Grumpy Bear - a photo on Flickriver

Grumpy Bear

            Most Black Bears I come across seem either frightened of, or indifferent to humans.  So they either move away, or ignore you and go about their business.  But this big male acted differently.  He made confrontational eye-contact for long periods, and here he has his head lowered looking like he's about to charge like a bull. Fortunately we were in a boat at the time or we would have not hung around to take a photograph.  We had seen three or four other bears in the previous 15 minutes but all of these had retreated from shore to forest long before we arrived.  The reason there were so many bears was because it was low tide, and this is when bears venture to the shore to search for crabs and shellfish to supplement their mainly vegetarian diet.  This was at Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
