The other day, I checked a cam that I haven't checked since late last winter. It is pointed at a pond where I tend to get footage of elk and moose.
Much to my surprise, Tiny was there in early May. He took a bath, probably his first one since before he went into his den late last summer.
He seemed very relaxed as he floated in the pond. Then, he picked up a stick from in the pond, and he used it to scratch his head. As far as I know, it's a very rare observation of a black bear using a tool.
Enjoy the video!
oh he looks a little like Mark who took a bath too.. in a puddle ;O)))

How cool is that?! 🥰
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting video...who knew?
ReplyDeleteSo good to see Tiny, and maybe to lift your spirits after the last days with problems at home. I wonder if this was his first bath after winter.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that it's probably his first bath in nine months. Can you imagine?
DeleteHe certainly looks relaxed. Glad his foot seems to be healing. So interesting about the stick.
ReplyDeleteNow that was one smart idea and he seemed to have enjoyed that bath very much.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun video KB.. I had no idea that they could use tools to scratch their head either!

Isn't that funny! What a smart bear. I like how he chewed on it a little bit like a dog too. :)

That was quite a catch, wasn't it? I didn't know they actually use tools, holding a stick in his paw. Congrats on this interesting video.
