Article is in Finnish, but with google translator everyone should be able to read it quite ok.

And here lies the problem....
We all know that bears don't just give each other a smack and call it a day, these animals fought and the smaller female was killed. It could of had it's skull crushed from a strike, a bite, body weight pressure, etc. 
And lastly is that we're talking about an animal that is 3 times the size of another. 
To put it in human terms, that's a 200lb man vs a 66 lb 9 year old male child.

I do know, that bears can end a fight with one paw strike with smaller animal. If you and some others don´t know it, it´s something else. In that article zoo staff say clearly, that bear was killed by paw strike and I believe it, because bear experts tell, that bears can kill with paw strike. Your or mine competence is nowhere near the level of the people behind that site, I linked. http://www.largecarnivores.fi/front-page.html That information there isn´t written based on some wild guesses.

You don´t need to believe anything you read, it´s your business, I don´t mind. I know what I believe and everyone else can make up their mind. I don´t write "we", because I don´t know what others think or what they think they know. But when zoo here informs, that bear broke skull of another bear with paw strike, it´s not a wild guess. I trust to that information also, because they have no reason to lie.

And these "bear experts" have actual experience seeing a bear kill another animal with a paw strike?

The information written there is based off of access to the same information that any of us have. Are you so willing to accept this as fact but question Rabin Sharma when he says the Rhino was a sub adult and killed by a Tiger?
Or question a weight provided by hunters or the Guinness Tiger?

And like you, I'm not writing "we" I'm responding to a post you used in a discussion regarding big cats/bears breaking bones with one paw swipe. And once again, I never said they were lying I said that how can anyone know if it's a swipe, bite or wrestling from the interaction. Zoo's post wrong info or vague info all the time, being realistic, a fight isn't a swipe and it's done nor does a Big Cat/Bear just stop after delivering a single blow. When they are intent on killing, they make sure the job is done. Reply
