OK so about week or so ago, I had a bear show up here with two cubs,( get a LOT of bears here and know this one well, she is a 3 yr old and first time with cubs of her own)
I watched her carrying one in her mouth and all the while the poor cub was swing back and forth wild like, as was holding it oddly and the thing was swinging crazy like, I watched her go in woods behind my yard for a few minutes and then came out with just the one cub, I didn't have camera handy, but would have loved to captured that,
but she has been back many times since, still carry's this one off and on, seen her carrying it by its face, its nose, a ear, a leg , and she just doesn';t seem to know how to carry it when she wants too, the poor cub, runs up a tree every time she drops it, and then when she calls it down, it winces when she goes to grab it, or just runs back up the tree to get away, I gather its sore from being man handled by mom! LOL
this poor cub(a male) is either going to also get killed by mom, or grow up to be one tuff bugger LOL
any how, I keep a kiddie poll in my yard for critters, have food plow down back and countless tings come up for a drink, or like today, a soak in the pool, wasn';t fast enough to get bears in pool on camera, but you can see there all wet
also keep water dish there too, as pool gets pretty dirty, have to rinse out every other day, so always try to keep clean water there ?
makes for fun sits on the deck watching things play in pools, from cubs, to baby coons to fawns, they all seem to like the pools
bears DO break them about once a yr, I buy them after summer at close out's at wally world or dollar stores for like .50 cents each, buy 5-10 at a time and keep a few on hand , as a bear some times doesn't fit and squashes the sides and they then crack and leak, but there simple things have to see cool things!!
and that is a OLD apple tree there in/standing next too, that poor tree is so clawed marked up its not funny, one of many in the yard, 50+ yr old tree's are tuff tyree's! LOL
