Excellent story! I shot some photos in Yellowstone, too, but managed to keep a safe distance from wildlife, including Bisons. However, look here - an ice bear "testing" Canon equipment: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/cat/10358/display/29147204 Not sure though if the 70-200 was dropped intentionally or if the entire sequence was faked - still a sad day for a fine lens... Cheers, Volker Hi Roger!

Not sure though if the 70-200 was dropped intentionally or if the entire sequence was faked – still a sad day for a fine lens…

Cheers,

If it was Canon, he would have posed and preened for the camera, I have no doubt... The bear was just mad at somebody trying to take his picture with Nikon equipment.

Using the D4 width as a reference, the bear is approximately 5' tall when standing up. Pffft, I would have just wrestled with him :) The photographer isn’t tall, the bear happens to be small.
