Bears as Predators ~

[brotherbear]

The Great Bear Almanac by Gary Brown - Theodore Roosevelt told the story of a stallion that defended against a grizzly bear, breaking its jaw and chasing it away.
M.P. Skinner, in Bears in the Yellowstone, wrote of his horse that would attack bears "on sight". It killed two American black bears, "lashing out at them with... hind hoofs ( lightning quick, crashing blows from the rear ) and then quickly spring away before the return charge." He also relates that his horse had "driven several grizzly bears off, without ever having received a sctatch...." Reply
