I saw a bear this weekend, at Yosemite.

I still kind of can't believe it.

Bears: You've gotta see them live!

a great experience: putting one's hands on the pool-wall window as huge grizzlies slam into it, fighting underwater

see cranius' pic above

i was in my 30s at the time. still great!

I think he gets to play through, don't you?

World Record Largest (Dead) Bear:



"The attached pictures are of a guy who works for the forest service in Alaska. He was out deer hunting. A large Grizzly bear charged him from about 50 yards away. The guy unloaded a 7mm Mag Semi-auto into the bear and it dropped a few feet from him. (He had to reload and shoot it in the head to kill it). It weighed over 1600 pounds, and stood 12'6" high at the shoulder. It's a world record."

Not entirely the truth, though, Rod.

There must have been something in that punch. This bear seems to have been over served. Looks like he then threw up and passed out. Good thing there is the bunch of concerned doctors near by to help him out. I love happy endings.

What a shoddy story that is. Some 22 yr old eejit shoots such a beast whilst it's eating its dinner.

I saw Twelve Monkeys for the first time on Friday and I think there should be more bears in movies.

What like "beaver face and ben".

Waaka Waaka Waaka!!!!
