Title: found a fetus
Post by: littlebuf on August 13, 2009, 05:42:11 PM: yup just like the title says, went up bear hunting last night and right in middle of the road we were walking down was a fetus :yike: wasn't very developed yet and was about 2 1/2 inches long or so. all i can figure that would be pregnant right now is a sow :dunno: there was no blood around and the thing was fresh.it was weird, miscarriage maybe :dunno:

Might be a coyote. They can have 2 or more litters in a year.

Mother natures way to insure the cubs are born in the den. Im pretty sure bears are the only animal like that. But yeah, crazy find none the less.

Went and looked it up and yeah it is 7-8 months and the cubs are actually born in a premature stage of development...really cool stuff....they also have a delayed implantation of the fertilized egg....

I think your coyote idea might be more likely.... a cat might be a possibility as well.

It couldn't be a bear as some of you have learned...delayed implantation.
