"They are the largest cats in the world, with males reaching almost 11ft from nose to tail and weighing up to 670lb. Bears form a significant part of their diet. "
That they would kill a bear if they had to, is believeable, but to have them as part of their regular diet would seem unlikely. The bear is no 'walkover' and need only to inflict an injury for the tiger to be disabled or suffer a slow and painful death from poisoning. The videos on YouTube on the subject are a waste of time looking.
A beautiful and powerful animal.
