The Bear Almanac - Second Edition:

A grizzly bear preying on a moose calf finds the protective mother a formidable foe. Adolf Murie "... watched a mother, followed by her very young calf, determinedly chasing a grizzly and doing her best to overtake it."
An account is related of a Russian brown bear imitating the call of an elk ( moose are called elk in Asia ) during the rutting season, luring the unsuspecting moose to where it would be easier prey.]

The more I learn about the brown bear, the more impressed I become. Among the Carnivora, the brown bear has no equal in terms of brute strength combined with a high level of intelligence and other incredible attributes.

BEARS by Richard Perry:

Even the gigantic moose occasionally falls victom to a grizzly. One has been seen dragging the carcass of a bull moose, weighing upwards of a ton. In his Mammals of North America, Victor H. Cahalane describes how one summer day a fisherman in Yellowstone Park was astonished to see a bull moose dash out of the forest with a grey grizzly clinging and tearing at its hip. The moose succeeded, however, in shaking off its attacker at the edge of the stream and escaped into deep water, leaving the frustrated bear to rage up and down the bank for some hours.
*As a predator of large herbivores, the brown bear is less efficient than the big cats.
