Bears

As the famous saying goes, “Bears would be bears”. Okay. That’s not a saying. But whether you like it not, no one would ever dare to stand toe-to-toe with a massive 7-footer, 500-lb, fanged, fury mammal. Even the bravest hunter would rattle in fear when a wild, hungry bear had its eyes fixed directly onto him while in ready-to-attack beast mode. Who would have thought that a fury brown grizzly would tear your apart for lunch? Freaky! But don’t worry folks. No matter how hungry and outrageous such a beast is, you could still be safe. Even it is right in front of you. Yes. You heard that absolutely. Solution -- grab your friends, your very best friends and gather like a bunch of “eat all you can”” buffet meal. Trust me. You are making a way out…

The main moods for the…

The bear population is growing and in some states like Florida both the bear and human population is growing. You can say we are living in the bear's backyard, and that means a greater likelihood of a bear encounter. There have been literally thousands of instances where bears have frightened workers,…

The Bear That Wasn’t by Frank Tashlin expresses the topic and main idea of a bear who struggles with loss of identity. In the beginning of the story,the bear is hibernating, oblivious to the construction of a factory above him. As he emerges from his slumber and walks outside, the foreman yells at the bear for not working. The bear simply replies ‘but I’m a bear.’ The foreman insisted that the bear is a silly man who needs a shave and wears a fur coat. The bear denies it repeatedly, so is taken…

The objective of the BearCam experiment was to collect data and analyze to determine whether the grizzly bears prefer to fish independently or in groups at the McNeil River Falls. I collected the data within different times of the day between 7:34 A.M. – 7:02 P.M. My hypothesis is that bears prefer to fish independently rather than in groups. Methods: For the collection of data I used the random number generator to find the pictures of the bears and analyze whether they prefer to fish for their…
