Tiny the Black Bear and other bears head to their dens

It is the time of year when almost all of the bears have headed into dens. However, we still get treated to seeing some videos of them because I am visiting the trail cams that they passed back in October.

One trail cam captured my favorite bear, Tiny, marking a tree before he headed for his den. I thought that he looked really good. He's super fat, and his limp looks just a bit less bad than in the spring. He's certainly flourished despite the injury that he sustained a few years ago.

On one ominous note, the road-building is continuing into the core of Tiny's territory. I've mentioned this road-building project near our old place in the past, and it breaks my heart to watch the wildlife scattering as their territory is destroyed.

But, for now, Tiny is still doing fine. Check out the video to see that with your own eyes!

  4. I'm beginning to feel sorry for that tree. But the bears are fabulous and so are you with your cameras and editing skills so that we can share these moments in nature. Thank you.

  7. Wow, that is one big bear. I thought the first bear was big...ah no, Tiny eclipses him by a mile. They both look fat and happy and ready for a long winter's sleep.

    I echo Mike, Happy Solstice!

  11. I know that we have to build new roads but I hate to think of the animals losing their land. It is their earth too.
