Oh my! That's scary!! :shock:
We had a cougar attack one of our dogs about 2 years ago.
It happened in the forest just behind the house.
He survived, after a month in the vet.

Be careful!!

Being an obsessive animal lover, my first reaction was "Ah -cuddle!" How special!

Beautiful Brown bear, probably thristy too.

I use to not worry anything about living in the country. But over the last few years we have more and more bears, mountain lions and the game and fish comission was kind enough to re-introduce rattle snakes to my lil mountain. hmmmmmmmm

darn, that is getting too close to home

hello, he is cute but would not want to be close...

I'm glad to hear you were inside when your visitor arrived. Nice pic. Do you see bears often where you live?

Wow! He was pretty comfortable around you :D:D:D

I'd probably never go outside again if I saw that in my yard..........

Very pretty, at a distance is the past way to enjoy him.
