Video: Bear Breaking Into Car

Monday, June 10th, 2013


It’s not technically a break in since the car was unlocked and it’s a bear, but this short video is a nice heads up to those of us living in places where humanity has pushed deep into bear territory that locking your car might not be a bad idea. I love that the people shooting this video keep laughing, but I wonder if they continued laughing when they found the pound of bear scat inside their baby seat and priced out getting the claw marks removed from the interior.

Grizzly Bear Eats GoPro

Friday, May 17th, 2013


Biologist Brad Josephs set up a GoPro to capture some footage of a grizzly bear in Alaska. It went better than planned. Watching it, you get a good idea of what it’d look like if a bear ever decided to casually eat you. Notice the blood on its snout. Brad says that amazingly his GoPro survived with no damage. Just how’d he get this footage? Maybe he rubbed it with a steak before planting it.

Bears Destroy Cabin and Drink 100 Beers

Monday, August 13th, 2012

A bear and her three cubs tore the wall off a Norwegian cabin and ate all of the marshmallows, chocolate syrup, and drank 100 cans of beer. “The cabin has the stench of a right old piss up, trash, and bears.” The cabin was utterly destroyed; all the beds were trashed, all the appliances dashed [ more... ]

Good news, you don’t have to go broke buying bear bells to see Katmai National Park anymore. Only about 10,000 people visit the park each year, home to about 2,200 bears. The park is 275 miles from Anchorage and getting there involves several pricey flights and an extraordinary amount of planning (don’t forget to book a plane to come pick you up!). The National Park has setup a few high-def cameras and you can see a live stream of bears going nuts on the salmon spawn. It’s very active (or was when I wrote this).

Clown-shoe Crocs are in the news again, and this time it’s not for their tanking stock. An Alaskan woman was walking to a stream in her campground when she spooked a sow grizzly and her cub. Her husband screamed for her to run, but in her Crocs and panic she only managed to trip over [ more... ]

Drought May Drive Bears Downtown Aspen

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

I would find tremendous joy in seeing the city of Aspen overrun with hungry bears this summer. An unseasonably warm spring has caused the region’s bears to come out of their hibernation early, and a drought has made food scarce in the backcountry. The city has already setup traps to try to stop two nuisance [ more... ]
