Bears are generally omnivores, except for polar bears and bamboo specialists

Lack of moths is a big factor in grizzly bear declines

I suspect if you had enough cougars, you'd have fewer hobos. I think that problem would "take care of itself."

There are plenty of truly wild places left in California. That may be hard to grasp from somewhere like the L.A. basin, the Bay Area, and other large population centers, but but a few days spent up north in places like Humboldt County, or up in the Sierra Nevada range, and places like that would demonstrate just how much wilderness remains in California. These areas would be eminently suitable for a large scale reintroduction of the Golden Bear.
;)
I've flown to/from the LA area and SF area a few times, and you do fly over what looks from the air like some pretty rugged unpopulated land.

EWwwwwwww
Bears are omnivores. They will eat fish, deer, wolves, coyotes, buffalo, and people if hungry enough.

What kind of bear eats bamboo?

I get to work in very remote places. this is the northern west coast of BC. If i knew how to post a vid here, I have one of a very large black grizzly from fairly close. like 20 feet close. the black bears here live on the slopes because if they get caught in the valley they are eaten. SmileWavy

Maybe, but then you have cougars getting hepatitis


I for one welcome our cougar overlords

Pandas eat bamboo.

I could see this coming. However, I think it's been determined that Pandas ARE bears.

Koala bears definitely aren't bears. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

RWebb 03-10-2020 12:23 PM
Pandas (the black & white ones that eat bamboo) are indeed bears; genetic analyses place them in the Ursidae.

The animal sometimes called the Red Panda, which looks like a raccoon is a... raccoon (Procyonidae).

For the life of me, I cannot understand why our modern day wildlife organizations - the same ones that have put so much effort into, for example, wolf recovery - are not all over this. It seems like an obvious "next step" towards restoring the natural balance of the State of California.

By what? Hillbillies? You have to be WT with no TP to eat bear meat.

That bear in the opening video looked like he'd had a Keith Richards dose of his daily "happy" pills.

Just like a seahorse is not a fish? :D. Wikipedia is your friend.

it's not a biggie - scientists were unsure until some years ago anyway

Jeff Higgins 03-11-2020 12:46 PM
They are, however, convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt that bears do, in fact, schitt in the woods. And that the Pope is Catholic.

But does it make any noise?

only if it falls over

Watching that mountain biker video reminds need me of a time About 30 years ago when mtn bikes were relatively new. Just for fun I rented one in the wilds of BC Canada, and hauled @$$ about 5 miles out into a deep forest by myself. Was having a good time until the thought finally entered my thick skull, what if?

i quickly turned around, kept the speed down since visibility was really limited and whistled loudly all the way back hopefully not announcing meals on wheels. When returning the bike I saw the bear warning signs. Dumb-@$$.

Shameless plug: One book in my signature is all about bear attacks and it’s not the Happiness one in case easily confused. ;)
