Lions live in Africa, and are rare in India, where sun bears and sloth bears live. Even if they did live in the same region and continent, it would be possible since sloth bears and sun bears have been known to chase away sumatran and bengal tigers. Sun bears are the smallest species of bears, but their fierce reputation, high aggression, big claws and big teeth would make a lion or a tiger runaway. It also has been said that sun bears have been known to chase away adult male leopards from their territory. Male Sloth bears can get very big, and bigger than the male asiatic black bear. They are known to be very aggressive and territorial, and tigers would chose not to prey on them that much.

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.

What kind of animal can kill a dog?

No dog would mess with any bear alive, not even a large dog of a powerful breed. Even the smallest species of bear, the sun bear is dangerous enough for a dog of any size to attack because they have very big claws, very strong teeth, and have very fierce reputations and can weigh as much as a large dog. A pack of wolves usually will fail to kill an adult bear, especially a brown bear or polar bear.
