Abstract
Interspecific interference competition including lethal interactions are notoriously difficult to document. While lethal interactions between Amur tigers, Amur leopards, and wolves have all been recorded, no records of such incidents between tigers and the Eurasian lynx exist. Following tiger tracks in Bastak Nature Reserve (Russia), we recorded the first documented case of a tiger stalking and killing a lynx.
