Yes. They often prey on buffalo, including both wild and domestic. They also sometimes attack and take down the gaur, which is a large species of wild cattle native to India, and southeast Asia. The gaur is a very aggresive species, and sometimes will turn the tables on the attacking tiger.

I think that a tiger can kill the smaller female buffalo or a young buffalo, but not a healthy big bull buffalo.

Obviously! Tigers don't hunt just roe deer, they'll also go after water buffalo.

No. Leopards don't live where water buffalo do and vice versa.

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.

Among the medium-sized prey species they frequently kill wild boar, and occasionally hog deer, muntjac and Gray langur.
