Oh, my! Lions Tigers & BEARS!


Here is a Bear that was in my friend Kerri’s yard. This bear liked to hang out at her son’s bus stop which you can see from her back window. Guess he thought it was easy pickings. Maybe now that school is out, maybe she will go somewhere else. Mike and I house sat for them last summer and there was evidence of a bear hanging out then also. Not for sure it is the same one though. Sydney and Josie (Kerri’s daughter) like to play out in her yard. So that makes me a little nervous. If you ask Kerri, she would probably bump yard work up to an extreme sport. The goal is to see how fast you can get your flowers planted without being dinner to the bear. But the longer you live her in Alaska, the more you get used to sharing the backyard with all the wildlife. The bottom picture is the bear in her back yard, where the children play. The top picture is the bear going to make an unannounce visit to her neighbors.

It was reported in the Anchorage Daily News a couple weeks ago that a mother moose is more dangerous and deadly than a bear. Makes sense, us moms can be mean when you mess with our kids.
