REAL-LIFE TEDDY BEARS!
BROWN BEARS are native to vast swathes of the northern hemisphere from Europe, through Russia, Alaska, Canada and the central United States... This shaggy-furred lumberer is a Kodiak bear, a brown bear subspecies
The brown bear is the national beast of Finland
Brown bears are real-life Teddy Bears
The most savage of all bear species, brown bears hunt and eat other bears (especially American black bears), and even Siberian tigers... as well as man...
Their favourite activity seems to be standing in the middle of fast-flowing rivers waiting for salmon to leap out during spawning season...
Aren't baby bears cute!
They look like little furry goblins ...
Hammy heard that: "Goblins?!?! I'm outta here!"
WISHING Y'ALL A CHEERY WEEKEND!
Yes, they are very cute - and what amazing eyes! Gleds, you may be just the person I need - please come over and see if you can solve my gecko problem! x
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, so cut--but don't hug one or you'll get a bear hug you'll never forget.
ReplyDeleteJanice~
Gorgeous creatures, I love the photos and they look like they are gentle with soft brown eyes LOL xx
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who's a biologist and she's just returned from Alaska where I swear she took photos of bears catching salmon. Fantastic things.
ReplyDeleteWelshcakes: ok. I remember geckos from Goa. They scurried up our walls and you'd never believe they were there except you could see them. Never heard them. One never came close. They were like a mystic cartoon in utter silence. All day long
ReplyDeleteJanice: aye!
Wildernesschic: the top 2 look like they have severe headaches to me :-)
Baino: has she got a blog?
ps: I wanna go live in Alaska. Or Canada, Finland, Sweden, Norway or possibly Switzerland or Lichtenstein. Or the German Alps...
ReplyDeleteSomewhere with pine-trees and lakes and fresh air
Yes, baby bears are VERY cute!
ReplyDeleteLove you. Hope all is well.

Gleds - According to this week's issue of Newsweek Magazine from here in the States, Finland is the #1 country in the world, the rest of the Scandinavian countries are right up there with it. So if you were to move that way you could expect to live a very nice life. The school systems are supposed to be terrific ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd who couldn't love a brown bear?
Real life teddy bears my arse lol
ReplyDeleteTry and hug one and see if you still have a scalp at the end. AND bears stink......
I really really really want a bear. They're so cute, it's almost offensive.
ReplyDeleteBears are amazing critters. I like that little hammy though.
ReplyDeleteNice post mate. Put a smile on my seriously depressed face :-)
ReplyDeleteHammy wouldn't want Mr. Bear to bite his bum.
ReplyDeleteThese are tooooo cute, Gleds!!!! Wow, bears sure are adorable given how ferocious and beastly their true natures are! Are those first baby bears that look very light in color really Brown Bear species? They look almost yellow (or perhaps my computer is just junk!). Anyway, I love how you are not afraid to show your soft spot for such creatures, Gleds. Many men (at least the blokes in the U.S. here) would be too "studly" (they THINK)... :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they look like cute teddy bears but I'd rather stay at a very healthy distance from them. They are rather partial to people pudding...
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed that bears walk on four legs. I expect them to be upright like Yogi.
