a black bear can kill a man (or a dog) with a single swat of its paw.

I suppose anything is possible. But is it realistic? Has it ever happened?

Googling 'man killed by single punch' finds several instance where a person killed a person with one punch. I also find a lion killed a person with a single swipe. But not finding anything about a black bear doing this.

Has a black bear killed a man with single swat?

Are there any records of this happening?
