Turns out that living in caves is not all that and a bag of chips:
A bear killed two militants after discovering them in its den in Indian-administered Kashmir, police say.
Two other militants escaped, one of them badly wounded, after the attack in Kulgam district, south of Srinagar.
The militants had assault rifles but were taken by surprise – police found the remains of pudding they had made to eat when the bear attacked.
There’s a reason why civilized people live in houses.


Mmmmmmm tasty. Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewey on the inside. And pudding for dessert!
Call Sarah, we need more bears!
Man-o-man, all those Black Bears over-running places like Penn. with bears in every ones back yard? Get out the tranq. guns and strap parachutes on ‘em, load ‘em onto a C-17/141 and parachute ‘em in. LOTs
of caves to make their home and muy crunchies for them to frolic with….A
GREAT “secret” weapon with which to terrorize terrorists!
I think if I saw a bear coming at me in a cave, I’d make pudding, too!
Reminds me of the scene in “Cryptonomicon” in which Shaftoe was about to get splattered, when the Nip machine-gunners in the cave were fortuitously, nay, deus-ex-mechanically, eaten by giant lizards.
There are those who say that the Muj ain’t sh!t…how wrong they are – at least in the case of the two who got eaten…
When hunting dangerous game it is often said that the ideal time to strike is when their attention is elsewhere, such as when eating or focused upon a potential mate.
The bear seems to have known this. The tool-using, smartest-animal-on-the-planet living in the cave? Not so much.

Doesn’t the Koran forbid Muslims from being eaten by a bear? Guess no virgins for them.
Reminds of a bummper sticker the daughter of old friends used to have:
Beware of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
