Bears

This definitely wins the internet today!

It seems to me, and I could be wrong, they are kind of a Montana tourist thing. Not that locals don't enjoy them, because they do, but it seems like every time I see them, it's either in the Airport in the "Montana" section or in the "Montana" section of the grocery store or a local gift shop.

There are some animals that are illegal to own in Montana, but lions and tigers aren't on that list.

When moments like these are captured on video, it really highlights why areas like Yellowstone National Park are so important to our country.

One of the most popular sites to visit in Yellowstone is the Grand Prismatic Spring. It's popular among people and also for bears as recent visitors at the park discovered when they saw a huge grizzly walking down the boardwalk.

I should probably disclose that I'm not very good at math. That being said, I'm having a hard time figuring out how a bear mom and cubs managed to climb and stay in a very fall tree where they appear to defy gravity.

If you're anywhere in Grand Teton National Park, it's a good idea to assume that you're potentially being followed by a bear. That's exactly what happened to a runner in the park recently as he shared video of the encounter.

One of the most famous bears in Wyoming is awake and out of hibernation with her cubs. New video shows Grizzly 399 and the young ones are already awake and out doing bear things.

It's true that some things never seem to change at Yellowstone National Park, but a new family retro video shows that other things have. It dates back to the 1950's and shows how many tourists used to hand-feed bears.

If you're a grizzly in Yellowstone National Park, it doesn't get much better than this. New video shows a big bear sitting on his haunches taking it easy and loving life.

I have seen a lot of crazy wildlife encounters in my life, but I've never seen anything quite like this. A wild video shows a bear running wild through the streets of a city, chase a guy on a phone, get hit by a bus and then everyone ends up OK.

If you visit Yellowstone National Park now, you'll find feeding bears solidly in the "don't" column. But, there was an era many years ago when people were not only allowed to feed bears in Yellowstone, the practice was sort of encouraged.
