Reply #119... it takes intelligence and other skills to perform like this. But, I see it as animal cruelty and as a slap in the face to an animal that deserves respect. Back in the 'Dark Ages' the Church ( which was itself going through some dark times ) displayed performing bears, often dressed like clowns, to tear down the peoples view of the bear. Their scheme was to humiliate the bear as part of an effort to end the widespread bear cults, and to replace the bear with the lion as the new 'King of Beasts'.

BEARS, The Mighty Grizzlies of the West by Julie Argyle. It's amazing. Bears occupy the same spaces we do. They breath the same air and dust. They dig their dens in some of the most magnificent areas. Here in this ecosystem, people build their cabins and residences with the intent to have great views of the forest and mountains. I can assure you, a bear's den never has a bad view and will give you a run for your money. _Tyler Brasington, Bear Biologist, College of Natural Resources, University of Wisconsin _Stevens Point, Wildlife Management, and Bear Management Office, Grand Teton National Park.

Each bear has a personality. No bear is the same. Just like people, they do have unique and distinguished identities which separate them. _Tyler Brasington, Bear Biologist.

Picture recognition of food by sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) October 2019 · Animal Cognition S. TabellarioM. A. BabitzE. B. BauerM. Brown-Palsgrove www.researchgate.net/publication/326821701_Three_Tests_To_Measure_Sloth_Bears%27_Cognitive_Skills Pictures are often used in cognitive research to represent objects and many species have demonstrated the ability to recognize two-dimensional pictures as representations of their three-dimensional counterparts. However, for ursids picture recognition has been reported in only one study of a single 11-year-old female American black bear (Johnson-Ulrich et al. 2016). We tested the picture recognition abilities of an additional species, the sloth bear. After a food preference test by which the bears’ food options were ranked and categorized as high-, mid-, and low-preference items, we tested a sub-adult male and an adult female sloth bear by presenting two pictures of food in each testing trial—a high-preference food and a low-preference food. Both bears met the criterion by choosing the pictures of their preferred foods in at least 80% of the trials in three consecutive testing sessions. We then presented never-before-used pictures of high-preference versus low-preference food items and they again met our criterion.

A unique quality in bears is their ability to appreciate the beauty of their natural world.

www.todaykhv.ru/news/incident/9372/ - We do not leave intentions to shoot Chlamyda. Until the end of November, we still have a license, but he is not a simple bear - he is very cunning. In general, brown bears are smart and, according to the observations of scientists, are superior in ingenuity to apes and wolves, they can perfectly predict the situation, Batalov noted.
