747 Still held his island.

[@terrirojas2162]

And that’s what counts

[@GT-mn3bx]

Poor 747. He looked so peaceful

[@floydstowe]

Don't think chunk is dominant 747 holds his own

[@Cloud888]

@@floydstowe Per Mike Fitz, the one who walks away is the winner in the bear world. :)

[@mikehunt-fx7sf]

@@Cloud888 Not necessarily.

[@working_lap_traffic9377]

That is what us humans consider a sucker punch. :(

[@shelleyjackson8793]

Wow, one minute he’s all relaxed and chilled, the next he’s having to defend himself out of nowhere!

[@ocsugar]

That was a low blow.

[@theck672]

Thank you for this video… it happened so fast, appreciate seeing it here … my adrenaline is still high due to this encounter

[@theck672]

This was shocking to see live … it came out of nowhere… 32 chunk needs to mate, he has too much testosterone…

[@sidneyerickson4883]

I missed this, thanks for posting! But by last night Chunk had to resign the falls to everyone, there were 6 around him on BF cam. He was a different fella then 😂

[@floydstowe]

Chunk was the one that walked away 747 still pretty dominant

[@donnahunting2835]

As I see it 747 won this and didn't back down after being attacked out of no where.

[@taramcbrearty2918]

Chunk nap attack 747 still stood his ground chill out big guy and next time face your rival😊

[@HS-ob3fz]

that was uncalled for, 747 was just chilling minding his business :(

[@dbsnyder4503]

32 is younger and more aggressive. He has been biding his time over the last 3 or 4 years, moving up the pecking order. This year, he is declaring himself #1. And until he gets put in his place, he will be #1 bear at the falls this year. And likely for years to come. He has the size and aggressiveness to rule.

[@shelleyjackson8793]

@@dbsnyder4503 747 did put him in his place!

[@peterrahill9263]

Maybe upset about whomever took a dump on his island hangout... decided to take it up with 747.

[@michelleceleste3509]

Chunk means business this year

[@lorrainediferdinandogordon5519]

WTH Chunk??!!!

[@debdew7125]

Wow! Sneak attack! 747 was just chillin. Thanks for the video!💙

[@terrirojas2162]

747 held his own and told Chunk 32 what’s what. Look at 32 regretting his choices and skulking off.

[@GT-mn3bx]

Chunk: Oh crap. It's 747. He's pretty big too. I better move along.

[@toweypat]

Aw why would you do that to someone who was having a nice nap?

[@ds7675]

Oof, maybe Chunk is still embarrassed that 747 was in the jacuzzi when he slipped off the lip the other day so he’s playing a tough guy…excuse me, bear. 😂 Poor 847 was just taking a nap on HIS island!

[@brownbear7157]

The best moment on BF until now!

[@sararicci5517]

i love the end of the clip too, the other bear who witnessed it runs up the falls like i dont want that smoke

[@hisservants8003]

32 wants the crown. So far, he seems to be top dog.

[@user-qc7hr4my7r]

Chunk has been acting like a punk lately, lol.

[@beetleb3657]

He is definitely more aggressive maybe. 747 I would think is tired of it.

[@WorkTravelLive]

chunk is too much!

[@ajm1268]

Had to give it a shot😊

[@jawadad73]

when fishin's lousy, tempers rise...

[@AMW405]

Chunk wants to be top bear! Very impressed with him.

[@lupodelupis3672]

It's all about asserting dominance and the reason is that they know if they can avoid the fight it's better for both sides, cause even the winner can recieve bad, vey painful wounds.

[@khsoutdoors]

Shocking to think that 747 weight 1400 lbs!

[@ElleSpeaks]

Can’t even chill bc …..Chunk 😂

[@willyboyw.5771]

Cant believe the salmon run going on now 7/3-7/4

[@TheErik249]

I know... right. The run is on full throttle this morning. But there is only one bear at the fall right now.

[@nsxdarin]

That's low attacking a guy while he's napping.

[@swimbait1]

They do this a lot early but as more bears arrive it seems to be more argueing and less fighting

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Just a couple of bears arguing over fishing spots 😅

[@europaeuropa3673]

32 has US military training.

[@Irene-ym7bx]

Goodness, there you are. Minding your own business and some yob comes along

[@davemanone3661]

They only fight if it is absolutely vital. It's hard to feed or mate if you're injured. They are more intelligent than humans, they only fight for a good reason!

[@kezzen3930]

After last year chunk is my least favourite bear and this years display is not helping. Hopefully he settles into his dominance at some point and stops challenging everything he sees.

[@zakelwe]

An interesting wake up call. That bite to the joint on the rear leg didn't seem to cause any problems walking, they do have some fur and fat to absorb some of it. Just hyperthetically it would be interesting to know what the bite would hav looked like on a humans hip at same bite force. We are quite skinny things in comparison ( on the whole ).

[@TheScourge-sg5vv]

Who was the other bear at the falls who got pushed out ?

[@lindasturm699]

Chunk needs a girlfriend.

[@theck672]

747 has not been seen since this incident I don’t think…

[@toweypat]

They say he came back to the falls just now.

[@theck672]

@@toweypat thank you 🙏 happy to know this.
