Black bears are faster than you think downhill.
People always forget just how fast bears can run. However, a recent video out of Montana is helping to put that speed into perspective a little bit. A short clip uploaded to Instagram by the Montana Knife Company that appears to show a black bear galloping down a mountain in pursuit of a downhill mountain biker.
This footage was allegedly shot in Whitefish, Montana. It is unclear if the biker is aware of the black bear that is hot on his heels through this encounter. Either way, it makes for an impressive sight to see this bruin running downhill as fast as a bike.

APRIL 20--A passenger sunk her teeth into the neck of an Uber driver and choked the victim from behind in a bloody, unprovoked assault, according to court records.
Police say that Michele Stilwell, 55, was seated behind the victim as he drove his Toyota near Stilwell’s St. Petersburg residence late Saturday afternoon.
While the car was in motion, Stilwell “reached forward and proceeded to choke the victim from behind,” according to a criminal complaint. Stilwell (seen at right) initially throttled the driver with her two hands and then wrapped an arm around his throat, cops charge.
As the 22-year-old driver sought to pull over the vehicle, Stilwell “managed to crawl forward onto the center console...and bite the victim deeply on the neck drawing blood.” Stilwell then scratched the driver across the chest, “causing a large red in color mark with traces of blood visible.”
The attack did not stop there, investigators allege: “The defendant continued to bite, strangle, and claw at the victim who was unable to defend himself as he was being attacked from behind.”
