Tiny the Black Bear on the Mating Trail

On the same bear marking trail as I featured last week, Tiny the Black Bear marked soon after the others. First, a sow came through, sniffing the tree to see what bears had marked it. It is possible that the sow was a long-time beau of Tiny's but I am not certain yet. Then, Tiny followed about six days later. He was in fine form, obviously ready for mating season to get underway.

Enjoy the video!

  8. We hope Tiny finds a girl or two to hook up with for all the effort he puts into marking that tree.

  9. I love to see him sitting, those feet propped out in front, and is he favouring one hind leg, or is that the way he walks, waddling off slowly? SO glad to see Tiny here again,He was so sure he had to go back and have another turn, then the next day a very brief stop, loved it all.

    1. Yes, he is favoring his right hind paw. It has been injured for a few years, and he ist still doing fine! I'm glad that you loved it!

  11. Interesting to watch. I have to think that not only is he marking the tree but I bet it feels good to rub up against it. Like a good back scratch!
