Bears will be Bears...

Can't help but notice all of the bear activity going on the last few weeks. In Denali this past weekend a hiker pulled out a .45 caliber pistol, which is legal to carry now thanks to new gun laws in national parks, and fired 7-9 rounds into an oncoming grizzly. The grizzly came out on the losing end of this battle but in Yellowstone a few days ago a man was killed in what seems to be a predatory bear attack while two other people were seriously injured, presumably by the same bear.

Apparently bears are also skilled in stealing cars...

And just the other day, in Glacier National Park, our good friend Jack Hanna had a close run in with a grizzly. Jack, being the wildlife expert he is, pulled out the pepper spray a fired a few shots into the face of the agitated bear. The bear retreated and here is what Jack had to say about the whole situation...
