No Jane Hathaway types, telling you to put a leash on him.

Today’s Round 3 finds 856 facing off against newcomer 504.
856 is a big old bear who spent over a decade as the most aggressively dominant bear at this location. But he is getting old and pushed around by the younger crowd.
504 is an aggressive mama with cubs who does not take shit from aggressive males. This is her first appearance at Fat Bear Week.
Can age and treachery defeat youth and vigor? Age old question…

Alaska’s annual Fat Bear Week contest got off to a delayed start because a female participant known as Bear 402, was killed by a male during a livestreamed fight.
Cameras set up in the park to capture footage of the bears recorded the killing on Monday.
The contest, which is in its tenth year, celebrates the resiliency of the 2,200 brown bears that live in the preserve on the Alaska Peninsula. It allows the public to vote for its favourite “fat bears” from a shortlist.
“National parks like Katmai protect not only the wonders of nature, but also the harsh realities,” Matt Johnson, park spokesman said in a statement. “Each bear seen on the webcams is competing with others to survive.”
The nonprofit http://explore.org, which streams the uncensored bear footage and helps organise Fat Bear Week, hosted a live conversation about the death on Monday. Sarah Bruce, a Katmai National Park ranger, said it was not known why the bears started fighting.
“We love to celebrate the success of bears with full stomachs and ample body fat, but the ferocity of bears is real,” said Mike Fitz, explore.org’s resident naturalist. “The risks that they face are real. Their lives can be hard, and their deaths can be painful.”
