Hasn't voted | a yearling lamb marc (mountain sheep)...I guess it is not going to get any votes, lol, but a dam important aspect of this route if safety is an issue...I have seen the black bear who trolls this area, he is huge, bigger than many grizzlies. Most people do not realize, but when a black bear attacks, which is rare, but when they do, it is more of a predatory response vs defensive which characterizes most grizzly attacks. A man was just killed in Manitoba, Canada by a black bear predatory attack. Therefore, a black bear attack is normally more serious. Black bear mothers typically do not attack to protect their young. Grizzly females definitly do. We have had two grizzly mother attacks (defensive) in the past two weeks. Quite a few differences. Cheers! | | Posted Sep 4, 2005 12:35 pm |

Voted 10/10 | This is the kind of photos I love to see, in addition to the normal peak-photos.
Interesting. | | Posted Sep 4, 2005 6:26 pm |
| pvalchev | a moment well-captured! | | 
Voted 10/10 | These sorts of sightings really make you think of the power these animals have. Saw similar remains of a baby bear cub 3 years ago... at the base of Mt Lorette, Dow... hehe. A ranger that later looked at it decided a cougar attack... that's another animal often underestimated. | | Posted Sep 5, 2005 3:20 am |
