Humping Black Bears In the Back Yard_

The drama continues in our back yard...this time two adult black bears...the make VERY big. He clearly thought it was time to make babies. This was taken through a window cause I didn't want to be without a wall between us! She looked a bit shy about being observed in their intimate moment. I'm hoping she won't come back with a little one that she feels the need to ferociously protect and I hope he won't return at all...too big for my comfort level. I've never seen bears humping before...never a dull moment in the country.
Thanks for the visits, comments, suggestions, favs

OMG this took place in your garden? I would never go out if there were bears this close! Lol! Fantastic capture Jane! You really do live in the country!

[FBailey]

Whoa - I'd never let Pearl in the garden again! Great photo opp, but surely a little disconcerting?

[Carole G]

That’s amazing, bears in the garden! I just can’t imagine that, but what a photo op

[Pat Knowles]

Fancy looking through your window & seeing these bears....you must live way out in the wild!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

um no, I wouldn't be going outside just now. well captured

I must say too - people often exclaim - how can you live with all those venomous insects around in Australia? I've always replied, I can outrun a spider, and they can't exactly rip you limb from limb ...

Wow, what a moment to observe - real nature in action! I wouldn't be so keen on having the family move in to the backyard either :)

[Diana]

What a trip. I can’t imagine looking out and seeing a bear ambling by let alone mating! Your narrative made me smile too. Awesome.

Great capture. I am chuckling at me! I am currently freaking out about a possum and skunk that see my garden as a highway between one location and another.
