It's a very healing thing to be able to watch something like this and totally escape reality for a few minutes.Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-55869552852434617572010-03-07T22:51:19.574-07:002010-03-07T22:51:19.574-07:00It really doesn't seem as though she could be ...It really doesn't seem as though she could be receiving too much moisture from the small amount of snow she's eating. She really keeps it brief - takes care of business and then goes back to sleep. Great footage, KB!

Wonder if your bear is not compensating and the snow eating for water and the urination while denning means she has symptoms of diabetes as houndstooth mentioned. I do hope she is fine since spring is just around the corner.<br /><br />What a beautiful thing she is.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-50922453344315203172010-03-07T15:02:26.743-07:002010-03-07T15:02:26.743-07:00Fascinating video.

It'd be interesting to hear what some bear specialist has to say about whether this bear's behavior is typical or could something be amiss with her.Maery Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897994913879836634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-42599204394926776342010-03-07T10:46:52.689-07:002010-03-07T10:46:52.689-07:00So esciting to see.

What will the scat boys say to see Mom Bear in the act of peeing right before their very eyes! <br /><br />I didn't see the eyes you saw in your photo today. I just saw Mom's from yesterday. Big Snout, and eyes. <br /><br />This is getting more fun right along, KB, you and your darling dog are showing us good things!<br /><br />Cheers,<Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890014621743537798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-37517655838656189072010-03-06T21:39:37.449-07:002010-03-06T21:39:37.449-07:00I'm not sure which is more remarkable - these ...I'm not sure which is more remarkable - these videos or the lions'!<br /><br />It seems you may be on to something here with this bear sow's habits - you never know, maybe you'll be re-writing bear history with the discovery of that urine spot outside the den.<br /><br />It sounds like you had a good day today - just from your post, I can tell that your spirits are pretty high.

Curiosity and all that! Maybe your bear is diabetic. How much longer do you expect the bears to hibernate?
