Thomas Vilayan: " Sometimes you need to slow down to go fast! Picture taken on slow shutter "
This is an account where a grizzly bear killed four bison bulls one after the another
The account is from the book, Animal life and lore  *This image is copyright of its original author "Even the great bull bison in the heyday of its existence was not safe from attack by grizzly bears. A grizzly was once seen to attack and kill four bison bulls one after the other. The first three was speedily dispatched with a single stroke for each, but the fourth was made of sterner stuff. There was a flurry of horns and paws and, although the bison was eventually killed, the bear itself was severly wounded in the encounter."  *This image is copyright of its original author https://archive.org/details/animallifelore00brel/page/16/mode/2up

Daniel Lindhardt: " She’s always heard that when confronted by a predator you should make yourself look as big as possible. She seems to have forgotten that she’s already big and a predator! "

The shoulder hump of a brown bear reinforces his otherwise awesome upper-body strength making him ( IMO ) pound-for-pound the strongest of bears. He can excavate hard earth tangled with roots and stones like a piece of heavy construction machinery. Those same big heavy-boned and heavily muscled arms and shoulders can without the slightest doubt deliver a powerful paw-strike. However, I am no longer a novice in the animal face-off arena and I refuse to believe that grizzly bears killed huge bulls and bison with a paw-strike.
Depending on just how a bull and bear fight was conducted, I would wager on the grizzly in a fair face-off. Against a bull bison; I would wager on only a huge - no less than 800 pounds ) grizzly boar. But even then this fight between a bull bison and a big boar grizzly ( IMO ) would be a 50-50. I believe the tale of the bear killing four bison is pure fiction; sorry to say. *This image is copyright of its original author
