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.

Continued...
Leaving mother and cub behind, Adams returned to the Sierra Nevada on a hunting trip. While he was passing through a chaparral thicket, a huge female grizzly with three cubs sprang upon Adams, knocked his gun away, and threw him to the ground. Ben Franklin attacked the female at the throat, causing the bigger bear to turn on him. This gave Adams time to grab his rifle and kill the sow, but both Ben and Adams carried wicked scars of the fight for the rest of their lives. 
Actually, the capture and domestication of grizzly cubs was not unheard of in those days. To capture and try to domesticate a full-grown grizzly, on the other hand, was considered suicidal. This dubious honor frll to Grizzly Adams in the winter of 1855.
