May 16, 2007: Bear kills moose in driveway

Undertoad · 05-16-2007, 06:37 AM

It's another great Wolf find. Dateline Homer Alaska, where there are both bears and mooses and sometimes they'll just do what comes naturally. But in your driveway, 20 feet from your house is not where you expect a full-sized grizzly to drive its paw directly into the chest of the living moose to pull out its heart. From the full story:

Quote:

Gary and Terri wound up with front-row seats as a brown bear killed a full-grown moose less than 20 feet away from their home.
"I saw this wildlife spectacle of a full-grown brown bear on a moose and the moose fighting for its life," Gary recalled Monday, admitting he was still rattled by the incident.

The couple ran downstairs and got the dog (which was remarkably quiet) inside. Then they got their cameras out.

The bear worked the moose down the driveway and finally killed it.

"She tore apart the chest cavity, ripped out the heart and ate it," Gary said. "It was like she knew that's what kept it alive."

The YouTube vids are not directly linked so that this doesn't become video of the day.

Rocky: Hey Bullwinkle, we're in real trouble now!
Bullwinkle: Oh good, Rocky! I hate that artificial kind!

Maybe the bear just wanted to spike his hair.

Suddenly I feel the need to eat sausages.

Wecome to the Cellar, BeltNah

That's better than the need to eat hearts.

Where is this driveway they speak of? The patch of cleared grass? Nice weather they're having. Yikes!
