Yearling black baer cub seperated from its mama by tourist.I got the tourist parted an him back on his way to mama. I had a portable police scanner tuned to the park system and bluffed everyone into thinking I was with the park. My shot was made from the edge of the lane I created for him to walk to the other side of the road.What some tourist don’t realize Mama might come lookin for him which was to there backs. Just because some bears in parks seem aproachable doesn’t mean they want attack unexpectedly.

10×14 watercolor enhanced colored pencil on Arches satin finish watercolor paper. Original available. Photographic reference from D. Cutrell. The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) is the most common bear species native to North America. It lives throughout much of the continent, from northern Canada and Alaska south into Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This includes 41 of the 50 U.S. states and all Canadian provinces except Prince Edward Island. Populations in the east-central and southern United States remain in the protected mountains and woodlands of parks and preserves, though bears will occasionally wander outside the parks’ boundaries and have set up new territories, in some cases on the margins of urban environments in recent years as their populations increase. Although there were probably once as many as two million black bears in North America long before European colonization, the population declined to a low of 200,000 as a result of habitat destruction and unrestricted hunting. By current estimates, more than 800,000 are living today on the continent. Legal status / Today, a major threat to the American black bear is poaching, or illegal killing, to supply Asian markets with bear galls and paws, considered to have medicinal value in China, Japan, and Korea. The demand for these parts also affects grizzly and polar bears. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), a treaty among more than 120 nations, provides measures to curb illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products across international boundaries, helping to protect the black bear from poaching. Perpetrators caught poaching or smuggling either item out of the United States or Canada may face very serious legal ramifications, and park rangers within both countries are charged with the protection of the bears under their jurisdictions up to and including arrest. Black bears are abundant in most of the western states and in most of Canada, but its presence in the Midwest is uneven by comparison. For example, Ontario is home to about 100,000 bears, with at least as many in neighboring Quebec, while the Upper Midwest has a very healthy population with 30,000 bears in Minnesota alone. In contrast, nearby places like Iowa, Kansas and Illinois have virtually none. Most quintessentially Midwestern states have not had a native population of bears since the turn of the 19th century and many are still heavily used for agriculture today. Most populations east of the Mississippi River are seeing a marked, steady increase in population: bears are moving back into places where they typically have been absent for over a century as suitable habitat has returned. In eastern states with heavily wooded areas, populations are growing rapidly; in North Carolina there were 11,000 bears at last count in 2004, Pennsylvania estimates 15,000 bears currently, New Jersey (a heavily urbanized state) estimated 3,529 in 2003, and even tiny Rhode Island has seen evidence of bears moving into areas where they haven’t been in decades. The Florida black bear has also seen increases in numbers in recent decades, in 2004 the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission estimated over 2,400 bears were in the state. Unfortunately, not all is well. Continued development may reduce connectivity between the already separated populations in Florida. The Louisiana subspecies continues to be at critically low levels, although several successful reintroduction projects have added bears to new areas of the state. In Mexico, the indigenous black bear population is listed as endangered and is mostly limited to increasingly fragmented habitat in the mountainous northern parts of the country. Individuals from this area seem to have naturally recolonized parts of southern Texas and along the Rio Grande. In 1992, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Louisiana black bear subspecies as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act, meaning it could be in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range in the near future. The American black bear is also protected by legislation in the affected states (Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas), owing to its close resemblance to this subspecies. The Florida black bear was denied protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1998 and 2004 due to its adequate protection and management by the State of Florida. Complete 2007

Grizzly (brown) bear (Ursus arctos horribilis). / Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center; near Portage Valley, Alaska. / 12 April 2008. / Nikon D70s. Rationally, I understand why Stephen Colbert is afraid of bears. But come on… this is just cute! And this is no small cub. The AWCC (near Portage Valley, Alaska) helps to rehabilitate wounded animals from the region. Some of the animals aren’t able to be re-released into the wild, but live comfortable lives in the sprawl of land that is the AWCC. This is one of a few brown bears at the AWCC. Absolutely adorable.

