Bear Behavior Facts
June 24th, 2008 Posted in Info about BearsDid you know that big giant bears have been clocked at 75mph? This is faster than a cheetah. Polar bears can swim almost this fast. Bears are usually doing this sort of stuff:
- Wrestling salmon in rivers. This is done for sport as most of their food comes from people.
- Climbing up trees to kill things or people.
- Flattening your camp and your car.
- Chasing camping hippies around the forest.
- Letting photographers take pictures of them from like 800 yeards away. This is good bear PR and brings more people to the forest.
- Pawing at helicopters. They are pretty sure meat is inside but can never quite reach them.
- Digging underground dens. These are used for ambush during the summer and hibernation during the winter.
- Being SO stupid. Bears are notoriously stupid.
- Sharpening claws on rough stones. Their claws grow up to 1 inch per week.
