A homeowner in Coquitlam, British Columbia recently filmed two wild black bears fighting in her driveway.
 
Some time later, conservation officers responded and found the boars were still facing off against one another.
 
“They could have been fighting over a sow or they could have been fighting over territory,” said Officer Cody Ambrose.
 
The bears reportedly made threatening moves toward people and pets. Ambrose said the two wouldn’t leave the area, and if relocated, would likely do the same thing at another residence. So, he dispatched both animals.

Great video, I wonder who got the bears?

Hey British Columbia Law Enforcement,
June and July is breeding season for black bears. The two big boars were fighting for the territorial breeding rights. Both bears happen to meet up in somebody driveway. Moose, elk, deer and big horn sheep also fight for breeding rights. These bears did not give a hoot about a neighborhood dog or a person. All they wanted to do was fight with each other until one quit and ran off. I guess any species of wildlife will be shot on the spot if they brawl in a British Columbia neighborhood.

Here in Cody, Wyoming it is not terribly unusual to see a black or grizzly bear in one's driveway. Even the occasional lion shows up. Never saw any of them battle it out for rights.
