So, guess who wins.
With all of the camera angles it makes a person wonder how this was filmed. They can't hardly say that "No animals were harmed in the making if this film".

Dedicated to remembering how it was “back then”, and Tales about the Eel River Valley, and the wisdom of the people that live there. With a big emphasis on; “Language has never been about correctness, it has always been about communicating”. We live in one small bubble of place and time that peace is thought of as ideal, we should revel in it! We cant judge what happened in history by who we are now.

"The sound "squaw," regardless of its spelling, is OUR word for woman, and it is NOT to be used as an insult! When I hear it spoken by Native peoples, in its proper context, I hear the voices of the ancestors. I am reminded of powerful grandmothers who nurtured our people and fed the strangers, of proud women chiefs who stood up against them, and of mothers and daughters and sisters who still stand here today. In their honor I demand that our language, our women, and our history, be treated with respect.
Thank you for listening."

Quotes from Richard Dawkins:
...Anybody who thinks you need religion in order to be good is being good for the wrong reason. I’d rather be good for moral reasons. Morals were here before religion, and morals change rather rapidly in spite of religion. Even people who rely on the Bible use nonbiblical criteria. If your criteria are scriptural, you have no basis for choosing the verse that says turn the other cheek rather than the verse that says stone people to death. So you pick and choose without guidance from the Bible...
...I draw strength from reflecting on what a privilege it is to be alive and what a privilege it is to have a brain that’s capable in its limited way of understanding why I exist and of reveling in the beauty of the world and the beauty of the products of evolution. The magnificence of the universe and the sense of smallness that gives us in space and in geologically deep time is humbling but in a strangely comforting way. It’s nice to feel you’re part of a hugely bigger picture...

Ernie, my wildlife lovin' friend,
I know a wildlife filmmaker and I can tell you that the other angles beyond the main angle were taken at a seperate time. And possibly...actually, probably, they were trained animals. Filmmaker Marty Stouffer admits to creating scenes for the sake of the film. In fact, I have done the very same thing featuring a herd of deer, an eagle and a mountain lion. The deer were shot one place, the close up of the eagle and the mountain lion were shot up at Wildlife Images in Grants Pass. Through tricky editing, we were able to have the mountain lion stalk the deer and to have the bald eagle fly away as the deer were running. Don't believe everything you see on YouTube or TV for that matter.
My guess? Trained animals.
Oh, and welcome back!
Thanks for the welcome... it's good to be back!
My guess was that it was trained animals, but that possibility makes that film even more incredible. It looked to me like the lion was really biting the bears ears and really clawing it. The bear looked like it was more than happy to leave. Plus the lions… udder? Is full.
Great film making at any rate.
Staged or not, DON'T MESS WITH MAMA!
Can it really be possible to train a mountain lion, or even a grizzly bear?
With the mountain lion, that seems as likely as training a great white shark.
As for grizzlies, yes I know they get trained, but what about that guy who wanted to live with the bears and ended up getting eaten (there was a movie)?
I always wonder about these films too.
