The look in that bear’s eyes says land and die.

Never bring a camera to a bear fight.

So now even grizzly bears wear Bluetooth headsets on their ears?

Bear: "Land...come on... land... come on down... I double dare ya!"

Thanks for the bear-bison ping! I think that's a first.

That’s the look I had in my eyes this morning, when I woke up at 0400, and realized it was going to be the best part of my day.

Shivers....

Wow - talk about a death stare. I’d land, far enough away I could put multiple rounds with a large caliber rifle. I’d then eat bear meat, and maybe buffalo (if it was still fresh enough to eat). That is, if the wolves mentioned in the article didn’t get it all first.

If I had to choose, I'd take my chances with the bear!

Now consider that frontiersman left records saying they had seen grizzlies kill healthy full grown bison by breaking their backs with a blow from their forelegs.

At Yellowstone, I saw quite a few buffalo close up. They were blocking the road and, while they were large and powerfully built, at that point did not seem particularly threatening. Around the same area, I saw a family of grizzlies on the side of a hill heading away from the road (thank goodness). Even though they were probably more that 200 yards away, just the sight of them gave me a momentary little twinge of panic.
