Ringtail Hunting Mice at the Possum Cave

We see him go into the cave and comes out with something in his mouth. At first we panicked that it might be the little possum but they showed up on video a couple hours later.

There is soooo much cuteness in this video.  He carried that apple from the other side of the campsite.

One in the same. It's a ringtail opossum.
I should have had Toy make that clear, many think the ringtail is a cat because miners called the cats when they kept them as pets.
They're great mousers.

The most these bears can weigh is upwards of 600 plus lbs depending on season and stored fat.
I think the Polar bear is only 1000 lbs and much of that is retained in fat.

During spring the brown bear has burned almost all of its body fat, in summer the bear starts storing for winter, and by fall they have an inordinate amount of added weight, as well as muscle mass to pack it around.
Cycles every year.

That little bear video in the middle of the same day is already in trouble, it hasn't any stored energy/fat due to escaping the fires.
Though he's a yearling, he probably won't make it through the coming winter unless man intervenes.

This is my conundrum. Man caused this problem, so I think it is our place to supplement their food, or we've literally killed them ourselves.
In the past I never even left a crumb on the ground, but with the damage Nucellini is inflicting upon the environment, I had to throw out all my old ideas of non intervention.

Thats a really good point, one I hadnt thought of. Sometimes, due to the lefts interference, the right thing may not work. God did place man over his creation, to tend the garden of earth. I just hope the lefts interference in the natural order will be thwarted soon.

Had I not witnessed the damage first hand, I'd probably never have changed. But you're Right, this is a direct result of leftist intervention.

So we have had some interesting bears videos.

What are you feeding them.

Looks like it's going to be a popular nap spot

It was an accidental feeding.  I had a 5 gallon bucket of cheep dog food that I was throwing out for the possums.  The bear found it the night before, ripped open and unscrewed the lid, and then left the bucket in the creek.  It was a bucket full of wet food that would have turned quickly so we just dumped it.  Toy

So the bears in bed, dogs napping on the couch, fires out, a little rain/snow. Life is good.

I've a feeling the bears already bedded down for the winter with full bellies.
Everything else has super thick coats and rain is supposed to start today.
And yes, thank god the fires are out.

Funny, Spring was always something to look forward to, but now I literally dread the idea of summer and fires now.
If it's not arson, it's PG&E under Marxist control burning us out.

Regardless, life is good.  

Good, good.

I don't often share videos of our 2 big dogs but this was to funny.

Those are some really good looking dogs. Looks like they are ready for winter, they have very thick coats.

It's been awhile but this is what happens when you leave a bucket of apples behind by mistake.
