Reply #80, Angry Bear Chases Tiger in Tadoba Tiger Reserve, this event is from yesterday, this is gotten ridiculous already, absolutely every new sloth bear/Bengal tiger interaction has the tiger running away when its face to face. Just at page #4 we have 2 recent ones. The tigers want none of it. "Royal" bengal tiger my ass, more like "sissy ass" bengal tiger, ha ha ha ha.

So just like always, the tiger simply runs when it see the bear coming towards it. And the interesting fact is that the bear is smaller than the cat but still overpowers him. Just imagine a brown bear instead of the sloth bear. Bengal tigers are very cowardly, really. I agree, that he should not be called "Royal" tiger but instead "Coward" bengal tiger because the word coward explains his true nature, not royal.

"Additionally, sloth bear ears do not appear pulled back and laid back ears provides several interesting details. One photograph (Figure 1) clearly shows the heads of each animal during the most intense moments of the confrontation. The contrast is remarkable; while the tiger clearly has its ears pulled back, the sloth bear does not; in fact, the bear’s head appears larger than usual. The sloth bear’s shaggy head potentially conceals drawn-back ears, rendering them useless as a means for communicating stress. Additionally, it seems possible that the fur on the head makes the bear appear larger and thus more intimidating. Pulling back the ears would potentially make the head look smaller. Another tiger/sloth bear confrontation photographed by Julien Boulé shows a sloth bear aggressively squaring off with a tiger and holding its ground (Figure 2). Once again, the tiger’s ears are pulled back while the sloth bear’s are not.

This is what i learned from the above posts:-
1#. When sloth bears and tigers confront each other, so the tiger pulls back its ears showing hesitation and reluctance to fight and gives up mostly. Sloth bears do not pull back their ears meaning they are confident to fight with a tiger.
2#. When sloth bears encounter tigers, so the bears treat the tigers just like sloth bear fight with other sloth bears.
3#. The sloth bear's shaggy hairs are thought to be used as a natural tool for intimidation against tigers. When the attack tigers so they raise up on their hind legs and with the shaggy hair, they appear larger to the tiger which intimidates the cat.

Tiger kills sloth bear after a very long fight, meaning the tiger struggled to kill it.

/\ Tiger killing bear either in short or long fight is not a great thing since tigers have a huge size advantage over the bear. Its great for the bear who gave his stronger and larger LONG FIGHT despite of having size difference.

Here's what the naturalist Steve Backshall hast to say.
1:50 "It's hard to believe that these fluffy bears are more deadly than a tiger." 3:12 "They can even repel tigers and leopards."

Not an interaction, but this shows exactly how Bengal tigers attack basically every time.
British hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett (1957) :
He saw about twenty attacks, of which only one, that on a chital doe, involved a head-on charge. "The attacks in the other cases witnessed were made by the killers coming up from behind, or at an angle, and with a single spring or short rush getting hold of their victims with their claws, and then with a lighting-fast movement seizing them by the throat and bringing them to the ground."books.google.com.ar/books?id=KOVGHXfod0wC&pg=PA277&dq=ognev,

Yeah, but this book actually mentions the sex of the tiger unlike the reseachgate one.
