bear say hi to me

lol @ me

Look at this perfectly tame and chill wild bear who successfully navigated getting into a stadium and is now doing tricks. Amazing!

bought a ticket no less

you see dogs on pitches all the time...

Another morning commute, hope it's not packed again.

does bear get u in diamond lane

Bear uses any lane he wants to.

looks like the bearway is packed again

traffic is un bearable

why do californians bear on the parkway and park on the bearway

I bet that wasn't too far from Bearbank.

Kind of close to Eagle Rock, maybe the bear was trying to get the name changed to Bear Rock.

literally EVERY TIME this thread shows up in New Answers my brain sings the title to some tune - dun dun DAA da-dun, "bear say HI to me" - and I try to think of what song it's from, and I always want to say it's "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh, and IT ISN'T.

Stupid neurons and axons all miswired in my head making me think completely useless shit all the time. Thanks, ilxobama.

my mom has had to chase a mama bear and yearling off of her porch twice in the last few weeks, first time they found the birdseed container and just busted through the screen door to eat it, second time they came back looking for more sunflower seeds. her and my stepdad are now bringing in all the bird feeders, turned all the compost over, and are hoping they move on soon.

gotta put out extra bear food so they leave the bird feed alone imo

o_O

your mom must be very brave!

i mean they're probably lil black bears, all you gotta do is yell at em

as long as you don’t look too threatening in front of the cubs when a mom is around, they’ll just be scared off

“Anybody can become a bear ‘expert’ by reading about them and sitting through lectures at a university,” Mr. Van Tighem said. “Charlie wasn’t that kind of expert. He didn’t see bears in the way that other bear researchers might — as objects of study. He saw them as his teachers.”

But to really get at the innate nature of bears, he needed to find ones that had no history of negative encounters with people. That is what sent him and Ms. Enns to Kamchatka, which had been off limits to civilians for military reasons during the Cold War and thus was full of bears that had had no contact with humans.

His live-with-the-bears approach also drew criticism from some wildlife officials. “He’s teaching people how to get mauled,” one said.

Sometimes people were indeed mauled

both otm, also it's a yearling not a cub so mom is not as defensive

their neighbor has a decent-sized commercial blueberry field, he's more worried than my mom is!

haha, I see

I learned something from this thread

my friend saw a bear at their grandparents' place in the country today

in Maine bears are wreaking havok with the bird feedres which sucks

A bear recently ripped down one of my Mom's bird feeders in suburban New Jersey.

Actually, she's more upset about deer eating all the hostas.

Does your mom live in the north? I grew up in a NJ town that notoriously had black bears in backyards all the time.

There are black bears all over NJ. My mom lives in the far western part of the state, her house abuts a state park, and she sees bears in her driveway and backyard all the time.

Yeah? IDK I'd say a whole ton of the state not immediately bordering NY & PA aren't used to that kind of thing.

I think we need to poll all ilxors with NJ dwelling moms surrounded by bears.

this is a good video because in it a guy flings beer at a bear to keep it away from eating his bbq meat and the bbq meat of his family

git the hell away from my shrimp you foul beast *unloads IPA*

That bear is very comfortable around people.

what incredible idiots

Josh! Quit!

Does your mom live in the north?

Allendale in Bergen County. We're getting them here in the Verona/Montclair area too. The past few years they've been closing off South Mountain Reservation for a 2-day bear hunt.

Yeah that's what I figured. My parents are in West Milford where it's common. Semi-surprised they're reaching you in Montclair area! It'll really be something if they get over to us in Hoboken someday!
