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.

Can a sun bear or a sloth bear kill a lion?

Lions live in africa, and are rare in India, where sun bears and sloth bears live.

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.

Are jaguars more dangerous than tigers and lions?

Yes, but it depends on the situation. A bear is more dangerous when it is wounded, hungry, and sees a human as a potential meal. A bear is also very dangerous when you surprise it, even if it's by accident. A bear is also dangerous if you don't know how to read its body language when it is tell you to stay away. This applies for lions as well. Lions are also quite dangerous when they've had the taste of human flesh before and will stop at nothing to kill again. They are also dangerous because they are adept killing machines and will hunt other animals down even if they have just recently killed one. Finally, lions are dangerous when they see humans as something that is impeding on their territory an feel they have to defend it against these bipeds. All in all, both bears and lions are dangerous if people do not respect them nor understand their body language.
