Human Thanksgiving Day

The other day all the humans in the city didn't go to work for a special day. Bear found out from the internet that it was what the humans call Thanksgiving Day. Apparently the humans are happy that some other humans gave them this city and the white boxes full of food and cars and internet and pumpkins so the humans take a day to not go to work and they eat all day long instead. Bear loves this holiday.

To add to all the eating related fun the humans close off the streets so that some of the humans can get dressed up and walk down the street playing music and carrying giant versions of the characters Bear loves so much from the picture box without getting hit by those crazy yellow cars that drive so fast when Bear goes out walking. A man yelling at everybody said that this is called a macy parade. Bear isn't sure who this macy is but he thinks she's the one who made the white boxes full of food

Bear was especially happy that bears were well represented in this macy parade. Bear saw those building bears again. Even though Bear disagrees with these bears misleading humans as to how bears are really built, Bear is happy to see bears in the macy parade and not being shot. Bear took a picture see:

And Bear saw those funny Care Bears. Apparently they come down from their clowd city for this macy parade to spread happiness. You can see the grumpy one in the front. Bear didn't see the sleepy one --- he must have slept in; it was pretty early in the morning. Bear took a picture see:

The Moose and Cappy loved the macy parade. Bear loved the thanksgiving (eating). Bear thinks Lynx loved it all too although he wouldn't admit it.

Tribute to Bears

Bear was walking The Moose and Cappy in the fake woods the other day when he found this monument to bears. Bear has noticed that the humans normally like to make monuments for funny looking old humans or large birds or funny shapes that Bear has never seen before. And the internet has been telling Bear about a lot of anti-bear speciesim lately, so Bear was glad bears are appreciated, and that The Moose and Cappy could see that sometimes the humans like bears and make monuments to them instead of shooting us.

Masterbating Bear

This bear is funny

Don't worry, it wasn't Bear. Apparently Bear isn't as special as he thought. It looks like lots of people in this Ohio place like to keep bears too. The humans in charge appear to let the humans not in charge keep bears, but as Bear has learned and told the other animals, if the humans catch you outside without a good disguise, they'll shoot you;

Bear Fishing

The man made a video of Bear going for a fish.

As you can see from my blog profile (its right over there, on your right paw side) Bear is a seasonal fisherman. For years Bear just caught fish and ate them when they were around, but then he found out that the humans would give him money when the fish weren't around. Bear isn't sure why, but he loves his Employment Insurance.

From the forms that Bear had to fill out to get his Employment Insurance he found out that there are lots of humans who fish sometimes too and get Employment Insurance the rest of the time -- so many of them that the humans have made Employment Insurance forms and don't notice when a black bear fills one out.

Bear has also noticed that although the humans love the fishes, they aren't very good as catching them. The use their Employment Insurance to buy all sorts of sticks and nets and hooks and clothes and boats and cages and make lots of internet blogs and put ads on the side of Bear's blog to get the fishes cause even though they have the useful opposable thumbs, they have no claws or jaws and they just don't seem very smart at getting the fishes. So Bear has decided to give the humans some fishes catching tips to go along with this instructional video that the man made to teach the humans how to catch fishes better:

1. Go to the woods. Bear has found that there are no fishes in the city (Bear would like to pause here and clairify that he is teaching humans how to catch fishes, as opposed to getting fishes. You see catching fishes means going to water and grabbing a fish with your teeth. Getting fishes means going to the white box or a store and giving another humans your Employment Insurance money and they give you a fish. This lesson is for catching fishes). If there are any they aren't good for eating, even for a bear. The funny man in the humans made woods with the stick at the water should take special note of this tip.

2. Find water. For catching fishes the water should be the type that has lots of fishes in it. This seems to be a hard part of the humans who seem to like to stand in water with sticks for hours where there are no fish. The humans need to smell the air better and listen to the clock in their brain to find when and where the fishes are.

3. Find a part of the water that is less deep. If it's not so deep, then the fishes have less water to hide in.

4. Find a fish. It should be big and slow and stupid looking. Again, humans don't seem very good at telling which fishes are big and slow and stupid. They seem to just try to get anything they can.

5. Follow the fish for a bit. This will help you learn how the fish is thinking and where it likes to swim. Humans normally just like to stand in one place, like they think that the fish is going to want to come over and make friends with them.

6. This is where fishing takes on a personal touch. Bear likes to just stick his head in the water (see video) and catch the fish. Other bears sometimes will swim with them for a bit. And other bears will use their paws to claw them around for a bit. This point seems to be the most hardest for the humans.

