Now this young fella really did some traveling to get to my neighborhood. Must have followed streams and drainage ditches all the way up from the Dismal swamp.

With the personality of alligator snappers! Had one want to attack my Toyota p/u late one night of a country road!Those little badgers look like turtles.
If they getting in my groceries, they are going to become Groceries! Season or Not!
This has been the worst year for bears at my place. Always had them Spring and Fall.....but it has been non stop all Summer. Started in Fall. Typical visits/damage. Then Spring was an unusual amount of visits/damage. Bird feeders were only put out at day time. Then they got them when I was at work. So then only when we were home....but a couple weeks ago bear came right up on deck to get the feeder, day time, with sliding glass door open and us only feet away.....it didn't care. Everyone has for the most part "Bear Proofed" themselves. Now, trash days are a buffet for them...... everyone's cans placed out at end of drives with straps and whatever to secure them....in the am when I drive up the road they are destroyed....I live in a very rural area. All the different Borough and Valley "neighborhoods" have increased with complaints.
My upper/lower and side deck damage has been extensive. Patio furniture has been punctured. Grills/smokers have been wrecked.....found a grill spatula in my front yard licked clean this past weekend....it's been a crazy year for bears.

Yearling dispersing & looking for a new home. Time of year that Momma's got a new boyfriend who likely chased him off! We caught one sub-adult who had twin incisions, about 3" long and an inch deep about 4-5 inches above the base of his tale. Females should have mated in late June - early July but won't implant the embryos until mid-late September IF she has enough body fat!.Now this young fella really did some traveling to get to my neighborhood.

What school? I used to live in Pasadena.
There was a bear wandering around the area here last week and people have been cautioned not to feed it or try to approach it. I work with a dingleberry who intentionally feeds deer and raccoons and put extra out incase the bear stops by. He said that he wants to pet the bear and I believe he is stupid enough to try.

Found this, it's a rabbit species from Argentia. Vid is in Colorado.

My son and I pulled tags for 'Da UP' in Michigan. Since I became unemployed and he doesn't have the funds, we backed out and will start pulling points for the next couple years. I am disappointed I can't take him to get our bearskin rugs but when looking at the cost of the entire trip; We would be in debt over our heads.
I hope to find a private land owner in several years who would be willing to let us take a couple Black Bears.
Yogi - you get another year pass! Hope to see you in a few years!

South of Buffalo, NY more and more bears have noticed! I have seen Facebook photos of them in yards in towns. Tearing up corn fields and in general, being a nuisance! The cabin we stay in out there has game cams and they are often checking out vehicles and the porch. I take my 357mag or 45LC out there depending on my mood.

It's not a true rabbit. A rabbits legs do not move independently, they can not walk, only hop. And yes, I know about the front leg standing rabbits that walk on their front legs.Found this, it's a rabbit species from Argentia. Vid is in Colorado.

I should edit this to say that they can move one of their rear legs independently as in scratching for fleas like a dog. They just can't walk like a dog.

So is this creature an invasive species (pest) that someone let loose after the novelty of owning it wore off?

I went school across from Victory Park where the Rose Parade ended and displayed. I had family in Tujunga, they lived on top of one of the mountains.
