Black bear did NOT get the memo

This is griz biz, mister bear. How sad for Mr. Weaver.

Alaska bear fatality

... or maybe he did.... I've heard of other black bear attacks in Alaska.

And there is this: http://health.usnews.com/health-news/die...rare-but-rising

Yes, black bears have been known to stalk and kill humans in Alaska. Unusual for sure, but documented.

MNS

Perhaps it's symptomatic of the changing times: warmer, drier weather, and more human encroachment that what's the norm.

That guy has some gumption! I doubt I could charge a black bear charging me...

Have you guys seen this?

What kills me is the sheepish look on the bear's face as he departs...

You're right. That bear's expression looked more like a curious dog's than anything.

How about this one: http://www.newsminer.com/news/alaska_new...1a4bcf6878.html

Good grief. I can hear, "Hey y'all, watch this!" all the way from here.

Sheesh.

When they say bears are good climbers, looks like they're not kidding!

cheers,
