有心栽花花不开,无意插柳柳成荫。昨天带着两个丫头去找熊失望而归,今天带她们去Hiking却遇到了熊!而且是一家三口,熊妈妈带着两个熊孩子!前天,我们在一个山顶上看到远处的山谷绿荫环抱中有一个湖泊绿得如同一块翡翠,那么晶莹剔透。很想过去看看,但是当时天色已晚,所以说好了过两天再来。这不,昨天找了一天的熊也没见到熊的影子,两个孩子有些失望,都说;今天不要再去找熊了,还是Hiking去看那个湖泊吧!

       今天天气还不错蓝天白云,我们的车在穿过森林的公路上奔跑。忽然,路边灌木丛在有一团黑影在动,“熊!是熊!”我迅速靠边停车,关了发动机仔细看了看。这是三只黑熊,是熊妈妈带着出生不久的两只熊孩子在森林边缘的灌木丛中采食浆果。我先慢慢打开车门下车观察了一下,看到它们只顾大快朵颐,根本没注意到我们的存在,或者说根本不介意我们的存在,我放心的示意孩子们拿起相机下车站在我的身边。这时,尽管我们和黑熊一家的距离只有三,四米远。可是,黑熊妈妈根本无视我们只顾不停的把那些红红的浆果往嘴里塞,倒是那两个熊孩子十分调皮,一会儿蹦蹦跳跳地跑到树丛中不见了,一会儿又跟在妈妈身边坐在地上把灌木枝抱在怀里用鲜红的舌头舔食浆果。遇到那些长在高处够不着的浆果,它还会像人一样两脚着地站起来把树枝拉低,把那些红红的果子一扫而光。

      整整一个小时,我们不停的跟着黑熊一家,尽情地拍,尽情滴看;终于,它们吃饱了消失在密林深处。最有意思的是,熊妈妈已经走进密林不见了,有一个熊孩子看起来还不想走,居然,停下来转过身对着我们摆起了Pose,真是萌死人了!当它们终于不见了,两个丫头再也按耐不住,开心地又笑又叫,大声喊着,完美了!太完美了!我也很开心,毕竟,这也是我近距离的第一次看到带着宝宝的黑熊。

jinyouzi 回复 悄悄话 Although an adult bear is quite capable of killing a human, American black bears typically avoid confronting humans when possible. Unlike grizzly bears, which became a subject of fearsome legend among the European settlers of North America, black bears were rarely considered overly dangerous, even though they lived in areas where the pioneers had settled. Black bears rarely attack when confronted by humans, and usually limit themselves to making mock charges, emitting blowing noises and swatting the ground with their forepaws. However, according to Stephen Herrero in his Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance, 23 people were killed by black bears from 1900 to 1980. The number of black bear attacks on humans is higher than those of the brown bear in North America, though this is largely because the black species considerably outnumbers the brown rather than greater aggressiveness.
黑熊轻易不咬人。
bo'smam 回复 悄悄话 temptemp is right. this is too dangerous.
temptemp 回复 悄悄话 This is very dangerous. It seems to me the mother bear is ready to attack from your picture.
Never, ever getting too close to a mother bear and her cub. I am so glad you and your daughters are ok.
