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.
Grizzly Bear (Circus Bear?) and wolf from the Mollie Pack were trying to get to a carcass but these bison were pushing them off. By Mary Bay. Thermal steam is blurring the view. 5/18/07. 1/500, F9, ISO 320
This photo of Circus Bear was taken in late May as he prowled the shores of Yellowstone Lake. For those that aren't familiar with Circus Bear, this big male grizzly was born in 1999 and was one of the first offspring of the grizzly sow, Blaze. Circus Bear was named for the playful behavior he exhibited during his younger years and although he's now a bit more serious, you can still sometimes catch him rolling around on the lake shore or taking a dip in the lake, just like he did when he was a cub. On this morning at the height of breeding season, Circus Bear was all business; making his way along Mary Bay in search of a mate. I haven't seen Circus Bear since that day so I don't know if he found a mate, but I do hope to see him again along the lake shore.
