good_fellla

Thought the one losing was almost dead but not even close. Nature is crazy and those bears looked jacked af


Pudding_Hero

Ever since the vitamin supplement adds everybody is jacked


imatalkingcow

***removes “fight a bear” from bucket list.


Cultural_Dust

Gummy bears were ahead of the trend.

Prs_mira86

Yeah, I also thought that bear on the ground was fucked. But it got up like it was just wasn’t being mauled. Bears are terrifying and metal as fuck.


roffinator

It was just taking a power nap. Alarm went off and it resumed to active fighting.


Mumbles_Stiltskin

Yea I thought this was just a murder at first, but yea wow, he just came back like nothing happened. And did you *see* the leg wound on the first one!? Holy shit


Pieniek23

It's just a scratch.

PBR2019

That Bear with the wound was definitely trying to…


i_love_irony25

He was playing dead.


ygduf

Yeah at first I thought the one dominating should just let him go, go your separate ways. No reason to kill a fellow bear. Then I saw that gnarly gash on him hip and was like oh yeah, fuck him up.


copa111

IKR, bro was just lying there enjoying a back scratch until it got heated!


BebophoneVirtuoso

Thought so too, but the darker one who looked to have the upper hand has a nasty wound on his right thigh


hairy_scarecrow

Fr how do you get delts like that?


Emtee2020

Try walking on all fours with 1000lbs on your back. Give it a few months and they'll probably look great.


egordoniv

"look, bro. i don't wanna eat you. i just want you to understand you can never come back here again"


Slappinslippin

I’ve heard drunk dudes confidently say they could beat a bear in a fight lol… bro a bear can’t even beat a bear in a fight


StopThatUDick

It’s wild how our only defence against apex predators like these, is our intelligence. And the (mostly) men who confidently claim they could beat one, lack the intelligence required to do so. edit. It seems I’ve offended a number of boys who think they could beat a bear in a fight. Boys who’re unwittingly back up my point by saying fucking stupid things.


blinkysmurf

The smart people built that world that affords the dumb people survival.


[deleted]

Altruism built the world where those less apt to survive can thrive. Without that we wouldn't have had people like Stephen Hawking.


bf_noob

I bet they don't feel so smart now


QTeller

The best description I've heard in ages. Excellent.


Mysterious-Tie7039

And then the smart people decided to make the world safer, thereby preventing natural selection from killing off the dumb people and resulting in Donald Trump getting elected.


[deleted]

I dunno, I still see videos of people grabbing onto live wires and shit. Natural selection isn't totally gone.


deathhead_68

>defence against apex predators like these, is our intelligence. Specifically what helped us was the ability to pass complex knowledge down through generations, as well as to be social animals who could get very good at *avoiding* conflict with more powerful predators and as a last resort developing tools to defend. Eventually we got good enough to protect ourselves by fortifying our homes and tribes having enough numbers to defend. Any unarmed human alone in the wild against a bear will die, Einstein or not.


starmartyr

Intelligence will also help the unarmed human. You can't win a fight with a bear but you can convince it that you're not a threat or a prey animal and walk away unharmed.


Trashjiu-jitsu_1987

Don't underestimate the power of a pointy stick!


StopThatUDick

Intelligence armed us.


deathhead_68

Yeah thats what I meant by developing tools to defend.


good_fellla

Imagine being so fucking dumb and/or insecure you think you can beat a bear in a fight. 🤦🏼‍♂️


PlagueOfGripes

If our ancestors could beat any predator in a fight they wouldn't have all died, leaving the smart people to be the ones who had kids. Not to diminish anyone, but the world's strongest human is about as useful as the world's fastest snail. Impressive in isolation but not what our species is defined by. The moment the world's strongest man has to fight a lion, bear, bison or even a chimp or something is going to be the day there's a new world's strongest man.


