Morning Journal<\/h1>\n<p>Species of the Week: Black Bear<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lwxrS6I.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday after school, I headed out for my usual trail run. I made a split second decision to have my run on Mount Seymour since they have opened the gates for the public. On the drive up, I anticipated I may see a bear and right at the parking lot &#8212; guess who I see: a Black Bear! The little black lump in the picture &#8212; do you see it?<\/p>\n<p>I ran a lot of scenarios through my head before and after seeing the bear. They have just recently come out of hibernation (as we saw with Coola and Grinder). What thoughts do you think are running through the bears mind? What kind of feelings? What physical needs?<\/p>\n<p>Would you know what to do if you encountered a black bear? What do you think you would do? What would Ms. Daneshwand need if she is running alone in bear country on the top of a mountain with snow?<\/p>\n<p>Please respond in the comments.<\/p>\n<h1>2.
