If Old Faithful were to "flush" when they were in the act, they would have a very unpleasant surprise

I Bet the E.R. might have a good chuckle at their expense, of course only after providing treatment for the scalded "franks & beans". :twisted:

The grizzly bear (Ursus horribilis), is not only much larger, but never occurs as an all-black color. Fur color ranges from pale yellowish to dark brown. There's also a hump over the shoulders, face in profile is dished (black bear has a Roman face in profile); name comes from white tips on fur, giving it a frosted or grizzled effect. Their other scientific name is Ursus arctos. I'm quoting from Petersen's Field Guide to the Mammals of America North of Mexico.
Got pictures of both in Alaska. got a mom and two cubs (grizzly) up at Denali park. mom crossing the road, not really concerned by the bus of people snapping away with cameras!

Once, we were camping, maybe Yellowstone, it's been at least 35-40 years, not sure, but a couple of bears decided to rob a neighboring tent when the people were away. We had just come back to our campsite, and had our food with us, when we saw the bears. Dad told us to stay in the car; he then backed out of our campsite, turned towards the one the bears were getting into, revved the engine and blew the horn until the bears took off. They got away with a pack of cheese slices, though. So we went back to our campsite, and kept an eye on it until our neighbors came back. My dad went over and told them what happened. I don't know if people would do that today, though.

Today, they'd run off the bears and steal the cheese.

That's why I'd lock the beer in the car with pink dye markers. :D:
