Bear-ly got to bed...

Better to have two wet feet under you, than four bear feet after you...

A Bear chaser with that, please. Great pic. Thank you for posting.

Well, according to Snopes, the picture posted by APS is a FAKE.

Assuming Snoples analysis to be true, I will refrain from commenting on whether the same problem permeates other items posted by APS.

I don't check those pics, especially since the video of a bear chasing a gal on a ski-board (in Japan) was also said to be a fake.

Not at all surprised, and Snopes picks "low-hanging fruit" to report on.

The above bear chase—but a video!

As long as the above "fake bear chase" characterizes a reality, who's to complain?

Like, where is Snopes on this intense Grizzly chase? (Although I do think it was rehearsed).

Or Snopes on this account from Cycling magazine, a Grizzly chasing an "unaware" bicyclist?

“Finally he looked over at me and I said, ‘You’ve got a grizzly bear about 25 feet behind you.’ He looked back and went, ‘Oh!’ and started to pound on the pedals.”

'A good thing I like bears, as two of 'em were photographed this past Sunday (and one videotaped—having raced over to climb a tree) next to our driveway!

As I've been telling my neighbors, we have no witnesses to a bear browsing on Wolfeboro Neck since 1949. (But photographed in two concurrent years recently at Wolfeboro's Carry Beach, a mile away).