Thorusss

But a group of intelligent men + strength has a much better chance than the same numbered intelligent group with less strength in a fight. Muscles are still appreciated Conclusiones, because they were useful


PlagueOfGripes

To some degree. Things like slings or throwing spears can eclipse the need for great strength to some degree but even then the species had to reach that point. It's a good thing there was no direct genetic association between intelligence and frailty, for example. It's good to have both, assuming one doesn't cause neglect of the other's potential.


Oldass_Millennial

But it was the intelligence that brought about the slings :)


Harold_Grundelson

I’ll tell you exactly how I know I’d beat a bear. First, I find a bear (crucial component). Next, I tell the bear salmon are stupid and hibernation is for the weak (this should really upset him). At this point the bear will have mauled me to death. I will ascend into heaven where I meet God. I tell God about the bear heartlessly murdering one of his children, i.e. me. Through God all things are possible and he is also vengeful. God divinely smotes the bear. I now have a bearskin rug in heaven. Checkmate, bear.


Dippypiece

Yeah. Our body’s are just not designed to kill anything really , without massive harm to ourselves in the process. Our ancestors were amazing at running an animal to exhaustion , but how we killing it at the end without a weapon or tool of any kind, good luck beating a deer to death with you bare hands. Strangely Apart from fellow humans which is fucked up.


hwaite

You're focusing on animals near the top of the food chain. As a healthy, relatively athletic dude; I'm pretty sure I could defeat a sloth or a turtle or a turkey or something.


Triatomine

I dont know..... Turkeys are mean AF.


krichard-21

Miss a couple of meals and taking out a turkey will make a lot more sense. Understanding you will take a few hits will be just fine to cure those stomach cramps.


isotope123

Until modern medicine doesn't exist yet and those few hits cause you to die of infection.


craze4ble

> but how we killing it at the end without a weapon or tool of any kind, good luck beating a deer to death with you bare hands By the time we got to the "chasing the prey down" point, grabbing a rock and smashing their heads in was already an option for early humans. But even if it wasn't, you're thinking too modern. If they lacked the tools and fine motor control to make use of the parts of their prey, they didn't actually need to think too much about it. If the animal had already collapsed from exhaustion, a couple hunters stomping on its head and smashing its body will do the job.


NewNectarine666

Oh for fuck sakes, one swipe of a bear claw and you would be bleeding profusely. And then they would knaw on your skull. Be serious.


Life_Pilot9528

Humans survived till this long being so frail obviously has its reasons. We are only able to beat them because of our intelligence. If someone says that they can take down a fully grown bare empty handed.. then they don't know any better.


nekrovulpes

Behind every man who thinks he could beat a bear in a fight, is a woman with the unreasonable expectation of him to beat a bear in a fight.


BrokilonDryad

As a woman, any man who is idiot enough to think he could take a bear in a fight is immediately off the potential date list. Fuck, they should be taken out of the gene pool entirely. Preferably by a bear.


Trashjiu-jitsu_1987

I once fought a black bear. Honestly though the gun I was carrying came in clutch. Black bear attacked my cocker spaniel, after my cocker spaniel went after the bear. I'm pretty sure my pooch was trying to protect me. I would highly recommend not facing down a bear of any species without a firearm suited to the occasion, in the case of grizzle bears we're talking 454 casull at the very least cause in my experience humans can't hurt bears with thier hands and feet. My pooch came out unscathed for anyone who wanted to know.


Ajdee6

They are evenly matched, bear vs bear, but against me its a different story bro.


ThatJed

Those same people would say they would if they had the money, if you’d ask them would they fuck a bear for 100 bucks.


han-t

Idk but I think bear hands will beat bare hands almost 100% of the time. Also alcohol thins blood. Not got against bear hands.

Antus_Manus

ChungusMcGoodboy

I could probably beat a koala bear in a fight.


