I live in suburbia, but early this morning when opening the back door I startled a mama black bear and her 2 cubs as they were decimating our bird feeders. They immediately took off running, but one cub ran up a fence post. The second cub returned to get him and then both followed mama around the corner and out of sight. So cool, but it all happened too fast. I wish I could have gotten pictures.
We will start bringing our bird feeders in the house overnight; no need to get the bears in trouble by having them so close to people.
"If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.
If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, but cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them, too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate expects you to wake up growling. He expects that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup, I wanna be a bear."
