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 food independently or…
Bear Management in Montana Forests Those who live in Montana coexist with a vast array of wildlife. One of the most spectacular and intimidating species that can be encountered is the North American Black and Grizzly Bear. Not only are they a species that can be appreciated for their powerful beauty, but they contribute much to the ecosystem as well. Some of their ecological roles include being seed dispensers and nutrient providers ("Black Bear Biology," 2016.) The berries the bears’ consume…
male grizzly bears go fishing early in the morning while the female grizzly bears and their cubs go fishing around the evening. By the evening, most of the male grizzlies bears are all fed up and less likely to be present near the river area. Female grizzlies go looking for food during this time to protect their cubs from aggressive male grizzly bears. Design: First I will randomly pick out 15 photos from 9:00am- 11:00am and pick another set of 15 photos from 4:00pm- 6:00pm of the grizzly…
The Grizzly man also known as Timothy Treadwell thought he could be one with nature by going to Alaska and living with bears for 13 years. Some would consider him a transcendentalist like the writers Emmerson and Thoreau. Some would argue he is just a nut case playing with bears just like Thoreau was a loser who played in Emmerson’s back yard only to move back with his parents. Thoreau was so into nature he only lived about 2 miles from town. Some would consider Treadwell and Thoreau very…
Tragedy Grizzly Bears are ferocious, furry creatures that may appear to be soft and cuddly but come armed with sharp claws, and huge teeth. The males can weigh up to 600 pounds and the females can weigh up to 440 pounds. Every year in North America alone there are at least three fatalities of humans who are mauled by bears. According to Boy Scouts of America the best advice to prevent attacks from Grizzly Bears is to avoid them all together. If someone must travel through the habitat of a…
A Transcendental Grizzly What is nature? Is it the river or lake? Or is it the trees and grass? For Transcendentalists it's much more. Transcendentalism connects to the deepest roots of nature. It's taking in the beauties of the world , it’s not yielding to society's mores, but instead leaving the orthodox routine of life, and escaping to live deliberately, spiritually, and hand in hand with nature at its purest. Many men and women leave their mundane life in the cities to follow this ideal,…
While absorbing the cinematic film, Grizzly Man (created by Herzog), and the intriguing texts, Too Much of A Good Thing (Tracy Frisch interviewing Daniel E. Lieberman) & The Vow of the Weasel (written by Dillard), a more concise understanding betwixt modern-day culture, humans, and animals periodically blossom through each story, adding a new piece to the complex puzzle incorporated within the lexicon of the “humanimal”. Consequently, these forms of media all share a common syntactic thread of…
The Big Grizzly Well, one warm day of the summer when all kinds of people are talking about a bear. They say that is has only been coming out at night, and rummaging through their trash, and tearing up there yards. They have only seen it at night. They say it is a good sized bear. I have heard people say next time they see it they are going to kill it and if they don’t see it they are going to go hunting after it. Also people are leaving their houses because of the bear. In the beginning,…
Surprisingly, the chances of getting killed by a grizzly or black bear in a National Park is only 1 out of 2.1 million. Even though bears seem like a daunting threat to campers and tourist bears are fairly harmless to the majority. Therefore, bears should not be removed from National Parks because the parks not only provide food storage, but there are no recorded deaths by bears in Yosemite park, and the bears help disperse berry seeds. One reason bears should not be removed from National Parks…
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…
