bears

These bears are wandering around in the cool water at Katmai National Park in Alaska.  In this live streaming video you can see them playing in the water and trying to catch salmon in real time! 

Here's a snapshot of what you might see.

This baby bear was spotted by the Nolichucky river side in Tennessee by a rafting guide passing by. Lucky for her, he scooped her up and gave her a ride to dry land in his raft where he called for help. She's happily recovering with the Appalachian Bear Rescue.

A Chinese man bought two puppies that he was told would grow up to become good watch dogs. For two years he took care of them as they grew and acted differently than other dogs. He finally discovered that they were not dogs, but protected Asian black bears when he visited a wildlife exhibit featuring the threatened species of bear. Fortunately he was able to contact the forestry police who found the bears a more suitable home.

Thanks Montville, New Jersey residents for your delicious trash buffet.
