Oh, I get it, it's because that stuff isn't cute. Okay, I see where you're going with this. No, no, really, it's funny, I promise you it's funny. It's not as though it seems like you're trying too hard, so don't even worry about that.

I know there's at least four or five pictures in that set. They're a real-world couple.

I am in love with grizzly bears ever since watching a special about them on Animal Planet a ciyple of weeks ago. If I could own one, I would.

When I was young, I watched a zookeeper play-fight with a bear cub for like 20 minutes. He had a powerful hose, and would spray the cub and knock it around. The guy would just get right back up and start gnawing at his leg. He was waving his paws in the air like a delighted retard.

I wonder how intelligent bears are?

I wonder how intelligent bears are?

COGNITION AND REASONING:

here is an excerpt form Lynn Rogers' overview of bear intelligence:

Black Bears:

-Large brain compared to body size.

-One of the more intelligent mammals.

-Navigation ability superior to humans.

-Excellent long-term memory.

-Can generalize to the simple concept level.

"Bears may be the most intelligent of the North American mammals according to their brain structure, the experience of animal trainers, and tests at the Psychology Department of the University of Tennessee. Grizzly bear mothers spend 1Â½ to 3Â½ years showing their cubs where and how to obtain food. The cubsâ€™ ability to form mental maps and remember locations may exceed human ability."

Ben Kilham says bears have intelligence comparable to that of the great apes.

A biologists in British Columbia that has studied bears for 20 years estimates their intelligence to be at about the same level as a 3-year-old human.

Famous bear trainer Doug Seuss claims that his brown bear Bart must have been at least as intelligent as a chimpanzee, and according to him Bart wasn't even an extraordinarily intelligent individual as far as brown bears went.

TOOL USE:

-Bears using sticks, branches, etc, to scratch themselves

-Bears picking up and throwing objects such as rocks during play, sometimes at random, sometimes aiming at each other (!!!)

-Polar Bears throwing chunks of ice at walruses to bludgeon them and knock them out

-other more complex usage of tools has been allegedly observed before in bears, for instance, Doug Seuss's kodiak grizzly Bart picked up and carried a wooden board to a thorny bramble set it down over it, and used it as a 'bridge' to walk over the thorny bramble safely so he could get to a coke can he found in the middle of it.

-During Charlie Russell's bear co-existence study in Kamchatka, a wild mother brown bear named "Brandy" would sometimes leave her cubs behind with Charlie, and then go off by herself to forage, using Charlie as a "babysitter" for her cubs. ...does this qualify as bears using humans as tools? it's a bit of a leap, but worth mentioning...

that last picture isn't actually my dog, but something I found while exploring the interweb. It usually brings the LOLs with me and, while I was posting it, I was listening to Fly to the Rainbow and it cracked me up. I always wonder where that dog is headed, he looks like he is really eager to get there.
