The grizzly is especially afraid of the foremost bull, who, with his colossal head lowered, his mouth covered with foam, and his tail raised in air, presents an impressive picture of unbridled strength and savagery. The battle cannot be greatly prolonged. According to trustworthy accounts a grizzly can overcome a single bison, but against a whole herd of these powerful creatures he is of little avail. Accordingly the grizzly, who can run very fast, now either makes off at his best pace, or, remaining, is gored to death by the sea of horns that heaves about him.
