I have read all of Jim Corbett’s books (he hunted down and killed numerous, notorious, man eating tigers and leopards in India from the 1890s to 1930s. Some had killed over 400 people) and I recall in one of his books where he witnessed a huge Himalayan bear attack a tiger. The fight was fierce with the tiger raking his claws across the bears sensitive nose before retreating unscathed and leaping across a 20 foot wide ravine to escape the bear. Corbett had to shoot the furious bear when it spotted Corbett hiding in the brush and came after him when the tiger escaped.
Jim Corbett will forever be the man.
