Whelp, whoever thought it was a good idea to leave any Grizzly Bears alive to roam the Earth at will, regardless of the safety of humans or other bears has got another thing coming, I tell you what.
Word on the streets of Banff, Alberta is that a large male Grizzly, known locally to local animal apologists as No. 122, up and ate an entire adult black bear the other day. Per the National Post,
“It had been completely consumed,” said Steve Michel, a human wildlife conflict specialist with Banff National Park. “There was nothing remaining other than a skull, a hide, the four paws and some bones.”
Jimminy Willickers! How the heck does something like that happen? According to Michel,
“It looks like that black bear just happened to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time when a very large grizzly bear came by.”
What’s even wilder is that No. 122 seems to have a bit of a penchant for bear meat. The Post reported that this savage bad boy pulled the same move about a year ago. What a stud!
I’m not sure if we should give No. 122 a medal for his part in eradicating the Bear Problem, or if we should preemptively take the bastard out, lest he become some sort of Ursine Super Beast. For now, I’ll just stay the fuck away from Banff, thank you very much.
