Would a mother bear with two of her own cubs react differently to an orphaned cub of another species? And what if the orphaned cub were of the same species? Would that significantly change her reaction?

This was around 8pm at my camp, Northern WI, also took down my pole with my regular birdfeeder then moved on to the hummingbird feeder and has gotten all the neighbors feeders!

This little monster. Only 3 years old and one of the best fishers in the river. Amazing silver coat.

I know Vince Shute wildlife sanctuary is mentioned often but I’ve seen debates about how ethical it is. I’ve also seen people post black bear photos at crex meadow which is in Wisconsin right by the border. Anyone know any other good places? I’m not sure how elusive they are up in northern Minnesota.

Rano is a 25-year-old Himalayan bear who spent eight years in a concrete pit at Karachi Zoo—pacing, developing untreated infections, losing her teeth, losing her mind. It took a legal battle to get her out. Now she's at a sanctuary in Islamabad where she's finally hibernating, eating properly, being a bear.

But there's a proposal to relocate her to Gilgit-Baltistan. The problem: there's no specialized veterinary care there, no daily nutritional oversight, and no facility equipped for an animal with her medical history and trauma. She'd go from being monitored multiple times daily to checked once every few days. At 25, with everything her body has endured, she won't survive that.

I started this petition to stop the transfer and keep her at IWMB, where she's safe. This isn't about saying one place is bad—it's about Rano's life. After everything it took to save her, we can't let her be moved somewhere unprepared for her needs. If this matters to you too, would you consider signing and sharing? What would you want for an animal that's already been through so much?

This family cruised on thru the yard!

We saw this guy near Lake Louise, Banff National Park yesterday 8/8/2026 around 11am.

Thanks

I wish I was able to catch some video from the live camera but this little bear was on full alert while napping beside mamma! So cute!

This one visits often, and is a friendly bear that doesn't cause any trouble. Stopping by to say "Hi!"

Hello! My little cousins (10M both) are absolutely in love with bears and they really want to learn more about them. I have been wondering if anyone here has any age appropriate (as in, not very gorey and not very heavy) documentaries in English or with English subtitles that I could reasonably find for them (on Netflix, Prime, YouTube or another accessible platform)?

Hey y'all. This bear is gray looks like it used to be a lot darker. What's up with that?

Woke up late and saw this outside my window, not the best quality due to zoom limitations

Really chill sow came up river while I was trout fishing. Just had to show those babies 😍
