies live in mainly the Sikhote alim mountain region with a small subpopulation in the location of southwest Primorye province in the Russian Far East. The Siberian tiger looks like red rusty or rusty yellow in color with narrow black transverse stripes. And then it projects in the Sikhote-Alin range from 178 to 208 cm in head and body length measured in a straight line with an average of 195 cm for males. And the female tiger is ranging from 167 to 182 cm with an average of 174 cm. They have a more potent chest with a range of 108cm that helps them quickly jump on the mountain. These all the measurements show that the present it’s longer than the African lion so if you compare Siberian tiger vs. African lion then the Siberian tiger easily wins the fight.
After a few tense minutes, the bear manages to stand its ground and fend off the attack from the full-size adult tiger. Filed under angry animals, animals, bears, india, tigers, 3/2/18 Share.
Polar Bear
The Polar Bear has also known as Ursus maritime and it native to the Arctic that is the apex predator within its range. It has thick blubber and fur that protects them from the cold. Its thick coat is empty and transparent, but that usually appears as white o cream-colored consequently providing the animal with active camouflage. And its skin is black in color that has covered by the thick fur.
And it has a short tail and small ears that contribute to reducing the heat loss, and it also has a small head and long tapered body that helps them to swim in the water without any issues. It is a semi-aquatic marine mammal that eats marine foods and ice foods for living their life. And it has adapted for life on a combination of Land Sea and ice. On the other hand, it is the largest species of all bears with a weight of 660 to 1,320 pounds.
Fight Between Siberian Tiger and Polar Bear
The polar bear and Siberian tigers similarly live in the same climate. The polar bear lives in the Arctic Area with lots of snow with a temperature range of 50 degrees and the Siberian tiger also lives in the Russian Far East where it is freezing with lots of snow in the temperature range of 48 degrees. But the polar bear is more than twice the tiger’s size, and of course, the tiger is faster and agiler but think about it.
This is a fair fight so the tiger can’t use ambush. So the polar bear could not catch the tiger as soon as because it’s agile, so it had to wait for the tiger to attract. The two animals are facing directly at each other of the tiger attacked head on it would fall right into the polar bear’s big paws and obtain its spine smashed.
The tiger’s only attack method then is to maneuver around the polar bear and jump on its back where it can’t reach over and grab it and kill the polar bear with a bite to the spinal column. So the tiger might have more of a chance of killing the bear.
Our analysis of this heated online discussion should decide the matter once and for all…
First, some background facts.
Both beasts are predators at the top of the food chain.
Both the Siberian tiger and the grizzly bear are the undisputed lords of their respective habitats. For the Amur (a.k.a. Siberian) tiger, it is the forests of the southern part of the Russian Far East; for the grizzly, it is predominantly North America. Consequently, these predators would never encounter each other naturally in the wild.
Nevertheless, we can still speculate with some degree of certainty, since two species of beardolive in the habitat of the Siberian tiger — the Himalayan and the brown bear, the latter being related to the North American grizzly, but even more aggressive and predatory. They are not fond of sharing food and territory with each other, but sometimes have to.

Tiger Vs Bear Who Would Win
Tigers prey on large animals: deer, moose, wild boars, and, yes, bears. The latter account for 5% of all main courses on the tiger menu (true, they are mostly Himalayan bears). On encountering an Amur tiger, a bear has one option to stay alive. “The only way to escape is to climb a tree,” Sergey Aramilev, biologist and head of the Amur Tiger Center, told Russia Beyond. Tigers are very reluctant tree-climbers. “Sometimes, the tiger simply waits for the bear to come down. Or, if the tree is soft (fir, for example) and the trunk is less than 20 cm in diameter, it can bite through it like a beaver and watch its prey fall to the ground,” says Aramilev .
A grizzly, however, would not be such a pushover.
Now for a SWOT analysis.
General profile
Both animals are natural killers with plenty of “murder weapons” at their disposal. The Siberian tiger is the largest predatory cat in the world, with a body length of 1.5-2 meters and weighing 180-300 kg. “In strength, it is unrivaled in the Russian Far East,”says the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). It thinks nothing of running at the average speed of a car on the highway — 80 km/h, and in snow at that.
An adult grizzly, like its subspecies, is far more massive and stronger than the Siberian tiger. It can reach 400, 500, sometimes 600 kg in weight. If it were to stand on its hind legs, it would be a walking mountain — 3.3 m!
Bite strength
The grizzly’s powerful jaw closes with a force of 1,250 PSI (pounds per square inch), while the tiger’s has a force of 950 PSI, which is still enough to bite through bone.
But the tiger’s teeth are longer and thinner, leaving deeper wounds that bleed longer.
Claws
This is an “important source of trauma” in the grizzly’s arsenal. Its claws are longer and sharper than those of a lion or polar bear, and can tear an enemy to shreds. Harrahs win loss statement.
They are not as sharp as the Siberian tiger’s, but factor in the crushing power of the blow itself, and that could be the end of it. Such a blow could simply snap a tiger in two. “The force of impact of the bear’s paws is so great that it could knock a 150-kg adult boar tens of meters through the air,” say wilderness medical experts.
Tigers are stealthy
They can move without making a sound, and ambush and attack from the most advantageous position from their perspective, and at the most unpredictable moment. “We have wandered about in its habitat for 25 years, getting close to it on occasion, and in all that time, we have heard a tiger roar fewer than five times. But once is enough, for its thunder chills the blood in one’s veins and leaves an impression that last a lifetime,”recallbiologists Yuri Dunishchenko and Alexander Kulikov.
Bears are resistant to wounds
Whereas the tiger clearly has the upper paw in terms of speed and agility, bears are the armored tanks of the animal world. All its arteries and trachea are protected by solid fat and muscle, and lie very deep. Bears have beenknownto continue fighting even when bullets have penetrated their lungs and liver.

So, now for the most crucial factor.
Siberian Tiger Vs Grizzly Bear
Battle tactics
Without a doubt, the first thing a threatened bear will do is to rear up to look as big as possible. Like in this clip:
It could be the last thing it ever does, or, preferably, it might just persuade the opposition to seek an alternative lunch.
The tiger has one aim in mind — to bite through the neck bone. All tiger expertshighlightthis as the most common kill technique: “It deftly makes its approach and with a single bite, the victim is rendered motionless. Do what you will, the victim is not going to recover.” But getting hold of the bear’s neck is not easy given the amount of fat and muscle, which is what makes this whole discussion never-ending — everything depends on the individual tiger and the individual bear.
Verdict
Tiger Vs Bearcats Football
“If a very large male bear fights a tigress or a small male, then the chances of victory will be equal or even slightly in favor of the bear,” says Aramilev.
But imagine two heavyweight rivals. Who would you put your money on? Naturalists, for their part, would back the tiger. But only for one reason — it isaccustomedto killing.
“It’s all about the difference in feeding patterns. Tigers feed only on meat, and only on the meat of animals they kill, which is why they have more developed hunting skills. It knows exactly where to bite in order to kill its victim, how and where to strike with its paw,” explains Aramilev. Bears, meanwhile, are mainly vegetarian (plant food and fish) and scavenging; they do not hunt regularly. “It could be said that bears have forgotten where to bite, that is, lost the requisite hunting skills,” he notes.
Siberian Tiger Vs Brown Bear
Timofey Bazhenov, zoologist and presenter of the TV programDikiy Mir(Wild World), offersthis opinion: “I am often asked: If a tiger met a brown bear in the taiga, who would win? As a rule, the tiger!”
