Google “grizzly bears with video equipped collars”. A research team collared 4 bears in Alaska with collars that were triggered to record when the bear hit a certain level of activity. One bear recorded 44 calf kills in 25 days and the other three killed about 30 calves on average.
It’s also interesting to note that the bio’s in Alaska are willing to prove that bears kill enough ungulates to harm the population.
The bear and wolf defenders are partially correct when then say that predators only kill the old and the weak; new born calves are definitely weak.
