The Bears Among Us by John Seidensticker Paul Shepard and Barry Sanders place the bear in a cultural context in The Sacred Paw: The Bear in Nature, Myth and Literature. Bear myths and rituals, they conclude, center on the theme of renewal, including the reincarnation of the soul, the symbolic replenishment of food, the passage of initiation, or the renewal of clan power. Bears are the symbolic image of brave deeds. It is best to back off from an encounter like this, and in my experience bears also seem to know this. After the adrenaline subsides, there is time to consider what Shepard and Sanders have so eloquently written: "The bear strikes a cord in us of fear and caution, curiosity and fascination…a kind of ideogram of humankind in the wilderness, a thorough telling of what we were and perhaps what we lost: wily, smart, strong, agile, and independent in ways that we humans left behind when we took up residence in the city." As a curator of bears, I reaffirm this connection with a bear nearly every morning when I make my rounds. So can you with a visit to see our bears at the National Zoo.

MALAYAN SUN BEAR Southeast Asia Unknown The smallest bear in the world, an adult male Malayan sun bear is about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall when standing on its hind legs and can weigh up to 140 pounds (64 kg). Despite their small size, sun bears can be very dangerous. Species Description and Natural History Named for the golden crescent, or "U" shaped golden patch on their chest, sun bears are otherwise all black with smooth, short fur. They are increasingly rare residents of tropical rain forest in southern China, Burma, Malaysia, Sumatra, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Borneo. Malayan sun bears are skillful climbers, aided by long sickle-shaped claws on all four feet. These extremely long claws up to six inches allow the bears to dig for honey and grubs, which they lick up using their long tongues. The bears are omnivores. Their diet also includes fruits, insects, small mammals, and birds. Sun bears sometimes will damage coconut palm, banana, and cocoa plantations through foraging. They usually are nocturnal creatures. Smell is the sun bear's most important sense and their eyesight is not very good.

30. Wild Ideas Bearikade: Animal Resistant Food Canister For Backpacking, Camping An Manufactures and sells food canisters for protection against bears. Also rents cannisters. http://wild-ideas.net

Welcome to wild-ideas.net Wild Ideas Bearikade: animal resistant food canister for backpacking, camping and hiking Bearikade Intro: What is a Bearikade ? The Bearikade is a bear resistant container made of a lightweight composite sandwich. The Bearikade is easily opened by a human using the edge of a coin or other flat object such as a screwdriver blade. Animals, on the other hand, find it virtually impossible to open. The Bearikade is available in two sizes; the Weekender MKII , which will hold about 6 person days of food (2 people for 3 days) and weighs 1 pound 15 ounces or the Expedition MKII which holds about 9 person days of food and weighs 2 pounds 5 ounces. For some common questions you might have, please check out our Bearikade FAQs Overview: Enjoying and sharing the wilderness with permanent lodgers such as Black Bears requires the diligent backpacker to plan how to keep food, toiletries and other items with odors safely secured from these intelligent, inquisitive and strong neighbors. The Bearikade food canister was introduced in the 1999 season and is currently used by Rangers in Gates of the Arctic, ANWR, Olympic, Mt. Rainier, North Cascades, Yosemite, Kings Canyon/Sequoia and Inyo. It is the lightest weight food canister approved for use in the Sierra Nevada mountains and National Park. New Features: The Bearikade food canister introduced the use of the highest strength-to-weight ratio materials developed to meet aerospace requirements. The design geometry was chosen after reviewing thousands of questionnaires submitted to Park Officials by backpackers. The large opening answered the number one complaint that existing products had too small an opening. The external diameter is dictated by the design goal to keep Grizzly Bears from getting a jaw lock on the canister. O-ring seals make the unit moisture resistant and limit the broadcast of odor to a much smaller area. A lanyard is included in order to keep the hatch from being under foot or lost. The use of automotive/aircraft/watercraft quarter turn fasteners simplifies hatch removal without special tools (coin or washer is all it takes).
