Two bears clash on a road in British Columbia, a few meters from a young woman filming the scene. His video, very impressive, quickly became viral.
When you know the power of the jaw of a grizzly bear and the size of its claws, we can only be impressed by this fight of titans. In Canada, Cari McGillivray was fortunate to be able to film very close - but safe in his car - the fierce, ruthless duel between two bears determined to fight.
The impressive September 20 scene on a British Columbia road already has nearly 5 million views and more than 91,000 shares.
This is just justice: it shows unmistakably the highly codified phases of this type of confrontation. The two animals are gauged, mouth against mouth, cries and grunts being supposed to impress the opponent. Then comes the actual physical combat, with teeth, with claws, mass against mass.
As often, the most imposing animal takes over. All under the gaze of a wolf, interested but who obviously prefers to keep his distance. We understand it.
"This encounter with wildlife was, by far, one of the best of my life," Carri told The Globe and Mail . We understand it too.
