His buffalo must have had his own problems with a wolf.

I was talking to my dad about this and he mentioned that in a real event, the bear would not simply go back to her cubs after the mountain lion ran off. It would go after you. If the mountain lion was close enough to piss off the bear and send it into Protect Cub Mode, the guy was close enough as well.

That's his opinion but it sounds logical to me.



It really all depends on how much contact the bear has had with humans and whether they've ever bothered her cubs before. There is a momma bear up at my hunting camp that will let us go right up to her and her cubs and feed her/them and even sorta pet them... but if our dogs get within 100 yards of them she'll go ballistic and into defense mode. As a cub she was abandoned by her mother and actually protected and raised by the camp owners, so she doesn't view us as a threat. I'm not entirely that's a good thing, but its kinda cool. She doesn't bring the cubs around to us too often so their interaction with humans is a lot less, so they may be more aggressive when they grow up.

Too bad Trayvon didn't have a guardian bear.
