welcome to the family, betty and veronica

meet betty and veronica, 2 new grizzly bears in the central park zoo. evidently one is more blonde and the other brunette, but i'm sure she's just dyeing it to meet with manhattan's high standards of beauty.

i'm not sure why ms. danglez assumed we were posting gift suggestions for ourselves (selfish), but i don't have to tell you that everyone who contributes to this blog would love to find a copy of paul nicklen's "bear: spirit of the wild" under their holiday tree.

the great news is it's only $21 at walmart, but we're buying local this year, so find a bookstore that isn't near the interstate or attached to a mall and pay a little bit extra, ok?

you should also know that paul nicklen (@paulnicklen) works as a national geographic (@natgeo) photographer and both have wonderful instagram feeds.

more fun bear pictures here. this one needs to stop and smell the roses.

i just LOVE bears!

bears are the new sharks.

i watched a show last night called 'bear attack!' about bears in alaska and how crazy they are, and i learned a few things i didn't know. for starters, i did NOT know that brown bears and grizzly bears were the same gd kind of bear. and they can run 40 mph!! another other kind of bear in alaska is the black bear. they are smaller and meeker than other bears, but you still shouldn't mess with them too much. if you know what's good for you. i dont think i need to familiarize anyone with polar bears. the media has been over-saturated with these attention whores for years. then there is the majestic kodiak bear, which is basically just a big brown/grizzle bear. made famous by sarah palin not being able to shut up about them, kodiaks are the world's largest bear, averaging around 10 feet tall. finally, the only kind of bear crazier than an alaskan bear is a russian bear.

don't worry about fact-checking any of this. it's all accurate. just wanted to make sure you all know as much as i know about bears. which isnt very much, especially compared to my knowledge of sharks.

(and one other thing you should know is that dave valdini thinks that bears are just people in bear-suits. and that notion makes me ctm at least 3 times a week.)

what is this brown bear doing?
