Grizzly bear observations?

[ChrisM]

Hi all,

 

Hope I have the right chat room for this - apologies if I don't. Just a quick note to remind everyone how important it is to report grizzly bear observations in the North Cascades. As a bear researcher and conservationist I am part of a team that is trying to learn more about these elusive creatures (fewer than 20 remain in this 10,000 square mile North Cascades Ecosystem). There's an easy way to report grizzly bear sightings on our website at:

There is also some great information about how to tell the difference between a grizzly bear and a black bear at:

Thanks all,

Thanks for the headsup Chris.

 

Very cool research! I would love to see a griz in the cascades - from a bit of a distance, of course.

I thought the key difference between grizzly and black bears was in the scat....ya know....grizzly bear's have bells in it and smell like pepper spray....

 

Sorry, couldn't resist!
