And finally: Better Let Them Play Through
Dana D. shares a bear family on the golf course.
Isn’t 4 babies a lot for 1 mama bear to have?
According to the North American Bear Center:
How many cubs can black bears have? The record is six in Pennsylvania. Most litters are two or three. Two is most common in western North America. Three is most common in Minnesota and eastward in North America where food tends to be more abundant than in the west.
In New Hampshire, Tom Sears saw a litter of five shortly after the family emerged from a den in April 2007. He photographed them 6 weeks later when the cubs were about 5 months old.
All five cubs survived their first year, which is unusual for such a large litter. They likely received supplemental food, considering the predictability of their movements to allow such photos.
The picture they used on that page shows five.
I was wondering the same thing! Four seemed excessive, but FIVE. Can you imagine having to be in charge of that much curiosity and adventure?
I’m reminded of this mama trying to get all her babies across the road.
That last baby!😆 Clueless!
Bet there’s some frank talk from mom once they’re all safe.
That’s why they’re playing on a golf course.
“Four!”
I was looking for the video in the article about the golden and the geese and didn’t see it so I went directly to Instagram.
Oops, I didn’t see your comment before I posted. There’s a link to the IG page but it took me a couple reads to realize it.
The submarine flips!💙😆 I didn’t know geese did that!
I wondered if they’d be “nicer” being raised by humans, but someone on the site said that they aren’t, but they will come back for a little bit once a year.
😄
Here’s the video. BP gets confusing with all their links sometimes.
Tell me more…
Between roly poly bears and kittens who found their courage, I can face another day. Looking forward to goslings and other great stories later.
People, if you can spare a thought for my friend’s darling cat Dante, he’s not feeling well lately. I’ve got a bad feeling about his situation.
Sparing plenty of thoughts.
How old is Dante? Sending healing thoughts💙
I think he’s about 14 or 15, so he’s mature but not super old.
Sending healing purrs from my two.
