Sort of, it was on CNN. they didn't show the actual killing but it was filmed by an amateur at the Zoo but CNN cut out the gore, i forget how it transpired but somehow the Tiger got into the Bear area, they showed the Bear roaring at the Tiger, then they blacked it out except the sound.

Put it this way the Roar of the Tiger was stronger than the grizzlys, when the picture came back it showed the Tiger walking away from the lifeless bear (already with a dart in his back). they said the Tiger absolutely tore the throat right out of the Bear and it wasn't much of a fight.

They did point out that this Grizzly Bear was not a wild bear and a wild one probably would have not been aggressive with a cat but because the Bear was in his home (the only home he knew) he acted aggressive.

A wild bear will useally run from a 140lb Mountain lion let alone a 600lb Tiger.

Point is, the big cat family are the most dangerous creatures on the planet and should not be trusted as they are natural born hunters and killers.
