And on two occasions I have seen bears walk up to feeding leopards and,
after shooing them off, carry kills away. But on this occasion the tiger
and a big male at that was present on his kill and,
further, he was not an animal to be shooed away like a leopard.
But that was just what the bear appeared to intend doing, and his opportunity
came when the tiger was cracking a bone. Whether the bear had been waiting for
this moment I do not know; anyway, while the tiger was crunching the bone,
the bear drew himself to the edge and, gathering his feet under him,
launched himself into the hole with a mighty scream.
The object of the scream I imagine was to intimidate the tiger, but so far from
having this effect it appeared to infuriate him, for the bear’s mighty scream
was answered by an even mightier roar from the tiger.
Fights in the wild are very rare and this is only the second case
I know of different species of animals fighting for the sake of fighting
and not for the purpose of one using the other as food. I did not see the fight,
for the reasons I have given, but I heard every detail of it. Waged in a hollow of
restricted area the sound was terrifying and I was thankful that
the fight was a straight one between two contestants who were capable of
defending themselves, and not a three-cornered one in which I was involved.
Time stands still when every drop of blood racing through a rapidly beating heart
is tingling with excitement. The fight may have lasted three minutes, or it may
have lasted longer. Anyway, when the tiger considered he had administered sufficient
chastisement he broke off the engagement and came along the open ground in front
me at a fast gallop, closely followed by the still screaming bear.

私が見た二つの事例は、黒熊らが豹らをシッシと追い払い獲物を奪ったものだ。
しかし、今回は、大きな雄のベンガル虎が獲物の側にいる。
さらに、虎は豹のように軽く追い払われるような存在ではない。
豹はともかく虎は非常に恐ろしい。しかし、
大型のベンガル虎と大型の黒熊との激しい戦闘が約3分間続き、トラが獲物を
奪われた。
大型のクロクマなんてたかが知れてる、所詮はクロクマだよ
自然界だと、こいつに大型のベンガル虎は獲物を横取りされるんだからちょっと情けないよな
北海道には>>247みたいな300kgのヒグマや>>246の400kgさらに500kgオーバーも普通にいる
どう考えてもヤバいだろ
