Bear tracks in the forest
I was taking the dogs out for a walk with my mum, when we found fresh bear tracks. We got in a hurry to go back to the car with the dogs, but even if the bear would have still been around I doubt that it would have attacked... Wish I could say the same about the dogs. It was very unusual to make such a finding this time of the year, because they have been hibernating almost two months now. Something has probably disturbed it or the unusually warm weather has woken it up. Anyway it was very close to where people live and i wouldn't want to bump into a disturbed hungry teddybear alone in a forest. Bears are very intelligent, before it goes to hibernate it checks about 5 other nests so if it gets disturbed it alredy knows where to go next. I hope this one had another nest handy somewhere.
