This is the dramatic moment a furious tiger battles an angry bear.
The violent face-off saw the adult tiger pin the sloth bear to the ground, clamping its jaws around the mammal’s neck.
The bear looks set to lose — until it manages to flip the big cat and charge at it, raising up onto its back legs.

Is that the one you meant to post?
I looked at the video. That looked like a small black bear, even so it held his own pretty well. If it had been one of our big Alaskan grizzlies, or brown bears...
Yes, in one of his books Corbett tells about a Himalayan Bear attacking a Tiger while it fed; he said it was a horrific fight with the bear chasing the tiger after the tiger swatted his nose splitting it in two. The bear was furious but the tiger leaped across a 20 foot wide river bank and escaped.
Whoever posted this as a “vicious fight” is a damn FOOL! There two are frolicking. They know each other! The tiger would’ve killed the bear within a few seconds. It’s rough play, but not even rough for these two. Another piece of BS by a snowflake city slicker.
Fox site hypes it as a violent battle. The bear may be serious because she has a cub nearby, but that tiger is just goofing off.
In Korean mythology, Dangun, a legendary ruler, is said to have descended from a bear that won a contest with a tiger.
I only know this because I was assigned to the 94th MP Battalion in Korea, and the unit crest featured a bear in recognition of the unit’s service during the Korean war :)
Is that a cub? It look almost equal in size?
Incredible!
Tank versus rogue, tank wins.
Shocking considering how massive the tiger’s front legs and shoulders are.
WTF was that??????......Sheesh
Those aren’t full grown black bears, they’re half grown cubs.......Nevertheless, the bear got lucky and learned a lesson on how to fight.
Weird stuff fighting other weird stuff.
It was good though. Right?
They Might Be Giants.
Put a little birdhouse in your soul.
Feed a sparrow in yours........
My apologies. I assume everyone has experienced everything I have and therefore knows everything I know and can relate to it.

The bear in the fight kept looking over his shoulder at the start of the video as if to say to the other bear, “Feel free to jump in here any time, Buddy. “
