Brown Bears Eating

WARNING: If you don’t like seeing animals eating other animals (aka frozen moose leg), or are super squeamish, you may want to turn back.

I took this video on Mother’s Day at Big Game Alaska (a preserve not a zoo), close to the Portage turnoff, and situated in actuality within the bounds of the original town of Portage before the 1964 earthquake.

Here, three brown bears were fed a moose leg that was dropped over the fence via bulldozer, and tied up. Soon, a coyote appeared and waited on the horizon, and the three bears trotted forth.

Although it may seem like only two of these bears are really featured, the first bear is the Submissive one, who wanders off to wait after the dominant ones appear; he can be seen briefly again at the first “growling”.

Watch through the credits — there’s a short clip following it. This is not the same area of the preserve, by the way, and is instead on the way back out.

    Ha, I didn’t end up going back to find out because the guy who had initially asked (SnipeZ850) said that they didn’t need me to do so. I can still go back there if anyone else wants the info, of course, though; it’s only like 20-40 miles away (which is really nothing here in Alaska).

    Thanks for the compliment though. And I actually didn’t have internet for about six of those months, haha.

    Not necessarily. …
    Not necessarily. Grizzly bears are a subspecies of brown bear; so all grizzly bears are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzly bears.

    To be scientific about it, Brown bears are known as Ursus arctos while Grizzly bears are Ursus arctos horribilis.

    It’s been a while since I filmed this, but I’m pretty sure they were just “regular” brown bears. Grizzlies are much bigger. If you like though, I’ll go back soon and double check for you. =)
