Bear (pic, not pet:P)

Since we don't have a RANDOM MAMMALS forum and this doesnt fit worse here than elsewhere - here's a shot of a black bear caught poking around near my parents' house down in Nicholas Co. (I fondly refer to as "green hell").

Didn't you just want to go up and jump on his back? I always wanted to wrestle a bear.

Ride it like a battlebear.

Get it some gold lame paw covers a fancy saddle etc.

I would have taken it in wrestling - easy - I strike fear into the dark hearts of bears.

Oh nice shot and nice bear Matt! We used to live in an area that had both black and grizzly bears (gotta love Canada!). Since black bears can have a cinnamon phase and resemble a young grizz before it grows a humped neck here's a hint on how to tell them apart easily.

#1....run up to bear in question

#2....kick bear in the butt HARD!

#3....run away FAST and climb the nearest tree

If it is in fact a cinnamon phase black bear it will climb up the tree and eat you!

If it is in fact an immature grizzly bear it will just push over the tree....

AND EAT YOU!
