> 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](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/08/lion-killed-intern-swipe-paw-inquest). But not finding anything about a black bear doing this.

Are there any records of this happening?
