Bear Alert!
Apparently the grizzly bears in Yellowstone have begun emerging from hibernation. It sounds like now would be a great time to visit the world’s first National Park:
Soon after emerging from their dens, bears begin looking for food. They’re attracted to elk and bison carcasses, and will defend them aggressively if anyone comes too close.Park regulations require you to stay a hundred yards — the length of a football field — away from black and grizzly bears. Park rangers suggest using your binoculars, telescope, or telephoto lens to get a closer look.
Yellowstone officials advise hikers, snowshoers, and cross-country skiers to travel in groups of three or more, make noise on the trail, and keep an eye out for bears. Bear sightings should be reported to the nearest visitor center or ranger station as soon as possible.
Let’s go see the bears!
I just hope someone tells Stephen Colbert for whom these cuddly creatures are:
“godless killing machines without a soul,” or as he said on The O’Reilly Factor, “giant marauding godless killing machines.”
Yeah, this could be bad. Can someone get him a memo on this, please?
