Basically, it's all about how big your back yard is...


GOLDEN, B.C. — Boo the bear has a taste for freedom that apparently wasn't satisfied the first time he broke out of his man-made den at a B.C. resort in search of a girlfriend.
Just a day after his first, two-week romp in the wild ended with a tranquillizer dart and a helicopter ride, the grizzly pulled an even greater escape.

Sometime on the weekend, the bear smashed his way through a massive locked door and three fences at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort near Golden, the Calgary Herald reported Tuesday.
"Boo is out again. It's unbelievable," said Michael Dalzell, spokesman for Kicking Horse. "We thought there was no way. It was absolutely impossible, but he found a way. It was basically like breaking out of Fort Knox."

This time, Boo outdid himself — putting to shame his first bid for freedom when he dug under a fence and into the paws of a sow.
This time, he smashed his way through a 180-kilogram steel door, barrelled through two electric fences and then scrambled over a 3.6-metre fence reinforced with 60 centimetres of steel below ground.

That's a grizzly. A brown bear is a poodle compared to that.

You're thinking of a black bear. A brown and a grizzly are the same, no?

 

[zahgurim]

Not even close.

Actually, you're wrong.

That I didn't know. I've never heard of a grizzly referred to as anything but.

I was indeed thinking of a black bear. My cousin got his tent ripped apart by one once. He got all pissy when we asked him if he soiled himself...so we assumed that meant that he did.

Does it make it more confusing that Black Bear can be brown too?

Kelowna.

 

[BuddhaRoadkill]

Henderson suggested he may just have been tired of being behind a fence once he realized there is life beyond his enclosure.

So ... why keep him then?

Be free massive mankilling machine, be free!!

Black bears can be brown and brown bears can actually be blond. Screw picnic baskets we need to keep those critters out of the hair dye.

There has got to be a "Grizzly Man" joke in here somewhere.

And black bears can be blond or even white.

Yep. Ursus arctos.

"Grizzly" is basically just a large brown bear. Just like the Kodiak. Technically, they're called 'sub-species' but that's like Great Danes and Schnauzers are both dogs...

I can't say if a Blond Bear has more fun, but it's likely to get more attention...

Actually, Im pretty sure it's argued that Kodiak's are a subspecies, but that grizzlies are generally recognized as regular brown bears, only they're bigger because they live in coastal areas and have access to salmon. The grow bigger because of a more plentiful food supply, but are the same.

Keeping a grizzly in captivity is moronic.

I did see a big brown colored black bear last night riding. He was startled but stayed put until my friend and I got close. Then there was that whole staredown thing. I usually throw rocks at them and try to spook them away but this one looked like he might have retaliated.

I've seen a few grizzlies in montana but I NEVER want to see a kodiak. Those things are mutants.

Grand theft Picnic baskets , and contributing to the deliquency of a Minor

 

[Potroast88]

I heard this story on the radio this morning. They said that the bear was scheduled to be neutered. I'd probably try to bust out, too.

bears rock

 

[jdcamb]

Cuz for no reason they will eat your freekin head off! Thats why. Think about that the next time you go camping and hear one rummaging through your campsite.
