[@BPRescue]

Let's see... Blond phase black bear attempting to prey on a brand new calf where mom was trying to hide the calf, then forced to protect it. All in recognizing a truck is less than 30' away during the entire event and not "really" impacting it; man you aren't kidding. Pretty darn amazing to see even in these days where cameras seem to catch anything. That just isn't the case in the wild, at least this close and personal with a cell phone video. Just wish the guy took the video in landscape, but he can crop it I guess. Remember, video is ALWAYS landscape, while photo's can be both portrait and landscape.

[@spencertom9917]

Sad that the calf got hurt, and sad that the bear couldn’t eat cuz he looks hungry

From now on I'm filming all my videos vertical........Just because it makes people whine so much!

[@maybluekin9414]

Dennis Schmidt if you whine about the video being vertical, the cool kids will know that you are hip.

[@RyanPowerhouse]

If you hit the full screen button on the bottom right of the video that looks like 4 corners on a square and keep your phone vertical it doesn't have black bars at the sides like it would if you turn your phone sideways and then becomes the best possible way to view a video that was recorded this way. I hope this stops all future issues for everyone.

[@toadamine]

[@windergard]

You need to be a little more concerned with where mama bear is because that's just a cub.

[@BPRescue]

Small black bear yes, but not a cub. Remember, they stay with mom 1-2 years, rarely more. This is not a 1st year cub, and this could be his first year on his own. If mom were around, he would not be following the calf like he did. But he was less than efficient, even timid, so it's even possible this is a 2nd year cub and something happened to mom... Once on his own, he should be better, but then again even finding the almost scentless calf is a success for him...

I normally don't think of Elk as something to fear, but after watching a few videos of them it's clear they can kill you with a single kick to the head.

That fawns as good as gone. The bear won't give up and it's already injured.

[@virtualwarp]

Jay Pomana It still managed to stand up and walk. I've seen animals survive worse injuries. It all comes down to luck, really. That baby Elk could be dancing in the rain at the moment, for all we know.

[@keithgood3419]

Jay Pomana NO, I don't think so!! That mother most definitely won't give up trying to keep her baby safe!! The bear will give up first, it will realize it's too much effort along with the risk of injury is just not worth it!! If it was a lot bigger it would stand a lot better chance of getting the meal, and being bigger means less chance of injury!! I think it just walked off and thought lesson learned!!

Strangely, the mother could be the demise of the fawn. Fawns have little scent so the bear would track the mom.

[@onenewworldmonkey]

[@carlschnackel3051]

In Glacier Park, I once saw a cow elk chasing a full grown bull moose that got too close to her calf. Evidently elk are very protective and don't take crap from anything -- not to mention they're just slightly smaller than a horse. The carnivore doesn't always win the fight.

[@cjant101]

Great video! Bear looks like a cub to me although certainly very capable of killing the calf. The mother elk could really mess it up though should she decide to. She seems a little freaked out herself though. Also please turn your camera sideways when filming!!

[@JohnJohn-qv4mg]

Bears are killed by elks more than your little brain knows. The best thing to do is try not to correct someone and act like a know-it-all when you clearly do not understand much about the topic. If the elks kicks the bear in the right place (meaning an elk kick to a bears jaw or certain part of its leg or other parts of its body) would injury the bear badly enough where the bear will A) not be able to catch enough food and starve to death, and B) not be able to protect itself and get killed by another bear or larger animal. Do you think nothing kills bears except for humans and other bears? Larger animals, like bears, are often killed by much smaller animals, or animals that a human does not understand how it could kill a bear. ... I grew up in Alaska and you are like the typical dumb tourist we used to have who goes and touches a moose or thinks he can walk around the elk because you´re too stupid to realize the harm an elk or moose can do to you. You don´t even realize elks kill bears often. The stupidty of mankind is pathetic.

[@erockg9139]

Analyze Study Guy a swift kick to the head by a full grown elk is more than enough to kill a bear.

[@jobohiggins663]

It is a sun bear, not as deadly as grizzly

[@tmarks1218]

Let me help all you morons: landscape on filming, the bear was a cub, elk kill bears, there is no beer here, the calf died from those injuries, the cow got shot during rifle cow hunt, and any video containing titties is better than this one. Any type of titties would be fine. Even fat chick titties and old lady titties.

[@carterfulton3242]

Marksman1218 well said👏😂

[@keepthemwild4795]

That bear is very young. And that is indeed an elk calf, but don’t think the cow is his mom. You could see toward the end she crossed the road without the calf, and the young grizzly had another chance.

[@anytirellc]

Not a "baby" bear. It's a good size 250-300 lb cinnamon black bear. Less adept at hunting and able to climb trees

Good filming sir

[@JR-kk6ce]

An excellent video that gives insight into the problem we have in S. Florida with too many bears. Deer will leave their fawns alone hiding in the grass while they go forage. Bears, with their incredible sense of smell, hunt the fawns and eat them. That is why we have had a dramatic decline in the number of deer in S. Florida. Unfortunately, the public does not want to hear this. To them, bears are cute and cuddly.

That bear will continue chasing them until mamma gives up. That baby cannot endure such a long chase, and if the bear is really hungry, it's more than willing to risk some extra kicks for its food.

Take Historic Route 66 west out of Flagstaff, then turn left on Woody Mountain Road. Follow this road, which turns to dirt, for about 23 miles. Do not take any side roads until you can see the break in the trees to your right. This is the End of the World.

[@blakespower]

if elk are anything like deer they leave their babies in a hiding place during the day, while they go forage for food.
