Just some pics of what the family got to do the other night - baby black bears, what a hoot! ANyway, just thought we’d share with our FAOL family. Enjoy!

Cathy and a new friend:

The Kid and his friend Loren with a couple of young cubs:

Dad and the cubs:

Nothing but a dry well…but he worked on it for about half an hour:

Bears, claws and blood, hmmm:

I think that hand will survive - no teeth yet:

Bed time:

My big ole belly must have reminded him of momma…:

So long for now!

Hope you all enjoyed this. We had a blast!

That’s really awesome Kelly! I’m impressed there doesn’t seem to be any fly material…er…I mean FUR missing from those youngsters! :o)

So…whats the story? These cubs have collars…are they on loan from a zoo or something?

;)Who said there’s no fur missing…just kidding. Yep, these are captive bred bears at our local Bear park.

Thanks Kelly,
You brought a smile. We recently lost a miniature schnauzer that used to sleep on my belly just like that cub bear.

Those are the cutest little guys I’ve seen but I can’t take my eyes off that nice soft belly fur. Just a couple of quick passes with an electric razor and… Bad Eight Thumbs, Very Bad! Boy those claws could redecorate your whole house in the matter of a couple of hours. Thanks for sharing some great photo’s. 8T :slight_smile:

Kelly,

Great photos. Baby critters are soooo cute. Even a baby possum is cute.

Kelly, thanks for the photos of the family and bear cubs. Y’all got to do what most people will never get to do, hold wild animals. I worked outdoors most of my life and got to see wild critters daily but did not hold any of them. I think they might have taken offense to that. Thanks again for the photos, take care, John.

Thanks for everyone’s responses. This was a fun experience for the family and one I’ll chalk up to once in a lifetime. Glad we were able to share with everyone.

Kelly.
