Before I was born, my parents (we were a Bureau of Public Roads family) were sent to Glacier National Park in Montana to build all the roads. While they were there a bear started eating from the garbage cans in the BPR trailer park. Out of fear the bear would eat up the garbage and start in on the BPR kids, the Montana government sent over a bear trap.
This is a bear trap...
They caught the bear right after sundown the first night it was in place. There were no telephones in this trailer court, so the state was supposed to check the trap every morning. This poor bear sat in the trap and cried its little eyes out all night long. Very sad...apparently half the people in camp wanted to turn it loose and the other half packed up and left till morning.

Species: American Black Bear
Sex: female
Born: c. 1914 in Ontario, Canada
Died: May 12, 1934 (aged 20)in The London Zoo, London, England
Known for being the Inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh
She was bought as a small cub for $20 (probably from the hunter who had shot her mother) at a stop in White River, Ontario, by Lt. Harry Colebourn of The Fort Garry Horse, a Canadian cavalry regiment, en route to the Western Front during the First World War. The bear was smuggled into Britain as an unofficial regimental mascot. Lt. Colebourn, the regiment’s veterinarian, named her after his home city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Before leaving for France, Colebourn left Winnie at London Zoo.
Winnipeg's eventual destination was to have been the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg, but at the end of the War, Colebourn decided to allow Winnie to remain at the London Zoo, where she was much loved for her playfulness and gentleness. Among her fans was A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin, who consequently changed the name of his own teddy bear from "Edward Bear" to "Winnie the Pooh",[1] providing the inspiration for his father's stories about Winnie-the-Pooh.
Quite a good bear indeed!
My sister's teddy bear. She talks. Her voice sounds somewhat like my sister's!

One ton of high speed badass carnivore. Cave markings show that it's claws could reach as high as 15' while standing. Imagine how stressful it would be to run across one of these beasties, in open contry, armed only with a sharpened rock tied to the end of a stick.. Yikes!!!

I was really drunk at a party and was bustin' some great dance moves, I guess. Somebody started calling me Dancing Bear and the handle stuck.
