There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

^^ Above pics are of Grizzlies sure though.
In this excellent video, a grizzly or North American (need clarification as it looks like ussuri brown bear???) wrestled with a wild boar (probably, I think its Russian or amur wild boar). After a long struggle, the bear has the upper hand which went on tearing away the pig's back savagely.
The bear was too strong for the omnivorous beast to escape. Even though bear didn't concentrate much on the killing it due to the disturbance and some freaking people are taunting the bear by yelling and chattering, bear went on dominating and destroying the hog's spine.
At last some body freaked away the bear from the site giving a chance to the boar to escape. I dont know whether it ran away or bear again caught on it after the video. However, interesting scene and great power exhibition by brown beary.
That is shame when people interfere to actions of wild animals. Then again it is quite brutal to watch something like that. What happened after that is speculation, but bear has one of the best noses of animals, so it has no trouble to track down prey when it chooses to do so. It is also way faster runner, than wild boar if able to get close to it. When looking at size and condition of that bear there, it can run even 60 km/h (about 37-38 mph) and maintain that speed for a moment. Wild boar is not as fast, so if this bear was really determined, I guess, that it hunted and ate that boar later.
I agree, that quite impressive to see that small bear to handle that big boar so easily. Or should I say when those animals were so closely matched what comes to size. If that was an ezceptional big boar, then that bear could have been reasonably sized, even though far from being a big bear.
