Workers watch grizzly kill juvenile female brown bear
SITKA, Alaska (AP) - About 20 workers at the Greens Creek mine witnessed a juvenile brown bear get attacked, killed and partially eaten by a slightly larger bear.
At first, Oelklaus said, the juvenile bear passed through the area at a trot, with the larger bear still far behind. As the larger bear got closer, the juvenile broke out into an all-out run, before ultimately being caught and killed in a brief fight.
"It was a pretty gruesome example of survival of the fittest around a group of people," he said.
