About #782: About bears I believed that with the strength they have they didn't run as fast as the big cats and by far. I also read 65 km/h for a lion or a tiger and 60 km/h for a bear and I thought that it was overrated as concerns the bear. But with this photo, I clearly see that a bear at full speed can adopt the same body position and truly I'm very amazed ! It makes me think that bears would be able to hunt some elks, mooses and other cervids much more often and thus become really an apex predator if their diet was purely carnivorous. They have already the means to.

Yes, you aren´t only one who has thought, that bear speed would be overrated. Many people have no idea about it, that what bear is capable to do. Even in countries with bears many people living in cities have no idea. They think, that a bear is just some big and clumsy creature eating honey and salmon :) They kill actually quite a lot of moose in spring time, I don´t now remember figures, but I can check some a little bit later. Those figures can be surprising for many. They kill in different way than big cats of course, it´s brutal when bear makes a kill comparing to many big cat kills, imo. 

I have shared here before some articles, one was a case in which a bear almost caught a horse with a rider while horse was in full gallop. It was only after that horse found some "extra gear" up in panic, when that bear couldn´t follow anymore. That feels astonishing, but that´s reality. Reply
