About Suyash
Expertise
I can help with interspecies conflict questions regarding carnivorous vertebrate animals. Also I can answer questions regarding ecological role of various mammals. You can also ask me questions about tigers and their current situation in tiger reserves. No questions about domestic animals please. I am only an expert with wild mammals.

Experience
I'm currently studing animal biology. I've been researching 'Interspecies conflict' from a long time. I've read alot of books on wildlife,also I've been visiting a native zoological park from quite a few years to study the behaviour of animals there.

Question
Hi Suyash!

Can u tell me which is the animal the tiger fears to go on face to face (whether Carnivore or Herbivore)

1) Harpy vs Chimp

2) 15 Dholes vs 10 spotted Hyenas

3) Golden Eagle vs African Caracal

4) which animal preys on Eagle!!!

5) Suppose if we put Polar bear in Siberia what will be the result when it will come face to face with Siberian Tiger will the Tiger Population Suffer or will the Tiger prey on this Ice Giant.

6) If the tiger is Very Hungry & nearby an Large Asiatic lion is enjoying the meal & nearby a Large Saltwater Crocodile is have a good meal too in water whwere will the tiger focus & what will be the result!!!!

Answer
Hello Siddharth,

1) Tiger would fear going face to face with an aggressive elephant. All other animals, even rhinos and crocs have known to fall prey to tigers, especially crocs haven't been known to successfully cope with bengal tigers.

2) Harpy vs chimp- Chimp is too large to take on for the harpy.

3) Golden eagle can probably kill a carcal, however I doubt if it would try, caracals are quite aggressive and ver agile creatures.

4) Eagles can occasionally fall prey to other eagles, or other larger raptor.

5) Both would coexist successfully, however there would be confrontations.

6) If the saltie is in water, the tiger owuld rather like to fight-off the lion. I have told you many times now that asiatic lions aren't that much of a match for bengal tigers, and its now upto you.....:)

I hope this helps.
