No because they are both dominant species and I imagine if a cougar actually did attack a bear the bear would hold it's ground
Bear, coyote, wolf, mountain lion...
bear? There is no animal that will purposely stalk and kill a mountain lion for food, but any scavenger (hawks, crows, coyotes, bears) would eat a dead one it happened to find. And of course, insects will, too.
A lion could easily escape a bear, and a lion would not be easy for a bear to kill.
I don't know & I don't care
you would let them eat a bear because people are more important
A mountain lion is at the top of the food chain but humans might eat a mountain lion. If a mountain lion dies, it will be eaten by scavengers.
It is unlikely that a lion would typically target a bear as prey due to the bear's size and strength. While lions have been known to scavenge from bear kills, direct confrontations between the two species are rare.
Yes, if it was hungry. Mountain lions eat most things including people.
If mountain lions were to become extinct, anything that mountain lions eat would increase in population because there wouldn't be any mountain lion to hunt them.
If you see a mountain lion, it has already decided not to eat you. Otherwise, you would not see it until it jumped on you to attack.
Yes. A bear can and will eat a mountain goat after it killed one.
Not an African or Asian lion, no, since bears and these types of lions are not found in the same vicinity as the other. But a mountain lion? It's possible, but not documented.
