LARGE MALE GRIZZLY BEAR CHASES FEMALE BLACK BEAR AND HER CUB:
Description:
"The male grizzly was foraging near the water when the female and cub appeared. Eventually the Grizzly chases the black bear and her cub into a tree while standing at its base. The black bear gets down and drives the Grizzly back down to the water to give time for the cub to get down and escape."

This is the first time i see a black bear offer some resistance to a grizzly bear, the grizzly won at the end though:
Black Bear takes on a Grizzly over a dead bison - Yellowstone National Park, Boulder Lake
"A rather large Black Baer boar shows up to Grizzly bison party with only a table for one. Not willing to back down the Black Bear runs the Grizzly off until he decides he might have the advantage and wits to take on the Black Bear. Watch through the end as another apex animal shows up for leftovers. Yellowstone National Park @yellowstonewolves"

The survival rate estimate for cubs weaned to one year was 0.45 (95% CI = 0.33, n = 20). Mortality sources for cubs were largely unknown, but we did document instances of suspected grizzly bear predation on 2 denned female black bears with cubs. Among adults through June 1998, we documented mortality only among males. Two adult males died of unknown causes, 1 of which was observed being eaten by an adult black bear. Another male was killed by a grizzly bear and another was harvested by a hunter. The mean annual survival rate for adult males was 0.86 (95% CI = 0.25, n = 15). The mean annual survival rate in 1997 was lower than 1995 (Z = 1.97, P = 0.02).

Grouse grizzlies kill black bear cub
THE recent killing of a black bear cub by Grouse Mountain's resident grizzlies was an example of nature taking its course, according to a representative for the resort. The incident, which took place Oct.
THE recent killing of a black bear cub by Grouse Mountain's resident grizzlies was an example of nature taking its course, according to a representative for the resort.
The incident, which took place Oct. 2 but which was not made widely public until the Vancouver Sun ran a story this week, was unfortunate, said a spokeswoman, but was ultimately a reality of bear behaviour.
"(The grizzlies) behave how that they would in nature," said Sarah Lusk, a spokeswoman for Grouse. "This is the first incident the bears have had in the 10 years that they've been here with a black bear."
The roughly nine-month old cub worked its way under the fence that contains the mountain's two rescued grizzlies, Grinder and Coola, at about 5: 30 p.m. Oct. 2. A small number of visitors watched helplessly as the resident bears attacked the intruder and killed it. Resort employees were unable to intervene for safety reasons, said Lusk.
"Our wildlife staff were immediately on the scene, but couldn't do anything to save the cub," she said.
They were forced to wait until the grizzlies were in another portion of the enclosure before entering to retrieve the body.
The mountain reviewed the incident, said Lusk, but ultimately concluded it didn't warrant changes to the way in which the bears are managed.
Christine Miller, education co-ordinator for the North Shore Black Bear Society, was generally in agreement.
"It was rather unfortunate," she said. "But I'm not out to point a finger at Grouse."
That grizzlies will kill black bear cubs is an unpleasant fact of nature, said Miller. "In the wild, they certainly could eat it," she said. "(But) these guys are well fed, so it was probably more of a territorial thing; they kill things that enter their space."

We see quite a number of accounts of grizzlies killing black bears. Would it be a bold statement to say that polar bears will soon prey on black bears if they meet long enough in Churchill?
