Asinine Ursine

Taiga quite liked the wall. It stretched on forever, it was easy to walk beside, it offered a modicum of cover as she moved. The feline found herself walking back and forth daily as she hunted. Often she ran into other predators, but most of the time they turned tail and ran from the impressive lioness. Most times... but not always.

Bears hated Taiga and, with their constant tussles, Taiga was beginning to hate bears. While the black, grey and white cat followed a particularly rich game trail, the scent of grizzly spread thickly in the air, covering up all scent of prey. A low growl wrinkled Taiga's pink nose and her long tail lashed back and forth in annoyance. Instant bad mood.

The massive bear moved down the game trail towards her and Taiga moved down the trail towards it. The grizzly rushed her, swiping out with a big paw and Taiga did the same, her curved claws catching the bears paw pads to draw blood. There was surprise on the bears face, but it was quickly replaced with anger. The area was too narrow for a big brawl, but that didn't seem to matter. The bear dove towards her anyway.
