I have just uploaded an extended version of the fight    • Epic Bear Fight  EXTENDED EDITION  ...  
You asked, I listened....here is the full fight without music....
Recorded 3 June 2023 Filmed from a boat...
We were watching a tranquil scene of 2 bears shagging on the beach…we thought how lovely…something you don’t see very often. Then we noticed another bear making its way towards them…he was on a mission…and he went in for the attack while our 2 lovers were still joined. She made a hasty departure. The guide we were with said the aggressor had killed and eaten a cub the day before…he seemed to have the blood lust…it was the longest 20 minutes of my life…I felt sick watching it but I knew this was a once in a lifetime encounter. At the 12.45 mark you will see a lone bear in the water…she was hanging around watching the whole thing (not the original female…she was long gone) hoping for some male attention. (We were told she is too young to mate and the males are ignoring her.) We thought it was all over at this stage….both bears had gone their separate ways but they met up again in the bushes…that is when Round 2 started…they went at it for about another 5 minutes…they were so exhausted…they both walked off in the end.
