Scat, Bear

PghMillsBear

This black bear visited the Pittsburgh Mills Mall in Frasier, Pennsylvania, last Saturday.  He wandered around Sears for a while before being caught here, between two sets of doors, where he was eventually tranquilized and hauled away by animal control.

Another bear – apparently more interested in dining than fashion - was seen near the mall’s Olive Garden Restaurant at about the same time.

It has been photographed, but, so far,  it has not been captured. It was spotted again on Monday behind the Smokey Bones Barbeque.

On the other side of the coin, in Katmai National Park, Alaska, people travel hundreds of miles to watch Brown Bears lunch on salmon at Brooks Falls.

If you don’t have the time (or resources) for an Alaska trip, You can find some great videos – and a live cam – at the Explore.Org website.  Looks like you have to join to see the live cam, but it’s worth it; there’s a lot of neat stuff on their site.
