Every Spring, skinny bears emerge from hibernation. They are super hungry and nothing better get in the way of their next meal.
Bears love berries. They will eat all the berries.
We don’t know what these bears are doing, but someone probably started a rumor that there were berries in that tree.
Mama bears are extra hungry because they have a cub or three to feed.
Four cubs and they each need a picnic basket twice a day!
Bear cubs look cute to trick humans into giving them food. Don’t fall for it.
Sometimes bears get a little cranky and territorial over who saw the berry patch first.
This bear ate too many berries.
Bears climb trees to look for food, to get away from predators, and just for fun.
Bears love taking naps.
Bears are really into sashimi. Only the fresh stuff will do.
Humans have encroached into bear habitat, so the bears have learned to put up with it. If you see bears on the road, slow down and let them pass.
Many bears enjoy swimming with their friends. This fun couple met on Plenty of Fish.
Bears are known for sneaking around human habitats looking for food.
They WILL eat your snacks.
They will drink your coffee.
Frankly, they have no shame. This bear is staking out a picnic area waiting for some humans to give him a handout.
These bears want to know what is taking you so long with their breakfast.
This bear ate all the cat food and now he has to sleep it off.
“Maybe there is more to life than just eating and sleeping. First I eat berries, then I nap, then I eat a salmon, then I nap. I saw a human eating a sandwich. Maybe I should try that” said this bear. Probably.
Jackpot!
It is so nice of those humans to leave these tubes of tasty seeds out for me. They should try and put the seeds in something the birds can’t get into, though.
mmmmm my favorite flavor.
Quick, get in. We are going to Walmart for some grub.
Excuse me, human? Were you aware the birds got into my snack bowls?
The polite thing is to leave out bear tubs on hot days.
Team work.
I think I see some berries over there.
OK Mom, now what do we do?
hmmm There seems to be snacks in there. Are those for me?
Family portrait.
OMG is that a strawberry shortcake in there? How did they know that strawberries are my favorite!
