November 19, 2007: Bear vs. Truck

Many people commented on the "creepy claws". They're really just a very good digging tool for the bear. Bears eat small rodents and even insect living in the ground so the claws are used for digging in the dirt as opposed to scratching your eyes out or something more depraved. Bears are amazing animals. And - fun fact to know and tell - bears have the best sense of smell of any animal out there. Yeah, even better than a blood hound. Too bad we can't train them to do airport security!

Welcome to the Cellar Katie.

You're right about the claws being survival tools. They also use them to tear open rotten wood (logs), for the insects.