7. Find a good place on shore to hide from bigger bears and eat your fish. Bear knows that humans always like to put their food on a fire first. This is fine, but a bear might smell it and be too lazy to get his own fish and just come and take yours. You've been warned.

Now you humans are ready to go out and catch some fishes like a bear.

Lynx Update Part II

Bear was in the park with the Moose and Cappy today to get an update from the squirrels on Lynx's progress. Lynx of course has gone to Louisiana to free a bearnapped black bear cub that the internet told Bear about. Bear's loyal blog readers will remember that Lynx had teamed up with two mountain lion brothers and a red fox in his mission.

The squirrels had great news for Bear. The red fox had teamed up with his red fox pack and located the super secret compound of the humans special agents where they were holding the bearnapped black bear cub in the Louisiana place. The animals investigated and smelled and marked and claimed the area and hunted for rabbits together for a couple of days as animals do.

Then once the animal had properly claimed the area and had a good snack they set their plan into action. First Lynx used his claw to open the lock of the super secret compound (like he learned to do in the city to get into the house when the man and girl aren't home). Then the mountain lion pounced on the secret service guards and held them down. Then the foxes poked the humans in their bums with the sharp things that they poke the animals with that make them sleepy. Then Lynx freed the bearnapped bear cub from the tiny cage that the secret service humans were keeping him.

Then the mountain lions and Lynx measured the humans for no apparent reason and poked around in their mouths and pulled on their ears. Then the red foxes put collars on the humans necks (Bear will never understand the humans fixation on putting things around everything's neck). Then the mountain lions and Lynx took the humans into the middle of the woods and released them into their new habitat.

Then Lynx took the bear cub to some water and showed him how to fish the way Bear tried to teach Lynx how to fish so he could have some real bear food, not the crap that the secret service humans had been feeding him (Lynx wasn't so good at it cause he doesn't like to get his fur wet and his paws are small and his jaw is little--- Lynx is built for land hunting, not water hunting, but Bear is glad that Lynx found a use for the lession). A job well done by the animal team.

The squirrels told Bear that Lynx is headed home to the city now and the foxes have gone have gone back to their den in the woods. The red foxes told the mountain lions about a place with beautiful snow capped mountains and woods and lots of animals to hunt and lots of space for mountain lions to roam in a place called Colorado , so they were going there. And the mountian lions decided that they would take care of the bear until he was old enough to take care of himself.

Bear is happy

Caring Bears

Bear was reading about a group of bears called the Care Bears. Apparently they're a group of bears who have died their fur bright colors, painted hearts and flowers and such positive imagery on their bellies and run around spreading care and joy to the humans; except for one Care Bear who likes to sleep all the time and another who's grumpy all the time.


Bear thinks its nice that this group of bears are trying to spread joy and improve the bad image of bears that the humans seem to have of them. But these Care Bears also face bearism and anti-bearites like other bears, especially from one of the humans named No-heart. He must be friends with the Sarah Palin and Steven Colbert humans. Instead of using normal disguises like Bear uses they have chosen to hide in the clouds and travel to the city on rainbows.

Bear is going to find out how to ride these rainbows. Until then, good luck with your mission Care Bears. Bear thinks he'll be best friends with the sleepy one.

Bear has a snack

Internet has been telling Bear about some humans who think that they have wasted food boxes that are tougher than Bear is; "Bear vs Trash Cans; The Arms Race Continues". To show Internet and humans that Bear is tougher than any wasted food box that the humans can make, Bear got on a train and went to where they have these so called "bear-proof" wasted food boxes and Bear broke it and had a snack and The Moose taped it and Bear put it here, on Bear's blog.

Tiger and Bear Play

Bear just thought this was cute.

Bear likes interspecies play. Like bears and mooses and bears and lynxs and bears and capybaras and capybaras and lynxs and lynxs and mooses and capybaras.

Bear Having a Rest

Bear wanted a rest after a long day of fishing and eating berries. This type of bed is hard for Bear to get into, not like the bed in the house. But its very comfy once Bear is in place

Cougar vs Bear

Bear will call this one a tie

Black Bear v.s Cougar

In case you were wondering about how tough the mountain lions brothers that are with Lynx now on their way to Louisiana to free the kidnapped black bear cub, the internet showed Bear this video.

Mountain lion is pretty tough, but just like the bull, bear wins in the end. Bear wonders how the mountain lion would do against a water bear.
