I am trying to go back in my mind and remember funny, scary, and exciting things that our family has experienced over the past couple months. I deeply am sorry if you have been checking our blog and have not seen any updates. Hoping to change that. Please keep following us. Feel free to leave messages. We love hearing from you too.
These bears were at the Anchorage zoo. We stood there for half-an-hour, just watching them play and interact. Bears truly are interesting creatures. We enjoy educating ourselves about bears. Which living up here is not a bad thing to do. You never know when and where you might run into a bear. Thankfully a lot of outhouses and trails leave a notice if one has been spotted in the area. They also post what to do and what NOT to do if you come in contact with on. They are very smart creatures. Paul said that in Sitka (where He trained), when the bears would go through peoples trash or were in residential areas, they usually have to shoot the momma (sow) and cubs (if there are any). This is because they have a great memory and will come back to the same spot over and over again. They would have to be taken at least 150 miles from where they are causing problems. Which in Sitka means, islands and islands away. They can smell up to a mile away. I thought this was a great picture from a SAFE distance.
