Based on how they evolved, I'm gonna assume that occasional aggression is pretty normal, just like with any other animal

You mean how they evolved eating berries, insects, rummaging in the dirt, etc? Their time for aggression is few and far between, mainly about mating and protecting their cubs.

Bears will definitely fight each other over the best fishing spot, berry patch, or other food source. During the fall they sometimes get a little more aggressive as they really want to fatten up.
