There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
The Grizzly Bear by William H. Wright ( 1909 )... I have sometimes almost thought that these bears, in a way, enjoy the grand view to be had from these heights. Not only have I found their bedrooms high up among the crags and overlooking range upon range of highest mountain, with restful, wide-spreading valleys below; but it has been no unusual experience, while hunting in these high regions, to see an old bear, after feeding for an hour or more far out of reach of my rifle, stroll deliberately out to the edge of some high cliff overlooking all creation, and sit there on his haunches like a dog, swinging his massive head slowly and dignifiedly from side to side. I have already mentioned the grizzly that we called White Jim, on Wilson's Creek in the Selkirks. This old white bear went through this performance nearly every day for three weeks. ....( in my own words )... I have read of this from other sources, that perhaps the grizzly has intelligence enough to appreciate the beauty of the scenery.
