For no particular reason, neither here nor there.

three-legged black bear video

This is either pretty cool and worth applauding, or just a wee bit unsettling, depending on your point of view. If anything it shows how adaptable black bears can be. Local black bear researcher Tom Beck told me of the archaic leg snares biologists used in bear studies sometimes mutilating the feet of bears -- in one case a sow lost both front feet. 

Not sure where this video originated or any more about it. It's kind of freaky - and may explain some bigfoot sightings!!
