They're so accustomed to having tourists around that they stand still for petting and, sadly, some people feed them junk food. We also saw a small bear one time when we were driving in California. My husband, now ex, shouted, "Lock the doors! It's a bear." Yes. That little cub was going to chase us and open the car doors. What a wuss Dr. X is.

We routinely walked right by elk, buffalo, wild turkey, etc. One evening after dinner we were walking around letting our food digest when we hear a ROAR, as in big cat (cougar?) ROAR. We froze in place, then slowly backed out. We never saw it, but it obviously saw us. We also went hiking in Glacier National Park and were advised to wear "bear bells" tied to our shoe laces to ring as we walked, letting the bears in the area know of our presence. They say the bears are more afraid of us that we are of them. I question that. :)<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300332596847087857.post-75380851765334925962012-03-16T09:27:23.111-07:002012-03-16T09:27:23.111-07:00GS and I were at Yellowstone in August of 2010.
