Bear Enthusiasts, a Rare Breed

[Tshokwane]

I think it's related to the kind of oportunity one has of learning about them. For example, I've learned a lot about lions and leopards by reading blogs written by the people who work with them, and these are pieces that sometimes show a more accurate side of their life than, say, a documentary. 

In comparison, most of what I know about bears, that isn't much I have to say, comes from a few documentaries, and a little bit learned here, and that's it. So I think sometimes little knowledge means one gets less close to that animal. 

Consider the case of tje jaguar, the biggest cat here in Argentina. It's a beautiful, majestic animal, more muscular, bigger and stronger than the leopard. And yet, I like leopards much more because I know so much more about leopards than I do about jaguars.

On a final note, I'm not someone that likes to talk about something I don't know, so I refrain myself of doing so, except for making questions.

But @brotherbear , don't worry. I do like bears, my favourite is the Grizzly bear, the Black bear in second place. I may be more quiet about it, but I really enjoy bears. They present such a contrast than the cat, that is more about balance. The bear is all about power and raw strenght. Big, thick, and huge. Amazing animals. Reply
