Big family

Why didn’t you go up to the bear and greet her properly? Oh....bears attack humans.

So ... this grizzly is likely a cougar?

Looks like the line of customers is forming up for your hummingbird feeder. Git going now, and remember... 1/4 c sugar per 8 oz. water...

"...And no grizzly has done more, through her own behavior, to change a perception that members of her species are temperamental menaces ready to attack people at the slightest provocation..."

I think, with a mammal like that near the top of the food chain, they all have to be treated as if they were "temperamental menaces ready to attack people at the slightest provocation".

I am sure in the bear world, there are mellow, non-aggressive creatures just like there are in the human world.

But I think it is just as much of a mistake to make that non-threatening assumption with bears as it is to make it with humans.

Who is this “399”? Is she smarter than the average bear?

[SMARTY]

Wow! Four of them.... so cute.

We lived in Alaska for 25 years and saw quite a few sows with cubs in the springtime - twins are common, triplets are rare, but quadruplets? Wow.

FTA: And no grizzly has done more, through her own behavior, to change a perception that members of her species are temperamental menaces ready to attack people at the slightest provocation.

Yeah right, just try to walk up the grizzly with her cubs and see what happens.

The big furry Boo-Boos are out up here but I have never seen more than 2 cubs with the Momma. The pic of all 4 cubs and Momma was great!
