We are consolidating and moving!!!

Hi all,

In an effort to have stuff published on a daily basis, hubby and I are combining blogs over at http://darwinbookcats.wordpress.com/

I'll be moving posts from here to over there until there are no more posts to be moved. So, you'll see repeats from me until all the content is moved. However, he'll be updating with new stuff about science, books, and cats.

Thanks!!

I want out!!!

This polar bear broke some aquarium glass with a rock. Maybe he wasn't pleased with his home.

Bear vigilante justice

So, apparently this bear decided to eat an already deceased convicted killer. The bad news, it drug the person out of a car to do it. Wildlife officials decided that it has to be killed as to not potentially harm others.

What, I live here man!!

Teddynator: I'll be back

This is my far one of the best Misery Bear videos.

Tri-pawed Bear

Check out this bear that only has three legs!!  He lives in Denali National Park and he seems to be getting along just fine.

Guard Kitty

These people have a pretty tough cat. It fends off bears.

In college, I majored in tree climbing

A bear in Colorado was tranquilized after it was discovered in a tree outside of a dorm at UC-Boulder. You can check out video here.

Today's Forecast: Bears

These cute black bears walked onto the outdoor weather set of WNEP in Scranton, PA.

Bears vs. Vermont Governor

Ok, so there is no video here, but apparently the governor of Vermont got chased by some bears when he tried to remove the bird feeders they were trying to feed at. This was in the middle of the night. Why worry about it move it the next day!! Anyway, here is the link to the post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/13/bears-chase-peter-shumlin-vermont-governor_n_1423491.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec3_lnk3%26pLid%3D152043

Don't text and walk

People text while doing just about anything these days. For example, this dude was texting and walking and got a little surprise.

Bear Fights: Steven Seagal

Apparently Steven Seagal fights a bear in the movie On Daily Ground.

Bear Fights: Richard Kiel

You may know him better as Jaws from the James Bond movies MoonRaker and The Spy Who Loved Me, but in the movie The Giant of Thunder Mountain, actor Richard Kiel wrestles a bear.

New Baby Polar Bear!!!

Remember Knut, the baby polar bear that was all the rage (may he rest in peace). Well, he had a half sister born recently name Anori. Bask in the cuteness that is a baby polar bear.

Bear Fights: Mr. T

Yesterday, I brought you Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting a bear. In a post of bears past, I brought you Chuck Norris fighting a bear (click here). Well, the next few posts will consist of videos of people fighting bears in movies or TV shows, all thanks to agonybooth.com. Today, an animated Mr. T fights a bear.

Governator vs. a bear

I just found out about this little gem today. Arnold Schwarzenegger fights a man in a really bad bear costume in the movie "Hercules in New York".

Bear Essentials

I stumbled across this little gem today on the interwebs.

It's got bears everywhere!!! http://www.bearessentialnews.com/index.php

Poo!!!

I know you've always wanted to know what bear poo looks like. Well, Drrr has answered your prayers.

Luck of the Polar Bears

St. Patrick's Day is coming up. Let's start the celebration early.

My skin is so itchy!!

In case you didn't know this, bears are a smart. A brown bear was caught exfoliating its skin while bathing in a river. Bears like to look and feel pretty too.

You can read more about it here: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21537-wild-bear-uses-a-stone-to-exfoliate.html

Be Bear Aware

Gas Station Bears

Drrr always has a knack for finding amazing bear sculptures at gas stations. Here is one he sent me yesterday.

I didn't realize pandas were associated with the catching of dreams.

So true....

I certainly thought my teddy bear protected me from all things evil. I was most fearful of aliens after a substitute teacher in elementary school told us all about abductions instead of actually teaching us one day.

Polar Bear Cam!!!

Need to waste time? Why not do it by watching an adorable polar bear.

Bearmageddon!!!!

Fear the bears and the wrath they will unleash on this earth!!!

