Totally agree. Bears, Great Whites, and Lions/Tigers.

You forgot one.

On the show 'I'm Shouldn't Be Alive' they went over a story about a teenager who got mauled by a grizzly bear. They had to show an animation of what the bear did to the guy. Essentially, one swipe by the bear and it practically took a chunk of about 1/2 of his leg off and he could see his own femural artery.

Just devastating to watch the animation.

Stupid, can't believe anyone would stand there taking photos that close to a Grizzly. That Bear sees you as food nothing more.

I watched that awful movie. That poor guy should have been locked up for his own good (and the woman he brought out there with him). He just was not at all right in the head and made it as long as he did on luck.

seems like shooting yourself would be the easier way to go. To be attacked and eaten I can think of many other ways I would rather go.

I've watched the whole thing once and parts of it 2-3 other times. But every time I've run across it, I can't turn it off. It's like watching a car wreak. Talk about a case study in bi-polar disease!

What's crazy is a bear can climb a tree faster than any human, so there's really no escape. I don't think I respect any wild animal any more than a bear. Maybe a lion. haha.

Adult Grizzlies don't climb trees that well FWIW. They can but not as well.
 
Natural selection.

The reason there are so many stupid people is that we do not allow them to do things like this.

True, the one thing humans are suppose to be superior at. We clearly are not stronger, faster in terms of ability but what puts us ahead of animals is we are supposedly more intelligent. :laugh2:

How does a guy like that get a wife...let alone a hot one?

Also, I don't know if domesticated bears are different, but I wouldn't be shocked if somewhere down the line he looked at Brutus crooked, and that's that.

I'm expecting that that will happen sooner or later.

Generally I'd say as much too. Bart the Bear, of The Edge and Legends of the fall seems to have broken that stereotype though. He died without ever mauling his trainer or any actors on set.

I have a ton of respect for Wolves.
 
OT but I worked in a mountain resort town once and my manager at the time told me a story about a time he had to kill a bear.

He said he was in Alaska and was carrying what amounts to a hand cannon. Something like The Joker shoots down the Batwing with in the original Batman.

Anyway, he said the Bear stalked him for a bit and then finally came after him. He unloaded all he had and the Bear dropped.

Then the guy lowers his voice and explains to me that he kept "the pecker-bone".

At this point I became very disinterested and barely recall him explaining they have some sort of value or something like that.
