[Atlantic Bridge]

The last German bear was shot in 1835 in Ruhpolding/Bavaria. Therefore the first bear that entered Germany naturally is a big issue on our side of the Atlantic. And we seem to have bad luck since the bear is obviously quite agressive. He entered stables and does not behave like "normal" bears do.

Bavaria. That's the part of Europe my ancestors were run out of.

Slap me and call me bad, but if they opened the job of killing the bear to American dogs and hunters, I think it could be done.

Bruno?

[Khurkris]

In Bad Tölz eh?
Methinks Ol Bruno might have picked a safer place to play in the wood.

I don't know if Chapter 65 is still active or if they've closed down since the hats moved to Stuttgart.

Ahh never mind, the 10th is in Stuttgart

It's probably just as well that the Germans and Austrians are not fighting with us in Iraq.

Bad Tölz. Beautiful area.

That is an interesting track. Do bears usually have such a large migratory pattern?

This is NORMAL bear behavior when bears are not hunted. Here in the Pocono Mountains, about 75 miles from downtown New York City, a bear went into our barn, killed a goat and dragged her out. The other bears have climbed over the fences to our pastures (4' high woven wire), killed sheep and then picked up the sheep and carried them back out of the field. These were adult sheep weighing about 150 lbs.
Bears will eat anything they can get away with. They have killed mostly women and children here in the Eastern USA.

That's an alien bear -- note the similarity of its path
to the constellation Ursa Major:
