When that bear gets an attitude and figures out that the guy is made out of meat and might be something to eat, the game's up.

I love bears...I really do. I live in a wildlife corridor where bears and lions frequently pass through. I appreciate them from a distance. They deserve that.

Timmy just served himself and his girlfriend up as a meal due to his naivete. It made gruesome Discovery channel TV.

I got stalked by a grizzly on a big muskeg patch next to Lake Iliamna, and even though when it lost my scent and it was still a good 200-300 feet away, I was as nervous, or just plain scared, as I had ever been in my life. I still get goose bumps thinking about the bear up on its rear legs busily sniffing the air for my scent with a come out..come out wherever you are posture about it. Eek.

The control is an illusion. The attempt to try to control that kind of a force of nature is a lie. The bear is powerful beyond any human. The bear cannot be contained. It's important to respect and appreciate the power. A bear is unpredictable. I was interested in what people would see looking at this picture.

It sure looks like it. Maybe it was just a little "love nip".
