I only translated the article, no coments from my side, the topic was already widely discused last year.

Peter, this video doesn't give any new information concerning that event, I gave the link because the animals are shown in several new positions, obviously the camera trap made more than 2 already known photos. This video decribes in general terms the behavior of the bears from Russian Far East. Its said that when the bears during the autumn can't find enough of their normal food they tern to other protein sources - more especialy meat. The bear in the second half of the video in his hunger for animal proteins has killed tree dogs in a village. 
If I find more information for Rashel and that particular gigantic bear I'll post, for now no news.

Yes, sorry. Peter explained to me there was a story of cleptoparasitism I was unaware of with those particular individuals reported some months before I found the forum. Though I have read some of the content, I haven't been able to catch up with this very long thread. Seems some brown bears are just able to survive in some parts of their distribution thanks to the presence of predators like the tiger. Reply
