Smoky Mountain Black Bear versus Wild Boar

Saw this earlier and thought y’all would enjoy. Nature is brutal. Cool video nonetheless.

I just realized the link went bad. I fixed it.

Wow. Don’t see that every day

 

[Rob5589]

Wild! And right next to the road.

Very cool video catch.


Though having just hiked the section of the AT above Gatlinburg last year... Also just a tad uncomfortable.

Was the hog crippled from being hit by a vehicle or had the bear just worked it over that good?

A wild hog is one tough animal. It had to have been hit by a car. I wonder if it recovered and eventually ran off. I would love to know some follow up.

Wow. I like the comment "this is gettin' National Geographic".

Good for the bear.

It looks like the bear has chewed on his spine, don’t think the hog won this one.

Yeah I think that hog had to be hit by a car because otherwise he would be goring the heck out of that bear when the bear let’s go.

First of all, that bear would never catch a hog of that size. And if it did, it wouldn't have any front legs left to stand on. Plus it would probably be gutted by now.

Judging the size of a bear is tricky, but that seems like a big one right there.

I saw a video from a different angle. At the end when the bear ran up the hill a little ways you could see a large (probably bigger than a softball) area where the skin was completely gone from the bear's bite and hold, if you will. It was big enough for me to think there is no way that hog is recovering.

Thats the one!

The point I'm trying make is that bear could never catch and kill a healthy hog of that size. A healthy hog would rip that bear to shreds. The hog had to have been hit by a car.

Thats crazy, great share, thanks. Both the bear and hog are big. But man, you ever seen a bear smile?! The look on that bears face is nothing but pride and happiness!!

That thing is a big bear too
