Apple Eater


Apple Eater (Ursus Americanus)

He was eating lots of pears at the time, Estimated weight 375 lbs. I have no problem with bears, this one has likely been eating in our fruit trees for years. When they get a whiff of humans or dogs, they are gone in seconds, the only problem is occasionally they will strip a fruit tree and tear all the branches down when feeding vigorously preparing for fall. Can't say I blame em. I like bears, they are cute and cuddly, and mind their own business.
