Bears are different because they are omnivores. They will always choose the path of least resistance when obtaining food. They aren't going to risk an injury killing a buffalo if they can just go somewhere else and get some easier food. Tigers are ambush predators and carnivores. They don't have a choice. Bears are the best predators because they are so versatile and much more resilient. They eat moths, berry's, buffalo...trash...they don't care.
I think it's silly to think griz don't get salmon, the Kokanee run every year here, and I would bet they watch for that and the brown run. Cool vid tho. That Griz would whip any bison...second only to wolverine.
Nice video. That Grizzly would not of stood much of a chance against two full grown Bison though, lucky for him he didn't press an attack. I really have to visit Yellowstone sometime...
@DoctorJK3 Well the activity really varies at different times of year, spring is really the best because they all wake up so hungry they feel like they could eat a whole buffalo! Also you really want to be looking hard at sunrise and sunset, this is right at the end of the day, the best activity is at dawn and dusk!
@lotiq Not sure about that. Bison are about the same size and strength as African buffalo and it takes a whole pride of lions including a male to take one of those down.
Siberian tiger is bigger then male lion, but male lions are more prepared then tigers to take a fight. So it's difficult to say that tigers are the tougher.
@Thewoog34 I have seen a male lion with the help of one female lion take down a cape buffalo...A male lion could do it on his own but it's going to be one hell of a fight and he will probably get hurt and could be killed doing it
when a bull Bison is out in the wild they rule the forest there is nowhere to inflict injury on a head so massive and a gigantic neck and chest and shoulders the rear quarter is about all a predator has but thats on an animal that is a ton even half the weight would be a very large grizzly
That's not one bison, but two and they're large males at probably a ton a piece. It's too hard to tell the size of the grizzly. The bear's no dummy. He walked away.
These are fairly young bulls and not on the upper scaled in weight....Large plains bison can weigh up to 1900 pds while the larger wood bison weighs up to 2250.....no match for a bear.
I wouldn't say no match for a bear. Bison were at one time considered more dangerous than even Grizzly bears. Grizzlies are mostly solitary animals whereas Bison travel in herds. And Bison herds tend to stand their ground.
@mr3vil666 I'm not sure about this past year, but the year before Bison and Moose killed more people that Grizzlies. There was an older gentleman that was killed just outside Calgary, Alberta that accidently walk up to 2 bull bison on crown last and was gored to death, poor guy, prolly didn't even know what hit him as it was very early morning in the dark.
@The1SandBox Yeah, they are definitely dangerous but beautiful animals. Their power makes them hard to domesticate, only a few operations exist that I know of, a few of them here in the Texas Panhandle. But even the ones raised in captivity are just as ornery and squirrelly as the wild ones.
a brown bear is a very powerful animal but up against a full grown bull bison,it would take a hell of alot of manouvering for that bear to kill such a large animal.
Yup. But musk ox are actually MUCH smaller than bison. It's only because of their massive coat that they appear to be that big. In fact, they are big goats.
Wow! the bison bull 2:00-2:28 really took a dominant stance, just enough for the grizzly to back out. The bison looked ready for a fight, it would of been epic battle!!
Oh I'm sure a big polar bear or a Kodiak can take on a grown bison since male lions can kill buffaloes on thier own and tigers can kill gaurs, which are larger than bisons.
Great! You can see the bear debating in his mind... hmmmm should I or should I not...THe Bison posturing to say .. well Buddy if you think you want to go right ahead... LOL great footage!

lotiq 1 year ago
@lotiq Yes but tigers killed by bears are sometimes reported.
Althow the opposite happens more often, average grizzly is more powerful then average black bears or sloth bears.
So I'm not sure tiger would have easy life against a full grown male grizzly. The opposite is also true.

Grizzlies in Wyoming never get any salmon in their diet, only a few cutthroat trout in the spring.
I think this bear developed a taste for bison from feeding on a roadkill bison carcass.
