Do bears get eaten by any animal?

The bear is what is known as an apex predator; it preys upon other animals but no other animal preys upon the bear (not counting parasites; bears can have ticks, for example, which eat part of the bear, but not the whole bear). Of course, bears do not live forever, and when they die, lots of other animals can eat them. But no animal kills bears to eat them, not counting humans (bear paws are considered a delicacy in China).
