You aren’t gonna be able to wrestle a full grown tiger it’s hard enough wrestling a Pitbull or Rottweiler.

> Give me a spear and I'll be willing though.

That should make for an interesting YouTube video.

On the condition that the tiger is a healthy adult in the wild, hungry, and has never been captive, and someone is standing nearby not to interfere but to hit the upload button after you’re slain.

Chainmail is bite proof in that it will likely prevent the tiger's teeth from puncturing your skin, but a tiger's jaw is strong enough to snap almost any bone in your body through the chainmail, so it's ultimately not going to do you much good.

Many cats kill by crushing the throat, choking the prey. I doubt mail would stop that.

I have seen footage of a tiger pushing down the head of a charging antelope with one paw.

Human has no chance wrestling an adult tiger.

There are accounts of people killing bears bare handed (though I don't know how adult they are), so it may not be as far fetched.

Two problems I think. First, the kind of bear and the age of the bear. The size and strength of bears range widely. Fighting a sun bear is somewhat reasonable. Fighting a grizzly, on the other hand.....

Second, video proof. I know this kind of things probably aren't taped, because the people are busy fighting for their life. But, still, I'd be skeptical before I see some proof, that a person fought and killed an healthy adult grizzly (or some other comparable types) without a firearm or trap.

not bite proof, this is why they use cages to protect against really big sharks.

Sharks are larger and have larger teeth though. Plus, they have an advantage b/c they live in water and we don't. Bring them to land and we can debate a cage-less shark fight. The tiger situation seems more possible but I wouldn't try it.

I'm just saying that there's a limit to the amount of bite protection provided by chain mail.
