Sometime later, Snotlout and the twin were exploring the forest. But it looks there's nothing but trees for miles.
But then they found of interest.
The 3 soon found a cave, and Tuffnut was the one who dared entered inside.
But then, moments later, a growl was heard. And then Tuffnut stepped nervously outside.
"What did you do?" Snotlout asked nervously.
And then, a large bear stepped outside and saw the 3. He then roars aggressively, proving that he wasn't happy.
Snotlout and the twins have chosen the wrong creature to disturb.
The 3 Riders started backing up, and the bear stands upright and tall.
Cave Bears, stand 13 feet tall. Weighing up to 3 quarters of a ton. And are more muscular than any other bear.
The 3 stumble and fell back, but quickly got up. And started running for their lives.
"I blame you for this!" Snotlout screamed.
The Cave Bear growls, and then starts chasing after them.
The 3 ran as fast as they cloud, but 4 legs beats 2 every time.
Cave Bears can charge at 30 miles an hour.
And the bear was soon able to catch up to them.
"Ah! Heel! Heel" Tuffnut yelled. "Nice big bear!"
Then the 3 quickly climbed up a tree, and got over 20 feet off the ground. And Snotlout narrowly avoided getting hit by the bear's paw.
The Cave Bear stands on his hinds looking up at them and growls.
"Hookfang, where are you?!" Snotlout screamed.
"Barf, Belch, get your tails over here!" Ruff yelled.
Then there was a gas explosion, and the bear soon leaves.
And then, Hookfang and Barf and Belch appeared.
Cave Bears may be huge, but luckily they can't climb trees.
"Crazy bear." Tuff climbing on to Belch.
"You're telling me." Ruff climbing on Barf.
"I hate this." Snotlout muttered and climbed on Hookfang.
And then they took off.
Meanwhile, the Cave Bear has returned to his cave.
Cave Bears were once a common sight on mainland North America.
But of course they're extinct now. But on this island, some have managed to survive while their mainland inhabitants died out.
But with the climate changing, and with global warming. Their habitat is disappearing on this island, as well as their food supply.
And sadly, he is the last of his kind.
It's easy to tell that the bear was hibernating in the cave. And chased the Riders because they woke him.
And his other mainland relatives, the Polar Bear, the Grizzly and Black Bear are very much adapting still. Polar Bears live on the sea ice of the Arctic hunting seals and Beluga Whales. While the Grizzly and Black are living on what they can sniff out on the mainland.
And soon, the last Cave Bear on Earth, walks back into his cave. to sleep.