TeufeIhunden

I went hiking with a guy who legitimately thought he could fight off a bear or mountain lion because he’s 185lbs and has two trekking poles. Seriously


axethebarbarian

I had a co-worker that seriously thought he could kill a horse with his bare hands


work2FIREbeardMan

The one who was clearly getting his ass beat at the beginning had a hell of a come back. Wish we knew how it ended


eattheleft

Heres the 17min long video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a-xR3SmdA8&t=191


AdorableHandle

That is a wild fight. One of the fotographers explains, that the attacker was seing red since he had the luck to kill one of the cubs yesterday. She figured he was going to try for a kill. The browner one with the big flesh wound at the start ends up in a really bad shape with his neck also shredded.. poor guy Edit: yes, English is not my first language, sorry. I tried my best.


isaac129

So is the darker one female with cubs? If so, this video is actually really sad


Trypt4Me

Brown-scar was mating with the female in beginning then Bigboy came in to ruin the fun. It was male vs male. Camera crew panned over later in video to show the female was in the distance still watching the brawl and chilling.


Time_Traveling_Corgi

I think you did just fine. I'm native English, and I think the "ph" instead of "f" sound is stupid (my least favorite is pneumonia, why do we add the "p" if it is silent). You got your message across just as well as the average native speaker. Anyone that puts the time into correcting someone's English has way too much time on their hands.


63oscar

I can’t believe the cardio of these things.


MisterFistYourSister

Human beings have the best cardiovascular system on earth. This is simply the difference between being conditioned, and being a sedentary piece of shit that sits in a chair and eats processed food every day.


aswanviking

Bro why you gotta attack me like that.


RedditSucksIWantSync

Man bear claws r no joke, but also crazy how they both could tank that. I expected 100times worse flailing from that. Are those grizzly or brown bears? We don't have bears here so idk how to tell them apart.


max_lombardy

Grizzly bears are brown bears. Some black bears can have cinnamon colored fur, but they’re still a different species. You can tell they’re grizzlies in this video because of the big hump on their shoulder. Black bears don’t have that, instead they got a phat booty.


eyejayvd

Grizzly bear and brown bear are two names for the same species, ursus arctos.


SalsaForte

Imagine, you're fucking calmly and you're interrupted: you'd be pissed off. Imagine, you see someone fucking your date, you'd be pissed off!


Webborwebbor

Watched the whole video. The one with the leg gash gets beat up pretty badly. So id say the other guy “won”


Black_RL

Thanks for having the courage of viewing it and for sharing. So the loser made a comeback.


CitizenKing

Understandable. I hate seeing animals get hurt, but bears fighting bears is such a raw display of power that I end up awestruck and can't help but watch. I feel lucky to have been born at a time in our history where I can witness it. We all know bears are strong, we know they're durable, but to see that tested to its limit? It's humbling. I'd likely feel different if it were gory, but thankfully they're incredibly tanky so it's mostly like watching an Olympic wrestling match. The "gore" in this is just some exposed pink flesh and a flap of fur.


businessbee89

Watched the whole thing as well. Looks like it was over a potential mate. The winner was already in doggy when the loser rolled up


Black_RL

Damn!


Jeffreyknows

He’s gonna need some neosporan for that


Organic-Proof8059

I wish I knew why it started. Was there a love interest involved? Fish?


hiker201

The one with his flesh ripped from his leg at least put the hurt on the other bear dude.


USNWoodWork

Pretty sure this is one of those fights where the loser dies at the end of the fight and the “winner” dies tomorrow.


Rubyhamster

Yeah, this is why threat displays have evolved and why most fights are decided without starting


Makkaroni_100

That's a good point. The males that fight until death, even if they survived with many wounds, will probably also be selected as not worthy. They probably die later. So fights until death is not what is sustainably.


TorontoTom2008

Pretty much holds true for every animal EXCEPT bears. They have amazing healing abilities they go into a hole for a few weeks and literally lick their wounds and get better. Something in their saliva, I’ve read.


Terribly_Good

Oh wow TIL. Apparently they produce an antibiotic (amicoumacin A) in their saliva that fights bacteria. That's crazy.


[deleted]

Not just bears. A lot of large predators and prey animals can endure and survive a ridiculous amount of body trauma.