We spotted this handsome young Black Bear at a salmon-spawning stream, walking nonchalantly along the forested water’s edge, scooping up tired Pink Salmon. Being only 25 feet away, he saw us immediately (could smell us long before we spotted him, no doubt) and just continued on his way quite unconcerned, as we happily took hundreds of photos of him. What a wonderful experience it was and it happened, today! We have just returned from a 2000+ mile wilderness adventure and yet we found this happy chappy just a few short miles from our home here on Vancouver Island. We just had to share him with you. 25% of all profits benefit the amazing animal protection group at: www.wildlifedirect.org Thanks for helping me to help them.

A young bear with mom looking at all the tourist piled up in the middle of Laurel Creek Road…. one of the biggest problems in the park and especially Cades Cove is people stopping in the middle of the road to take pictures. Due to low light and being hand held I had to use an ISO of 800 to get this shot…imagine the results from the many cell phone shots that were in use also….Black Bear, ursus americanus…Mama’s ear tags were digitally removed if anyone wants the shot with them in, please let me know….Shot was taken in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park…noise may be visible on larger prints……Black bears in the park are wild animals, caution should be use in approaching them…The bear in Cades Cove are a little more tolerable to people than these would be. Those in the cove see 1000’s of people daily. People thinking that because they got close to one in the cove, they could anywhere in the park. Mama bear did a false charge to some that were trying to approach them a few minutes after this shot….Those in the cove and elsewhere can kill you. A young child was mauled in the park this year as he bent over to play in the water..To the bear he probably looked like a small deer…

The Great Bear (Grizzly Bear) has stirred the imagination as a powerful symbol and image so much that even a constellation in the Great Star Nation was named for it. Seven stars of this body are most easily recognized in the Northern Hemisphere, as they form the Big Dipper and have mythical links to the seven great rays of light of the Divine. / Awakening the Power of the Unconscious is the most prominent of lore and medicine associated with the BEAR, the largest of the carnivores with abilities to stand and walk upon two legs, akin to humans. They are omnivorous, eating almost anything: plants, fruits, and meat, although it eats less meat than smaller carnivores like the fox. / Contrary to popular belief, they do not truly hibernate, although they do live to a great degree on their stored up fat, as their body temperature will drop about 13 degrees and their breathing rate will cut in half. The depth of their sleep is dependent upon the amount of fat stored. Their kidneys may shut down completely during this time and scientists continue to study this for human transplantation healing. Female bears give birth during their heavy sleep, sometimes 2-3 cubs born helpless and semi-conscious. / The grizzly, despite its size can reach running speeds of 35-40 mph for short distances and all can climb trees. The Grizzly has long been known for its strength and ferocity, although it is not naturally aggressive. / Bear medicine includes strength and stamina, as well as patience, defense, wisdom, dreams and intuition. Mostly seeking quiet places for answers and harmony in our lives, by going within to find personal strength and inner knowing. / The Bear has lunar symbology as well, giving it ties to the subconscious and even unconscious mind. / The Bear has been one of my personal totems since she came to me in Vision Quest in the 1990’s, she is who helps me the most with my herbal medicines.

Syrian Brown Bear at Melbourne Zoo / The Syrian Brown Bear (Ursus arctos syriacus) is the smallest subspecies of Brown Bear. They are omnivorous, eating almost any type of food, including meat, grass, and fruits. / This subspecies occupies a large area in western Asia, but their population is declining due to habitat destruction, poaching, and fragmentation of population. Syrian brown bears were historically found in Anatolia (Turkey), Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, and parts of Afghanistan and NW Pakistan. In the Caucasus, this species is replaced with common brown bear (Eurasian Brown Bear). In Pakistan and southern Afghanistan, Himalayan Brown Bear replaces this species. In southern and south-eastern Iran, it is replaced by Asian Black Bear. / Wikipedia / Nikon D300 : Lens Nikkor 80-400mm ED VR / 1/160s, f/6.3, ISO : 200 Please see : / Free the Bears

Mama bear and her cubs had been run up a tree by a very aggressive male. I wish I had got a shot of him but was movin to quick for the low light in the woods. The bear seemed more abundant in the Cove this year. Bears are wild animals and should be treated with respect. The large male wasn’t too tolerable of anything, and could have attacked at any moment. You may see a dozen bears in the Cove that pay you no mind, but it just takes one like the aggressive male to kill you. The day I made this I had seen 11 different bear….Black Bear, ursus americanus… ….Shot was taken in Cades Cove area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park
