If you are going to an area ihhabited by bears, at a minimum take some bear pepper spray; be aware that this pepper spray may NOT be as effective on Black bears as it has proven to be on Brown (Grizzly) bears. Keep you kids close and in your sight at all times. I wont try to figure out the psychology of the bear, maybe it was in a bad mood, maybe it was hungry, maybe it was just wasn't feeling friendly that day. Bears are wild animals and I might add VERY DANAGEROUS animals. BE CAREFUL when you are in their neck of the woods!

We need to remeber that we are in their territory, we need to respect them. This is not the zoo their is nothing seperating us from them. On several occasions I have witnessed to many visitors taking a trail or on a scenic route get to close to a wild animal in order to get a picture. Be aware of your surroundings and educate your self before you enter these areas. You need to know what to do if you do encounter a wild animal to keep yourself and the animal safe.

However, this guy doesn’t have much to go on since the bear decided that he was tired of being the hunted and turned into the hunter. Fortunately the hunter will be alright, but he might think twice about going into the thick bush after a black bear again.

We first heard of the Black Bear in Tennessee killing a six year old girl, now we have news of a mountain lion stalking and attacking a seven year old boy in Colorado. The boy was apparently the last in a single-file line of seven other people taking a short hike Saturday at a scenic area of Flagstaff Mountain. Fortunately the the rest of the party aggressively defended the boy against the cougar and chased it off with rocks and sticks before it became fatal. The boy suffered scratches and puncture wounds, but should be alright. Wildlife officials tracked the mountain lion down and ended up killing it.
