Given this seems a regular occurrence in terms of the frequency of feeding and thus every bear has likely been there before at one time or another, it reminds me of something I read. I believe it was posted on here, that the bear has a smell version of what I equate to a visuo-spatial sketchpad (a component of a memory theory within psychological study). It stated that they had almost a built in navigation system from smell alone, a smell map one could say. And you can see how effective it is in locating areas of nutrition, and those which served them well in the past. Great stuff.

Well, if police would train bears instead of dogs, they would find so much more whatever they are searching. Bear has one of the best sense of smells there is, there is no dog breed able to come even close. Really, not even close! That comparison just to give a bit impression about it, what we are talking about, when bear nose is topic. They can track down pretty much anything, when they choose to do so. Reply
