Abstract
Observations of Black Bears (Ursus americanus) feeding on adult Moose (Alces alces) are rare. Black Bears prey on Moose calves and have been reported to scavenge on adult Moose, but there has been no documentat ion to suggest that adult Moose are preyed on by Black Bears. We repor t evidence for one radio-collared adult male Black Bear killing and co nsuming an adult female Moose in the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve, Ont ario, during May 1992.
