I thought I had it bad when the paper boy misses my driveway....

HOMER, Alaska (AP) - 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.

I think I'll only post the first one.....

That is a gristly grizzly. My sister lives in bear territory. They had a black bear push open the door to their enclosed porch to get at the dog food. Unfortunately, the bear was not so good at getting out. My B-I-L finally slipped out another door, opened and propped the porch door, and hightailed it back into the house. The bear eventually ambled off after a hearty breakfast of kibble.
(No bears, people, or moose were harmed in the telling of this story.)

ACK! We have had black bears in the San Gabriels here get into backyard spas and into trees etc. Luckily we're not close enough to the mountains to get any visitors ourselves....
