The tiger, which we are all familiar with is known as the king of the forest, is a member of the feline family - subfamily Panthera - under the genus Panthera, which belongs to a kind of big cat. It is well known that there are 9 subspecies of tigers*** worldwide, which have emerged as a result of moving towards different living environments in the course of their development, and if the subspecies continue to separate from each other for a long time, there is a possibility that they will eventually become different species.

The tiger subspecies currently distributed within the scope of our country are: Indochinese tiger, Bengal tiger, northeastern tiger and South China tiger, of which the South China tiger used to be the endemic tiger subspecies in China, but due to the experience of a period of catastrophe, the South China tiger has been extinct in the wild at present, and only exists in the domestic zoo of some of the South China tiger breeding individuals.

Besides the extinct ones, the largest of the nine tiger subspecies is the northeastern tiger, followed by the Bengal tiger, and there is a great deal of crossover between the tiger and the wild boar as the king of the forest, for example, the northeastern tiger's main source of food is the wild boar.

Early scientists counted the number of wild Northeast tigers in Changbai Mountain, and sometimes they had to rely on wild boars, because there was no monitoring equipment in the wild during that period, and the Northeast tiger's whereabouts were relatively hidden, so it was difficult to count. So it was changed to a different way, scientists counted the number of wild boar populations in a fixed area of the region, about 30-50 wild boar herds can feed an adult northeastern tiger, so it can be said that the wild boars are hard to beat the tigers.

In the countryside there is such a proverb: a pig, two bears, three tigers, of course, this proverb does not refer to the real PK situation of these three animals, the normal order of speaking should be tigers and bears and wild boars. For example, some time ago in Xiaoxinganling, the evidence of tigers eating bears, according to the description of the witnesses, saw the bear abdomen and the front part of the neck were all eaten by the tigers, and the meat is still hot.

While it has long been believed that tigers can defeat bears, there is no definitive proof, and today this evidence was discovered for the first time. It is often said in the countryside that one pig, two bears and three tigers refer to the level of threat to human safety, and an angry wild boar is a greater threat to people than bears or tigers.

But the round of fighting, or the northeast tiger comprehensive quality is higher, first of all, the feline hunting ability is very strong, including aggressiveness, flexibility. Especially in the face of wild boar this kind of no brain only rely on brute force species, their means of attack is probably only "savage collision", if hit the prey, then there is no doubt that will cause serious injuries or even death, because the boar's strength is very large running speed, hit the prey's body is naturally skin and flesh, the bones will be directly hit and broken.

But the tiger, as a top feline, will not stand there waiting for the wild boar to attack, and cats are very flexible, so it's hard for a wild boar to hit a tiger in diameter. But the boar, especially the male boar, when provoked will "blood pressure rise", become very impulsive, which will quickly consume their own physical strength, which means that the fight with the tiger may soon be found in the opportunity to overturn, and then the tiger directly lock the throat to complete the hunt.

Tigers and most top predators have the **** same characteristics, that is, the nature of caution, will rarely take the initiative to provoke other large animals, especially like the kind of big kilograms of wild boar, when they protect their own pig baby, as if they were crazy rushed to the intruder. But after all, as omnivores, wild boars really aren't much of a threat to tigers.

The wild boar belongs to the medium-sized mammals, the weight is generally in the 90-200 kilograms or so, the length of the body in 1.5-2 meters, living in the Russian Far East, the largest wild boar has more than 400 kilograms, but as long as it is in the territory of the northeast tiger, it is one of the food sources of the northeast tiger. Therefore, even if the boar is very large, but still can not cause harm to the tiger, the tiger this kind of top predator is the existence of the attack and retreat, at any time and place to withdraw from the fighting place to protect their own safety.

Of course when faced with those larger male boars, the northeastern tigers do not force themselves on them and will only keep an eye on the cubs, which is a survival technique of top predators.
