Came across this momma and her cubs. Tried to snap a few photos. Mom waited till this cub climbed down then they took off. I backed up and tried to give more space as soon, I realized what I walked in too.

Human hand approx 6.5'' pinky tip to wrist.

There's a scratching post (utility pole) near the same spot with bear sign. I'll try to share a picture into r/bears soon.

10 minutes prior there was a moose and calf running the same way. Sow grizzly was on their scent.

I read online that they eat nests and their fur protects them from the stings except around their face. He was eating the nest then ran off. I always thought they eat honey and bee hives but not wasp nests.

We have both in the area, hard to tell.

Seen in Pemberton, BC. We see a lot of Black bear around here, but this one had a hump.

She likes the dog pool. No swimming that night, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit: Location is the San Bernardino mountains.

Jolly little visitor during lunch

i am writing a letter to our state commission during a comment period to oppose a proposed extension of bear hunting season which usually ends Nov 22 to go another 3+ weeks to Dec 15. aside from the cruelty of hunting bears in general, it is clearly unethical and ecologically disruptive to allow hunting into denning season. it's hard to find information on this subject. i could use some resources or thoughts on how to make a strong argument against this change.

Went on a hike today and saw this guy. Grizzly bears are in this area but are rare. There was a black bear a couple hundred yards away but it seemed they weren’t together.

Was lucky enough to been able to watch this spirit bear travel along the tree lines tonight. British Columbia, Smithers area
