HELLO!!!!! I was inspired by my love of bears (and my very good friend Barley over at @bovineblogger ) to make a bear blog! Where I shall rate bears!! Yippee! Feel free to join in and follow along while we rate ALL the bears! Ever!
(Info and disclaimers below the cut)
Profile Picture was commissioned from my lovely friend @catella-ars !!
I do not own any of the bear pictures, images, or videos unless otherwise specified.
I am not here to step on anyone toes, I just want to have a good time with my favorite guys (bears)
What's the best bear conservation charity to donate to, if any?
I have three answers! There are lots of orgs doing important work!
1: The Katmai Conservancy. They are responsible for the fundraising to protect Katmai National Park, where the bear cams are situated. They also sell bear cam merch to raise money, and some of it is super cute.
2: Polar Bears International. They're a critical org for polar bear research and conservation and do a lot of on-the-ground conservation work, like developing new technologies to monitor bears and learn more about their ecological needs in the face of climate change.
3: Animals Asia Foundation. They rescue Asian black bears (AKA moon bears) that are kept in captivity for bile farming, a horrendously abusive industry that keeps bears in small cages for life. AAF both rescues bears and works to end bile farming entirely through political advocacy and education around ending demand.
Thanks for asking! All three orgs are reputable and deserve your support!
The first bear of the day today is!!!! The moon bear!!!!!
Also called the Asian or Asiatic black bear, is a medium sized bear local to Asia!! They have black coats, brown muzzles, and a white crescent marking on their chests (that looks like the moon. Hence the name. Moon bear.)
Fun fact!!! These guys are Mostly herbivorous, but their skulls Aren’t specialized to eat plants like say a panda! Wild!! Insane!! Radical!! Also, most people think sun bears or American black bears are the most bipedal, but actually it’s moon bears! They be walking around on their back legs Allll the time!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5!!! I love bear ears (that’s where the love is stored) and moon bears have the Best bear ears