Seriously, check out the awesomeness of this online graphic novel http://bearmageddon.com/

Across Species Lines

I read in the news recently that the number of interracial marriages are on the rise. Well, the number of interspecies marriages are also on the rise, as evidenced by these cake toppers.

Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

I'm from Louisiana, where one gets out of school for a day of drunken antics. Gosh how I miss that!! Here is a little Mardi Gras bear to celebrate today!!

Classy proposal

Looking for a way to class up a wedding proposal? Take a cue from this guy.

Purity Bear: Take Two

In a previous post, I brought you Purity Bear (http://clairebairesbearblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/purity-bear.html) an abstinence only program. Well Purity Bear is back. This really pushes my buttons, because I know that bears would be for a well-rounded sex education program.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Is your Valentine's Day not turning out as you had hoped. Don't worry, Misery Bear is in the same boat as you.

Stereotype Bear

Don't you think it's a little stereotypical to paint a panda bear statue with scenes from China?

Bear Hugs!!!

Found this fun bear statue at the zoo.

Bear buddy

When at the zoo this past weekend, I had to get a picture with the panda statue. It's only natural.

More looks than Madonna

Smokey the bear has had a ton of looks over the years, but the message is all the same. Check it out.

Close Encounters of the Bear Kind

At to zoo, I was excited because the giant panda was out. In my early views of him, he was at a distance, being a big tease.

Hubby and I then walked around to the other side of the exhibit, and he decided to come close because he heard how much of a lover of the bear community I was. I apologize for the people reflections in the last two pics. There was a family there with small kids, and they were all up near the bear.

Lazy SOBs

The posts for most of the week will be from my recent visit to the zoo. I was eager and ready to see all and any bears. Well, the sloth bears lived up to the "sloth" component of their name, because they wouldn't come out. So all you get to look at today is their sign.

OMG Bieber

Bieber is in awe of how awesome Chuck Norris is.

Chuck Norris Changes into a bear

This is just magic

Arch Nemesis

The  only human stupid enough to fight a bear is Chuck Norris, but that's because Chuck Norris is a bad ass.

Valentine Vomit

Are you planning on preparing a romantic dinner for your valentine? Want a centerpiece to complete your table? I've got the perfect thing for you. I warn you, it looks several old school decorated cakes were mixed together and then vomited back out.

Sad Valentine

Valentine's Day is about two weeks away. Nothing says love like bears, so I'll do some Valentine's related posts so you have some present ideas.

Today, are you sad that someone is your valentine. Then give them this fur covered card, where the bear looks so disappointed to say "I love you".

http://www.etsy.com/listing/90243877/i-love-you-graffiti-bear-furry-applique

I think you made a mistake

This poor seller won't be selling this pendant anytime soon. It's listed at being $15,001.00, instead of $15.00 like some of her other pendants. Ooops.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/88869164/brown-bear-head-pendant

She also has several other bear-related pendants for a much more affordable price.

Moonshine

This shirt warns you not to buy moonshine from bears. But bears have to make a living too and they are very good at making moonshine.

http://www.etsy.com/listing/89027913/please-dont-buy-moonshine-from-the-bears

Purity Bear

Some uptight right-wingers want you to keep in your pants until you are married. They are trying to convince you do do this by using "Purity Bear". It's a sad day when bears are used in abstinence only sex education.

Bear Scandal

I really like the show 30 Rock, it cracks me up. Imagine my delight when they made a slightly scandalous reference to two commercially famous bears last night. It happens around minute 2:58. Enjoy.

Bret likes Bears

If you have ever watched The Flight of the Conchords, you know that Bret wears amazing T-shirts. Luckily, you can purchase some of these shirts, including ones that have bears!!! You'll notice that one of them relates quite nicely to yesterday's bear post.

And if you don't know who The Flight of the Conchords are, here is a little video to introduce you to them.

Beer??

I know a little something about hybrids since I create hybrid fish in the lab. But, a bear-deer hybrid, now that's something.
