Pretty sure a sun bear is just a nice, light snack, but a polar bear is a whole fucking buffet!
Polar, or grizz, either would be a battle with a tiger!
However, most animal behavior is posturing, rather than engagement. Likely, after a second or two, one beat would beat a hasty retreat.
Engaging, even with a lesser foe could result in a blinded eye, or other lesser injury which could threaten long term survival for the clear/dominant animal.
As a result, most ‘battles’ are short, intense, and decisive. No beast wants to get hurt. As animals grow up, they will spar and fight together, but once mature RARELY engage in full combat due to the risks.
What kind of bear? I think a grizzly stands a better chance than a black bear against a tiger.
