Would three hyenas dare steal a tiger kill?

Hyena's live in Africa and Tiger's live mainly in India and Russia. There too far apart to meet up, unless they are transported to the same area by Human interference. But let's say they put a Bengal Tiger in Africa and it was feasting on an animal it had killed. I'd say the hyena's would take the Tiger on not knowing what it is. But 1 good Bite from a Tiger would cripple or kill a hyena. The hyena's would probably circle the Tiger and annoy it by biting it and moving away. Hyena's have a bite force that could be twice as strong as the Tiger's, so the tiger would really be ticked off. And swipe it paw's at the hyena's. Then charge at one, A tiger could kill a hyena in a single bite due to it's size advantage. The hyena's may have a hard bite force but It must get a clean bite into the tiger to inflict serious damage. While the tiger can injure the hyena's with swipes from it's paws or a bite with little force. So I can see if the hyena's got too close and engaged in the bite and move tactic it would get a little too close and get caught by the tiger and quickly killed. Tiger's are not slow in combat.There are many vid's of lion's catching and killing hyena's when the hyena's get too close. And I think a tiger has a faster combat speed then the lion. And a faster runner but can only un for a short period of time. So after the tiger takes out 1 hyena the others 2 will realize the risk of continuing this battle and flee. The striped hyena is found in Asia, and may scavenge from the tiger's kill from time to time, but would not have the bravery to attack the great cat.

Who would win a fight between a deer and a tiger?

Are you kidding me! A tiger is larger, longer, and heavier than a deer, so a tiger is totally a winner.


Hyena Vs tiger who will win?

Defnitly a tiger. Tiger are far bigger and more powerful than a hyena. Male lions have been known to kill whole packs of hyenas, so it would not be too hard for a tiger. Tigers can take on large brown bears, so a hyena would be no problem to them. But they would never meet in the wild.
