Aren’t these bears amazing? As cubs they are totally darling and as adults they are magnificent! I can’t believe how close the camera really men got, not just panned in. One thing to remember and I know this from the black bears that visited us in the Smoky Mountains is that bears are very inquisitive. They like to check out the things around them . Especially if it smells good! SO NEVER, EVER, EVER go up to a bear. Not a black bear and not a grizzly! EVER. They can rip your head off in a matter of seconds. With that being said, if you eve have the opportunity to photograph bears from a safe point of view, they are so fun to watch and your photos will be wonderful keepsakes. Just remember to stay at a safe distance. (not up close like in the movie) And remember this wonderful tip from the nature guide at my kids school:

“A fed bear is a dead bear. Period.”

What does that mean? Well I’ll tell you. It might seem exciting to feed such an amazing creature. But once you feed them “people” food, they want more. And more. And more. And they will start coming around populated areas to get it. They are then no longer afraid of humans. But they are still wild and dangerous animals and that makes them more dangerous. Because just because they are no longer afraid of you doesn’t mean they are ever tame. And once they insert themselves in the human population, accidents happen and the bear who is just “doing it’s thing” then has to be put down. Killed for being a bear. So a fed bear becomes a dead bear. Always. And that’s not fair to the bear. Ok that’s my soapbox nature tip for the day.

Now, here’s some more info on Disneynature’s BEARS and your free BEARS Activity Sheets:

In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure “Bears” showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food—ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf. “Bears” captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—Alaska!
