Here is a new case, this time with brown bear killed by wolves in the mountains of Kyrgizstan (Central Asia), including short video. The carcass was found by shepard:

For long was accepted the conception that mighty bear completely dominates wolves but new info shows that in some cases is other way around. Any videos, photos and info concerning timber wolf-bear relations could be posted here.

Yes, we have always situations in wildlife, which represent "normal" ways how things go. Then again there are always situations reminding us, that there are a very few "absolute truths", that something could never happen. All the biggest predators are known to lose sometimes to animals, which they usually kill. We have dhole sometimes killing a tiger, hyenas can attack even a male lion time to time while normally avoiding that fight, then again grey wolves often irritates bears on carcass and even manage to make bear go away. When big pack, a bear without a doubt can die, especially if inexperienced individual. Same goes with every animal.

I try to avoid words like total or complete domination when talking about wild animals, there is no such thing. We have just how things usually goes or more often or 50/50 situations... If trying to find something, where one could say safely, that never going to happen, I think that a bear, lion or tiger will never kill a blue whale :) Reply
