Bears as Predators ~

[brobear]

I've also red somewhere that Ancient Romans called brown bear "The King of the beasts" and that brown bears were victorious on the arenas against any other beast including lions. Romans were cruel people and they for sure knew the power relations between different animals much better than we know. But does Michel Pastoureau give any sources, from what Roman authors or texts he has got his information?? I would prefer to read the original Roman texts. 
 
No, but a poster, Charger1 once posted some from it. He no longer posts on any of these sites because he got so fed-up with the fan-boy crap-fights. He posted where it told of the rhino killing the grizzly and some other stuff. It was translated into English, but worded - strangely for us. That was several years ago. He is among  my facebook friends, so I can ask if he can still find it. Charger1 ( Thomas ) was, and still is I'm sure, a tiger enthusiast, but he and I could discuss the animals without any fights. Great guy. I will message him right now.
 
Edit and add, you would probably enjoy "BEAR, History of a Fallen King". Low Price at Amazon.  Reply
