circuszooanimals.blogspot.com/2011/05/disastrous-circus-act-polar-bear-vs.html Sunday, May 8, 2011 A disastrous circus act. Polar Bear vs Boar Hound In 1912 Wirth's Circus were performing in Melbourne. During their polar bear act they had included a boar hound. It would be natural that an adult polar bear would see a dog as its prey. After this incident the act that included dogs was discontinued. BEAR AND A BOAR HOUND. THRILLING FIGHT IN CIRCUS POINTS DECISION AGAINST POLAR CHAMPION MELBOURNE,- Nov 14. A thrilling fight took place between a Polar bear and a powerful boar hound in full view of the spectators at Wirth's Circus. The incident occurred during the performance by the Polar bears, one of which, without warning, rushed the boar-hound while it was seated on a stool awaiting its turn in the proceedings. The bear viciously hugged the dog, which, in turn, showed fight. Herr Schmidt, the trainer, at once took in the situation, and began beating the bear across the nose, while many attendants. prodded both bear and dog, and in every way attempted to separate them. Whenever the bear relaxed its grip, the boar-hound returned to the attack, but it was; always underneath, and in evident danger of being killed. After the conflict had lasted 10 minutes, and both animals had received a violent beating, a separation was effected, and the bear went to went to its corner, ‘feeling and looking very sick’ and blood-bespattered, while the boarhound, which will not again be introduced into the performance during the remainder of the season, looked very little, the worse after the trouble. The other bears in the cage looked on during the attack, and not one stirred from its position. - Grey River Argus (N.Z) 23 November 1912

"Berlin's Tierpark zoo says a baby polar bear born last month has died, less than a year after its mother lost another cub.
The zoo said the cub, which hadn't been named, appeared healthy on Monday but zookeepers found it dead when they checked a surveillance camera on Tuesday. It said that an autopsy is being carried out on the cub, which was 26 days old.
Tonja's first cub, Fritz, died of unknown causes in March at the age of four months.
The mortality rate for young polar bears is about 50 percent and can be even higher during the first 10 days."What should be asked here are the conditions in which they kept the bear.

Recent video from CarbonBrief of what looks like a polar bear pair (mates?) and some of their life in the day. Much more active than people think.

www.newschannel5.com/news/bear-destroys-car-after-getting-trapped-inside Bear Destroys Car After Getting Trapped Inside GATLINBURG, Tenn. - A black bear ripped the inside of a vehicle to shreds after it became trapped inside. According to Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency officials, the bear opened the unlocked vehicle in Gatlinburg Wednesday. It then became trapped and did everything it could to get out. TWRA officials reminded and encouraged everyone in the area to lock their car doors and never leave food inside their vehicles. "Thieves are least of your worry’s with hungry bears roaming around! Unfortunately, this occurs all too often around the Smoky Mountains," read the TWRA Facebook Post.

What type of bear was it? |

It was an Asiatic black bear. I'm still unclear on what happened that the bear had to be shot dead. The animals escaped due to a heavy flood.

Nice find Kodiak. Yes, from the grizzly scientists are seeking a cure for obesity and possibly diabetes. Also, because ta bite or scratch from a bear, unlike from a cat or a canine, does not become infected, bears are being studied for new antibiotics. |

BEAR HUNTING! It's a damn good thing for sport-hunters that I do not have super powers! Legally I would be listed as a super menace - but there would be more bears in the woods.

My god those grizzlies got those 2 cowards good, that is the best news i got in a long time. Maybe they will start learning not to piss the grizzlies off.
“He leaves a wife and five children” not my problem, could not care less, the coward was going to leave the bear family without his father.

Quote: In my opinion, the judge who foolishly put a hold on the hunt while he considers whether or not it was appropriate to de-list the grizzlies, must think he knows more than wildlife biologists, scientists and managers. Some people ain't got a clue. |
