If you had a shotgun you could make a coat .......................

Fascinating behaviour - it makes me wonder about whether there's such a thing as natural altruism. The bear has apples and carrots and stuff in the cage so there's no need to eat raw wet crow (a choice I would agree with, incidentally). But I would have associated that kind of behaviour with gregarious animals not with solitary creatures. On the other hand, the bear will have very few outlets for its hunting instincts.

On a related note, I saw a crow skimming the surface of a pond earlier this year and taking food (bread?) away from the ducks. Somewhat perilous behaviour. No rescue bears around either. Does anyone know whether feeding like this is common in crows. (Actually, I get really confused trying to identify crows, jackdaws, rooks, etc, so I just call them crows.)

At the risk of adding human motivation, I suspect the bear fished it out thinking it was interesting and / or food. Then totally lost interest when it didn't fancy a seemingly dead crow. Interesting that it didn't do the cat thing of biffing it about for a bit.

in the wild that would have been eaten i reckon but in captivity as it is it happens to have easier better alternatives

Wouldn't firing slugs be a bit messy?

Poor disappointed bear. Were you ever in a really promising situation with a GF when you lifted the bonnet only to be faced with a... a.... well, something resembling that crow?

Words fail me.
