Bears

Julius Strauss - one half of the couple who run the grizzly holiday that I went on in British Columbia, has been on Radio 4 recently:

A picture (I’ve got a few) of one of the bears that we saw a lot of.

Bears 2

We didn’t see anymore bears yesterday, or this morning when we went out. We were treated to some bear activity though, by a biologist/environmentalist who is staying with us. He showed us - bear day-beds, a bear highway, a new beaver dam, bear scat and finally a bear rub-tree.

Saw three grizzly bears this morning. Two of them were pretty shy (a good thing, for them) and the other one was amazing. She walked across the road in front of us, climbed up a small slope - then lay down between two trees. This was about 20m from the truck, so we got a really good look at her.
