Can a tiger kill a black bear?

Answer 1

A tiger could definitely have a chance to kill a black bear by bringing it down with its great hunting skills with not much injuries. Let's compare their weights first. Asian Black bears, like asiatic black bears, weigh from 400-880 pounds, while bengal tigers weigh from 570-620 pounds. It seems that the two creatures can be quite heavier than each other. Depending on the health and experiences of the two creatures, these two creatures would normally stay out of each other's territories. A large male sloth bear or a large male asiatic black bear can stand a chance against a bengal tiger since male black bears are seeming to kill tigers in their territories. Tigers usually can kill sloth bears and sometimes asiatic black bears in Asia, but not really grizzly bears. Siberian tigers, which weigh from 660- 700 pounds, are stronger and larger than russian black bears. Really huge black bears weigh around 800-880 pounds. They might defeat a siberian tiger. Against a brown bear, the siberian tiger might have a decent chance of winning. Overall tigers can kill black bears, but black bears can also kill tigers too.

Answer 2

A tiger could sometimes kill a black bear, take its territory, and eat it. Tigers sometimes attack asiatic black bears and sun bears for territories. Black bears sometimes attack tigers for territories or food as well.
