The Giant Animal That Makes the Grizzly Bear Back Down | Animal Documentary

In this Alaska animal documentary, an 800-lb grizzly bear comes face-to-face with a 1,500-lb Alaskan bull moose during the autumn rut in Interior Alaska. The interior grizzly bear is the apex predator of North America—armed with 4-inch claws and a jaw that delivers over 1,100 PSI of crushing bite force. In the Alaskan wilderness, almost everything runs when a grizzly walks down the riverbed. In late September, one animal doesn’t run. Standing 7 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing up to 1,500 pounds, the Alaskan-Yukon bull moose is an armored giant. During the autumn rut, its testosterone surges to 100 times baseline. It charges pickup trucks and freight trains. And when a starving grizzly bear—driven by pre-hibernation hyperphagia and desperation—decides to ambush a prime bull moose in Interior Alaska, the fight doesn’t go the way most people expect.
