Depends on the age, and sex of either species. Bengal tigers are stronger hunters, while male sloth bears are more defensive in territories. So it's possible they could be similar as far as strength is concerned.

It's highly likely that it may be able to kill both, but in most cases would rather kill deer and wild pigs than prey on bears.

Who would win in a fight between a sloth bear and a lion?

Possibly the sloth bear. The sloth bear has more muscles and the same weight as a bengal tiger, while the bengal tiger is a stronger hunter than a sloth bear. With a couple of swipes from the sloth bear's claws, it could kill a bengal tiger. Sloth bears usually kill tigers for territory and safety kill sun bears.


Can a sun bear or a sloth bear kill a tiger?

A large male sloth bear can kill a male bengal tiger and steal its territory. Sloth bears have been known to steal prey from tigers, dholes, and leopards. They can be very defensive and very territorial, and aggressive as the sun bear. The tiger would usually go behind the sloth bear for an ambush kill rather than face to face. A sun bear can possibly kill a bengal tiger since it is so aggressive and fierce along with those big claws and teeth. But it is more likely to scare and chase off the male bengal tiger.

Who would win tiger or sloth bear?

In a battle between a tiger and a sloth bear, the tiger would have the advantage due to its size, strength, and agility.

Do sloth bears eat tigers?

Bengal and sumatran tigers do kill sloth bears on some occasions and sometimes feed on them. There has been videos recorded on a bengal tiger preying on a very big boar sloth bear. On some occasions, however, an adult boar sloth bear can defend itself quite well from a tiger since sloth bears can be very fierce and very defensive, showing their giant claws when standing upright and raising their fury hair on their heads. They can even steal prey from big male leopards or chase them all the way up to the trees.

Are wolves smarter than tigers?

A tiger would be larger and heavier than a sun bear, panda, and sloth bear. A siberian tiger is quite bigger than an asiatic black bear, and an american black bear in length and slightly by weight. Bengal tigers can be slightly bigger than an asiatic black bear or same, but they are smaller than american black bears by 100 pounds. Brown bears, grizzly bears, and polar bears will always be much larger and stronger than any tiger.

Who would win a fight if black bear and Bengal tiger fought?

Depends on the experiences and age of each animal. A bengal tiger would usually beat an asiatic black bear in a combat, but an american black bear would stand more of a chance. American black bears are bigger in size compared with asiatic black bears, and a very big male can come across a small female brown bear, in which siberian tigers prey on. Asiatic black bears can weigh in size from 150 pounds to 440 pounds. American black bears are 200 pounds to 650 pounds. Bengal tigers weigh 450 pounds to 620 pounds. Even though the american black bear and the bengal tiger lives in different continents, the weight and size of the american black bear over a bengal tiger would make the american black bear dominate over the bengal tiger.
