Grizzly Behavior

It's really amazing just how little we know about these animals in their natural environment. What's even more amazing is folks who will venture into their world with no knowledge of their behavior. Watch as a group of film makers, out in the B.C. back country filming an appliance commercial, are approached by a rather large grizzly. Fortunately for them, they had the good sense to hire an experienced guide, who in turn had the good sense to bring a pretty serious bear stompin' rifle. It was touch and go for awhile...

Just another BS misleading post.

The 'bear' approaches the washing machine and then removes his fur to wash it in the machine. I didn't bother watching anything after that.

Entertaining but the average grizzly bear enthusiast knows that grizzlies hibernate before you get that kind of snow.

I should have played it backwards like a C and W song. Would have made more sense.....

There was a guy several years ago that "became" a grizzly, living with them as if he were a grizzly.
Even took his girlfriend up there to live with the grizzlies. Then the bears ate both of em all up.
EOS.

I've heard a few. The ones I liked contained some semblance of humor instead of a line of BS.

Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.

We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-f-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him is case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear **** has bells in it and smells like pepper.

You know what, I think I'm quite comfortable with the snakes and spiders here, considering they won't drag me out of my tent.

bears are intelligent, curious and powerful animals

that is why monkeys build strong cages to photo in

I remember that story, Sammy. They went looking for him and only found a rib cage.
