Bears in the Wood

I’ve never really been in favor of feeding wildlife (other than backyard birds),  but I have to admit watching beer feeding time at Grandfather Mountain off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina near Linville is nothing short of a hoot.  This International Biosphere Reserve’s wildlife habitat is actually first-rate, nothing like your typical zoo.  The bears are a bit tubby, however.  Good luck finding a black bear this burly in the wild!  See more of Grandfather Mountain at www.grandfathermountain.com.
