Cool, but it would somehow seem more fitting on a Tesla.

Black bear attacks are incidental and rare, usually associated with a surprised bear or a bear with a cub. Simply being noisy while walking through woodland is usually enough to ensure you never even see a bear.

My Maine my excellent compatriot (previous got adapted for forum rules, let's go with Felis catus) was fighting me for alpha status of our household at 6mo. He still gets ornery if I have to put him in check for being aggressive with our other pets. If he was the size of a bobcat, I have no doubt he would have made a few attempts on my life already.

Heard about this, but what the hell? His leg just crumpled??!
Not/didn't watch...but if he caught it between his other and the mat...

Friend was taking his trash out at his apartment. Icy lot, compound fracture of his ankle when he slipped and levered against the other. Idaho, so thankfully someone saw him or he might have frozen to death. EMS gave him morphine before trying to stabilize his foot.

I provided three current examples of black bear fatalities, two of which were apparently unprovoked and one occurred even in the presence of dogs. There are more. IIRC attacks are increasing as well, more human exposure and bears adapting. I would argue it's attacks by big domesticated cats that are incidental and rare. One is wild, one isn't. I also don't find predatory feeding instincts to be a behavioral analog to your example of hierarchical strife, but maybe that's just me. Competition != food. As a fellow owner of that breed of cat, my experience has been different. Quite a mouser and very at ease around dogs, very intelligent, but overall a big goofy baby. Bengal tiger not found, no fisher cat here either. I think that example does apply to mustelids though. If fishers and mink and weasels and such got as big as bears we'd all would have been wiped out long ago. Those things destroy.

Ruckus attacks me on a daily basis. If he weighed another ten pounds, he would try to eat me. It isn't that he is frightened or mad, he just enjoys violence.

I really don't get why phones don't just fix this in software now.
There's nothing to fix. The vast majority of viewers are watching on their phones so vertical is the appropriate format for the dominant consumption device. Geezers need to get hip to the times.

Vertical video almost always sucks because we live on a horizontal plane and the horizontal viewing angle sucks vertically. No reason to accept shitty video just because people are too lazy to turn their phones.
