 He's a big bear!  He's known as Bear 122 but his nickname is The Boss.  He's famous for eating a black bear. That was before he got his ear tag.  Sometimes he sleeps. Awww.  He's a mighty fine bear and we're proud he calls  home.

That's a fine looking bear. I remember the first time I saw a grizzly. You can't imagine how giant they are in your head prior to your first encounter. It was pretty drat frightening initially

I recently learned some of them kill like 30 calves in a spring. I had thought "oh dont worry they eat roots and poo poo too," but no they're basically chubby lions

Not that it matters because I'd be running away. I think a you tube channel addressed this question.

I vaguely recall in the late 1800s there was an actual cage match between a lion and a grizzly. And the grizzly broke the lion's neck on the first swipe  edit: I had it backwards! quote:There are only two species of bear in the Park, the black and the grizzly. Of these the black bear is the less timid. At least we never encountered a grizzly upon the road.—to our entire satisfaction,—while we saw many black bears. We did see grizzlies, though, at the "Bear • Feeding Grounds" which are maintained near the big hotel and tourist camp near Old Faithful, and they are an impressive looking beast. While the black bear rarely attains a weight ofmore than 400 pounds, the grizzly when full grown generally weighs around 1.000 pounds. And his strength is in proportion to his size. A few years ago an Englishman who had hunted lions In Africa ventured, upon a visit here, to express the opinion that an African lion could whip a grizzly in fair fight. His' opinion was so warmly disputed by partisans of the grizzly that he determined to settle the matter. He brought a full grown lion to this Park and it was put into a cage'along with a grizzly. The lion at once sprang to the attack leaping upon the bear's' back and trying to dig in with claws and teeth. The grizzly sincerely shook him off. The lion again sprang and was again shaken off. A third time it was shaken off, but this time the lion, annoyed, gave it a swipe with one of its paws, and broke its back. killing it with a single blow.

I have trouble seeing how a lion could get the right angle to smash a grizzly back unless it was lying on the ground. Go cats I guess.

Lion's all "must kill thing!" and bear's just "whatever man, why you up in my poo poo" But the research found some bears are chill, and some are bloodthirsty killers

I've never seen a bear in the wild personally, but a few years ago, I was camping by myself in a completely deserted campground in central PA in mid-October in anticipation of going mountain biking the next day. I was sitting at my site, drinking whiskey and enjoying the crackle and pop of my fire, when I heard something large crunching through the bush within 200' of me. There was suddenly a meaty THUD sound, an annoyed half-growl/yelp, then the sound of something large crunching through the brush in the opposite direction. Best I figure, a black bear walked head-first into a tree and ran off. I love bears. I think they're fascinating animals and would love to see one, preferably one far away, unaware of my presence and heading in the opposite direction.

Awesome bear indeed! And... fearsome looking; my three year old daughter loves everything ursus (I've tricked her into believing they only eat berries and honey. Not far from truth in our parts actually), but she was actually a bit taken back by these pictures. More awesome Canadian bears randomly caught on webcam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AihvuZiDhsg Bears in Oregon are pussies. I've seen a few, they just run away. There's actually no recorded case of a bear ever killing a human around here. quote:There was suddenly a meaty THUD sound, an annoyed half-growl/yelp, then the sound of something large crunching through the brush in the opposite direction. Best I figure, a black bear walked head-first into a tree and ran off. The black bear's clumsiness is not exaggerated; they say you can outrun a bear if it's steep downhill, they often lose footing and start tumbling. I've heard of bears accidentally crashing through the woods into humans, and running off terrified. But, if they attack, they mean it, unlike others which might stop after you die, play dead, or go limp. Black bears will eat you if they decide to get close.

Hah, well... if they upload their images in realtime (most don't I would guess), you can pretty easily setup a computer at home to snag the images off the internet, go pose, and come home to find your portrait. Did this last year going to the beach with the fam, it was fun  .

It was pretty drat frightening initially my crew in alaska had the all-time record for hazard bears destroyed, the foreman used to carry a shotgun for this express purpose. they're kinda frightening at first but once you see them go down with a few slugs in them you lose the fear and it's replaced with just a healthy respect. i think i could probably kill a bear with an axe, they're not that tough. they're basically huge dogs

I'm bumping this thread with some A+++++ bear content because bears are awesome. First, we have the patron saint of discerning beer enthusiast bears. For some reason, this story is popping up on social media now, even though it happened 12 years ago. I hope that this bear is now a craft beer fan. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2004-08-18-beer-bear_x.htm Now we have this black bear cub doing battle with bearkind's eternal nemesis: a flag on a golf course. https://youtu.be/kMkWuXk11Uk Lady, this bear has had enough of your poo poo and is happy to let you know about it. https://youtu.be/nU5cMZymSr0 This bear is good at beatin' the heat: https://youtu.be/ElFAEazE3Y8 UPDATE: Bear is still good at beatin' the heat even after putting on like 200 lbs https://youtu.be/I-yqvT8vKZc As this video was shot in Russia, I can only assume a shitton of vodka was involved https://youtu.be/_8mZGLRY2L0 This bear thinks your tree stand is amusing https://youtu.be/8jRTrRxamxQ This webcam captures amazing footage of bears doing rad bear things like standing in waterfalls waiting for salmon, napping and bobbing in water on the reg. The highlights footage is great too. I frequently put this up on one of my monitors when I work from home as my own little zen space. http://explore.org/live-cams/player/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls Right of way on the trail? gently caress you, I'm a bear. https://youtu.be/9Adk14FgN7A So come on, let's keep on posting the  ist bears u got.

My bear story involves me returning home one morning after a midnight shift and seeing a black bear going through garbage bins. It was just a wee little cub so I figured I'd help him by giving him some fruit I didn't get around to eating. Well I was rummaging through my pack to get it some cops showed up honking their horn and flashing their high beams until the cub ran away. I shrugged, went home to sleep, woke up the next morning and realized how much of an idiot I can be when I'm really really tired. FFF- would not attempt to feed bears again.
