Alligators in southeastern united states will occasionally kill and feed on black bears. Humans will also hunt and eat bears, and male bears won't hesitate eating a bear cub or two if it comes across it. Vultures, ravens, magpies, beetles, flies, bacteria, wolves, coyotes and various other scavengers will eat a dead bear carcass.
