“I dare you”

One of my buddies was returning home from Ignace to Thunder Bay and saw a bear feasting on  a moose carcass.  The moose was obviously long dead, probably victim of a highway drive by.  Many moose meet a terminal fate when they try to share the road with vehicles. 

The rule of the wild is that nothing goes to waste.  Black bears are very opportunistic eaters and will eat whatever is presented.  They will also guard their meal.  This bruin seems to be saying “you talking to me?”  I doubt his table manners are very hospitable since he seems to be daring someone to try and join him in this meal.

I think whoever joins him at this feast will simply become the next feast.
