A seven-month-old bear can outrun the fastest horse and leap a corral fence.

Evidence

It is a very ugly thing at seven months old, with a thick beard, and a short, thick, dark mane on its heavy shoulders. It makes a loud grunt like a pig. It can outrun their fastest horse, and it sometimes leaps over the high fence of the corral, and takes all the milk of five cows. — Isabella L. Bird, A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains, 191
