HOMER, Alaska (May 9) -- Odd sounds outside their home woke Gary and Terri Lyon early Sunday morning, so Gary got up to check it out. He looked outside and saw a 500-pound grizzly bear killing an adult moose in their driveway.

"I saw this wildlife spectacle of a full-grown brown bear on a moose and the moose fighting for its life," Gary said.

The couple put their dog inside, grabbed their cameras and started filming the attack as the grizzly battled the moose down the driveway, finally killing it. They posted the video on YouTube.

"She tore apart the chest cavity, ripped out the heart and ate it," Gary said. "It was like she knew that's what kept it alive."

Experienced predators are taught to hunt by their parents. Of course she knew. Predators are often quite expert at their craft. That expertise keeps them well fed, and alive.

You should see bears peeling salmon like banannas before eating them.

Kanawa Bear Ping!

The bear was stomping out Global Warming. Like most ruminants, moose produce huge amounts of methane pollution.

Wow! And the highlight for us was removing a non-poisonous snake from our backyard with screaming children in the background.

Moose and Bear would be cool!

That was wild. There's another YouTube clip of a bear coming after an elk (misidentified as a moose) that's quite impressive... Here
