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.