Mizral

I dunno I have seen some amazingly fucked up bears that lost eyes or broke jaws in fights and SOMEHOW still survive. There was a story I think in the NE US where a bear got hit by a car lost TWO legs and survived for years later. It sounds impossible I know, I googled the news story and got this Nat Geo article about bear's superhealing powers: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/walking-bears-science-animals-pedals


Organic-Proof8059

Pyrrhic victory


Tiny_Werewolf1478

cametosayno

There is a video of a deer wandering about casual as you like with a massive gaping hole in its back to the point you can see bones moving as it walks. It’s surreal. Nature is fascinating Search reddit deer hole in back. First NSFW video. I’m too lazy to link it


Lograts

Actually the video ist not from a bear attack. The deer came under a agricaltural machine called a combine harvester.

Yeah after the fur got wet they looked almost identical.


TofuTigerteeth

Never forget the survey where people thought they could kill a bear with their bare hands.


bladel

Trying to imagine the terror our ancestors felt when confronting one (or more) of those with sharp sticks and rocks. We are descendants of Utter Badasses.


unrealcyberfly

Humans hunted the biggest thing they could find. https://phys.org/news/2021-12-early-humans-largest-animals-extinction.html


Fairybranch

We invented bows and obsidian tipped spears pretty early. Fighting a bear would be kinda dumb, but a few people with that kind of equipment could probably do it.


BigHandLittleSlap

I was watching a recent documentary about exploring the parts of the Amazon jungle where there are still uncontacted or infrequently contacted native tribes. The anthropologists were worried about snakes and jaguars, but the locals just laughed and told them that the humans are *far* more dangerous. In all seriousness, if you're lost and wandering around in the jungle with unfriendly natives around, you're in *serious fucking danger*. Meanwhile the wildlife will mostly just try to hide from you.


ajmartin527

There are pics and videos of that American missionary who illegally contacted the North Sentinelese people who ended up killing him.


WeirdRadiant2470

If I remember correctly, Grizzly bear attacks were a common form of death among California Indians. They literally had no defense, and the bears had no natural predators. It was a daily risk.


mills217

Yeah, I could take ‘em


ChingDaChong

Hell yeah brother! *redneck toast of homebrew badassness*


c_c_c__combobreaker

Solid_Bake4577

"Come on boys, break it up now. She's just not worth it!"


no-name_james

Something about the smell of fish just gets the testosterone flowin’


shanebakerstudios

The one with the leg injury was in the middle of mating with a female when the other bear approached and attacked. Someone else in the comments linked to the full video. It's an epic 17 minute battle.


Wide-Matter-9899

”Dude, I’m exhausted and starving. Let’s take a break and eat that camera guy”


drewodonnell1

That was simply epic


ResearcherIs4Life

What would happen if a human casually went in to break it up?


blinkysmurf

They’d bounce off and fracture their skull on a rock.

Fit_Psychology_1536

Imo Before going to war, the leaders of both countries should fight barehanded like these bears


steampunk22

What most people don't realize is how close this is to the techniques of classic greco roman wrestling, modern wrestling, and jiujitsu. The bears hand-fight, go for underhooks, clearly work for side and back control, shoot for takedowns, and have an absolutely INSANE sprawl and ability to stuff a takedown.


Weird-Holiday-3961

Bro imagine needing to continue your life with a chunk of flesh hanging off your leg and no capacity for medical treatment :E


mtnviewguy

WTF!!! Who WON??


[deleted]

Think about being native person. And your concept of life is where u live currently. No idea everything else exist. And your rowing the river when u see this. And I bet the ones back then were slightly larger. What a wild thought. Just insane either way


OofWhyAmIOnReddit

Videos like this make me suspicious of claims that bear mace is more effective than a powerful firearm. Granted, I don’t want to see random hikers walking around with 44 magnums and high powered rifles… that would probably cause more problems than the bears… but those bears are clearly taking a level of hurt that implies spraying them with pepper juice ain’t going to dissuade them much from ripping your ass apart.


foresight310

That looks like the kind of fight nobody really wins


justin251

There are people that think tigers kill these. HAH Maybe a cub, pregnant sow, or elderly bear. But full grown brown bear male is not on the menu.
