Good God John ----- you don't want to mess with bears. I remember seeing footage of a grizzly (brown bears smaller brother) lifting and moving a 500 lb boulder with one paw to get to a morsel.

The polar bears and browns get all the press but even a small black bear is not something to screw around with. I remember hearing a story about a momma black bear killing two people and wounding a kid in less than a minutes time at a national park.
