Nature photographer Tero Pylkkänen recently spied and recorded a pair of brown bears brawling in Finland. The bears apparently stalked each other around the forest for several hours, before going toe-to-toe (or rather claw-to-claw) right in front of him. While their strength is never generally questioned, watch the almost unbelievable speed of these deceptively sized creatures, as they roll around the forest floor in the video above.
