A fun look at counting bears.......

Counting Bears

Cute--Informative & Funny.
Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link on this Paul. I was a wildlife biologist in Maine for many years and our research biologists were doing this sort of thing 30 years ago. I think they were pioneers in this technique. I once had an orphan cub, a little bigger than these, which I placed in the den of a female we knew about. The only thing different we did was to put some strong scent on the cub to mask the smell of being handled by humans. They really are cute just like in this clip. Thanks.

Ken & Peter,I too thought this was a very nice video. It was good to see the person who was the TV or Radio talent had a pleasant sense of humor as well as some good heart felt feelings towards the bears and their well being in general.

Rick Mercer and the RMR (Rick Mercer Reports) is a well known TV celebrity here in Canada, and he's always pulling stunts and doing unusual "reports" like this. For those unfamiliar with Canada's Parks, Algonquin was Ontario's first Provincial Park established in 1893, and is the largest Park in central Ontario. It is also one of the most biologically and ecologically diverse regions in Canada, and the headwaters of 5 major rivers feeding southern Ontario. it pulls in half a million canoeists, campers, hikers, boaters, fishermen, photographers and artists a year because of the wildlife, fauna and natural beauty with hundreds of rivers and lakes to explore. There is only one road that crosses through the bottom of the park, but access to the interior of the park is only by hiking trails, or water. There are no interior roads. I hope that helps.

I hope that helps.

Garry, thank you so much for this information. Sounds like a great place to visit and take in some photo work too. I thought the RMR production was very well done and in excellent taste too......
