Bears as Predators ~

The Grizzly Book by Jack Samson - A Gallery of Outlaw Grizzlies by W.P. Hubbard - The Bandit 1899 to 1904.

Both men had a good look at the grizzly and were sure that the bear's face about the eyes and nose was a decided white color, and that the rest of his body was a dark, bluish-gray with whitish hair on his great shoulders. Because of his masklike markings on his face, he became known as the Bandit.

In the fall, at the edge of a timber-fringed meadow, two coyotes led to the discovery of a gelding that had been killed by the Bandit. The horse had entered a small indentation in a low bank to drink at a spring. Tracks revealed the grizzly had come in behind the horse and had killed it with a smashing neck blow as if attempted to dash by him in the narrow opening. Reply
