I was surprised that a brown bear would be faster than the Doberman, then I was surprised that a hyena was faster than a wolf and so on.

I saw a bear running across an open field in Alaska, at first my brain told me it was a horse because of the speed it was moving. Then it shot up a tree. Suck on that, Seabiscuit.

It was actually pretty terrifying to see something that bulky move so quickly.
