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.

No room for other beasts, unless their close relative has something to say about it:
When you look at video I shared, I would love to see some polar bear trying to approach such site Brown bears aren´t good in sharing, especially if they have claimed some carcass like in that video I posted. And as videos which you shared are showing, brown bears aren´t backing off too much even when confronting polar bear. Interesting to see people saying, that polar bears tend to avoid brown bears, even though they are in average bigger.
Still nice to see, that they can share big carcasses at least occasionally if not always. These are two very dominant species of course meeting time to time, but maybe brown bears are more used to conflicts with other species, this is of course just speculation. But polar bears are practically without competition most of the time, brown bears have to deal with wolves and cougars as competitors at least part of their lives, it´s not easy for young bears always. When adult and full size, it´s a different game.
