The camera-trapping behaviour of adult Amur-Ussuri brown bear males reacting aggressively to sign of Amur tiger presence is understandable given their significantly larger size, strength and power on average even with respect of adult Amur tiger males, while it is hardly justifiable how a solitary relatively small animal such a sloth bear can dare on occasions to clearly deliberately challenge even a large resident male Bengal tiger behaving in such a way to more then likely peacing him off quite a lot.
