Teddy Bears ? - 1

            Souvent considérés comme des carnivores dévoreurs de brebis, les ours sont des animaux bien plus pacifiques qu’on ne le croit. Qu’ils soient blancs ou bruns, il nous faut désormais apprendre à partager avec eux certains territoires, seul moyen pour protéger efficacement paysages, troupeaux et animaux sauvages …

Avec l’ours, il y a des rencontres dangereuses, telle celle de Leonardo DiCaprio dans The Revenant face à une bête pas franchement amicale. 

Il y a aussi des confrontations qui se passent mieux, comme lorsque Boucle d’or (certes un peu inquiète) se réveille face aux trois ours bruns. 

Au cours de sa vie d’aventurier, entamée il y a une trentaine d’années, Rémy Marion a lui aussi expérimenté, avec des ours de toutes sortes, des face-à-face successivement risqués, pacifiques, indifférents, fraternels, ou distants. 

Le documentariste y fait écho dans son dernier livre, l’Ours : l’autre de l’homme (Actes Sud, 2018) où il passe en revue les relations qui unissent l’humain et la bête dans un grand nombre de cultures tout autour du globe. 

Car si nous percevons aujourd’hui l’ours comme un animal uniquement fréquentable à l’état de peluche, l’histoire nous rappelle que nous avons plus d’un point commun avec le plantigrade !

______________________________________________

Often considered to be carnivores that devour sheep, bears are much more peaceful animals than we think. Whether they are white or brown, we must now learn to share certain territories with them, the only way to effectively protect landscapes, herds and wild animals...

With the bear, there are dangerous encounters, such as that of Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant facing a not exactly friendly beast.

There are also confrontations that go better, like when Goldilocks (admittedly a little worried) wakes up facing the three brown bears.

During his life as an adventurer, which began around thirty years ago, Rémy Marion also experienced, with bears of all kinds, face-to-face encounters that were successively risky, peaceful, indifferent, fraternal, or distant. .

The documentarian echoes this in his latest book, l'Ours: l'autre de l'homme (Actes Sud, 2018) where he reviews the relationships that unite humans and beasts in a large number of cultures all around of the globe.

Because if today we perceive the bear as an animal that can only be visited in its stuffed form, history reminds us that we have more than one thing in common with the plantigrade !
