8/12/2005: Tightrope bear
This totally amazing set comes from xoxoxoBruce, who says they were taken in Connellsville, PA and never published as far as he knows. Happy Friday. |

Well, looks like my bear-bags are pretty much worthless now.. and that has to be some pretty dang strong rope to hold that ball of fur up

Awesome! I love this set of pictures. They tell a story, and the story is a funny and amazing one. I had no idea that bears could do that.

Bears are so cool. I love furry critters sooooooo much. Even if they do have big, pointy teeth.

"some of these products have been tested by trial and error through direct experience with bears,"

Shenanigans!
I'm calling shenanigans on these pictures!
Nevermind the fact that the rope would have to be incredibly strong (which it doesn't look to be), but look at the size of the trees… I can’t see them supporting this type of weight. And lastly, who uses industrial strength rope to hang a bird feeder the probably only weights a few pounds? |

That forest looks pretty lush - was there a shortage on nuts and berries and other yummy things that forced Mr. Bear to go to such great lenghts for some flippin' bird seed?

Notice the rope is stretching a bit. It feels the load. And trees. Trees are strong. But yeah, if you are saying these pictures are unbelievable, I agree with you. |

cool pics. Very good. I like me some bears...as long as they're in pictures. Looking at them you wouldn't think they'd rip your lungs out, would you Jim? I don't think the bear wanted the bird seed as bad as he was hyper-curious about what the hell it was. I've seen honey bees build hives in things like this before.
Two more frames and he'd of busted his ass. About the rope: Nothing is as it seems in Jellystone Park. Four more frames and we'd have seen the Ranger.
