I came here expecting Street-Fighter-themed bear wrestling. I was disappointed.
"For you, the day I choked a grizzy then ripped it's still-beating heart out of it's chest...for you, that was the most awesome day of your life. For me, it was Tuesday."
Grizzly bears are the scariest motherfuckers. I am indescribably happy that they never developed language or technology.
Ursus spelaeus
The cave bear inhabited Europe during the Late Pleistocene and became definitively extinct around 24,000 years ago, although it held out for a few thousand years longer in some areas, such as the north west of the Iberian Peninsula, than in other places. This ursid was a large animal, weighing 500 kg on average, and was largely a herbivore. The bear hibernated in the depths of limestone caves, where the remains of individuals that died during hibernation slowly accumulated over time.

At some point around the middle picture a pair of pants were ruined.
The pisser? The bison didin't survive not because he was a grisly meal (badumching), but because of the injuries he "sustained," so the park rangers put him down the next day!
...except for the holy shit factor and the pix, what a waste!
