: Other than man, do bears have any predators?
: Will other predators (including other bears) eat a bear, if they found a carcass?
Neighbor Joe,
Grizzly bears are at the top of the food chain so except for direct competitition for space or food, no predator seeks out grizzlies. On occasion, other bears may kill one another in a competitive sense as well as mountain lions or wolves. If another predator (including a bear) came upon a bear carcass, they may use it as a food source especially during times of low food.
