Bears do not like flamingos.

That is a statement, not a question. I know this becuase I put some plastic pink birdies up at the C-Post Sanctuary to see how the animals would interact. Results were mixed. Here are a few of my observations.

First.....momma bears and baby bears are in no way threatened by them. As a matter of fact, they like to bat them around and knock them all over the place.

However........I believe the solo bear to be male as well as having his own bad intentions. On the next two note time and sequence of events.

So, one had to ask. What does this bear not want me to see? Is this bear possibly part of an underground bear network? Can this bear ride a unicycle?

Upon inspections the flamingos did not appear to be much worse for wear. However, this ninja like bear does have me concerned. Is he a new level of bear evolution? Was he trained by ninjas? Can he dodge an arrow?

Probably should.......but I think this bear could be expecting it. I think stealth....close quarters.....silent and deadly....the bow is the way to hunt this bear.

I think you should test your master ninja skills and just use a knife.

:tup: :yeah: get your caveman on go oldschool just a knife and bacon loincloth  :chuckle:

Careful with the bacon loin cloth:
  • grease splatters so at least wear underoos when you are making the bacon

  • You might not want the bear that interested in a very soft and tender part of your anatomy
  • Bees love bacon too!

R u sure this is even a bear, seems to me a big hairy leg covered up your cam while it found some bark to cover up your viewing experiment.... :dunno:

I am sorry mfswallace.........I'm not a good judge of hairy legs. I don't have the experience from that vantage point...I'll leave it up to your intrepretation. However....at one point he looked into the camera in a very taunting manner. I was taken aback and am a bit offended by the way he is looking at me. As you can see he is smirking a bit.

Also, this bear is a master at concealment. The profile pic is the closest I have to a full face. Mostly he only showed me his butt. Kind of like a ninja bear message.

I think your shape shifting ninja bear had performance anxiety so he covered the camera while he had his way with your pink flamingo. Did you check the flamingo for signs of violation? Your bear is in no way ready for the big screen!
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Few a bit more recent. One silly bear was there 45 min before I walked in. He moved a flamingo about 12 feet away and broke a small tree for good measure.

Silly bears....

Does the WDFW consider Pink Flamingo's bait?  If you are in King County I expect they would :dunno:

It's not a bear. You guys are hilarious! It is obvious its a squatch in a bear suit. You placed your camera in one of his ceremonial areas.
