I can't document this, but I feel you don't have enough fingers to count
the number of people that have fallen off the trail that runs up to the top of the falls.

Dogs too.

Sometimes one causes the other to slip... sometimes Darwin plays a role.

No, feet...he said old pix rock, not old rock pix.

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (Home of Jack Hanna!)

I fell in love with the Polar Bears. They were all above water and I was watching them (from the above ground viewing) as they went towards the water. I knew they were getting ready to jump in so I hurried down to the underwater viewing area. I was using my video on my phone and ALMOST caught the first one's jump, but I freaked out. I do have video of one eating up a fish he just decapitated.

They're amazing creatures. They were sitting on top of the curved plexi-glass in order to be right in front of the aboveground viewing level. Like they wanted to have their pictures taken! Yes, I know they just wanted to eat us all but they look so darn cuddly.

I have to figure out how to get my video onto my computer...file is too big to send through gmail.

More Bears! And Jack!
 

:)

Those are cool shots! We have no polar bears at our zoo.

Ah yes, they look so cute, like big fluffy dogs with soft pleading eyes, begging you to come innnn and joinnnn them .... so they can eat you. :yum:

I've been told (by a friend who's lived all his adult life in the arctic) that polar bears will actively hunt humans. They're not afraid of anything; they don't have to be. Everything (everyone) is on the menu.

I've always heard that the polar bear is the only animal that will willingly, and, knowingly hunt a human. Other instances of human-hunting are usually wounded animals, or rabid, or otherwise diseased, or starving.

That is an apex predator, right there.

I can't remember the guy's name, but, the old man used to watch a hunting show on one of the outdoor-type channels, where the guy's motto was "I won't hunt anything that can't hunt me back."

I guess importing via the USB/charging cable is out of the equation?

Spencer took this one. He said it was so big that he could see it breathing.
