this one put a big smile on my face
Early spring and baby bear is getting his first climbing lesson. Momma bear wants him to learn as quickly as possible so she can send him scurrying up the tree at any sign of perceived danger or when she wants to go and forage for food.

I watched the "I didn't know I was pregnant" show a couple of times, mostly because I like a good train wreck as much as the next person. I just find it really hard to believe the stories.

(60,010 posts)What surprises me is how small the baby is and yet knows to understand Momma bear is teaching him to climib.
Instinct of baby animals, including humans, always blows me away.

I haven't seen the threat list for a while, but I think that might be higher up than bears.
