    The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.
    They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.
    Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.
    It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.
    Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.

    I have a bedrack, and with the swing-down spare tire carrier down and tailgate up, nothing big enough to eat me can get in. I’d be in the safety of the truck bed/cage all like “oh you want THESE cheese its? THESE ONES??? NOM NOM NOM”

    Bears man. Them and mountain lions, it’s always a thing with those guys. I once made friends with two hyenas (pretty sure I did, but I know loyalties are delicate in the animal kingdom) and I feel like if I had some hyenas watching my back I’d be good to go.

    Yup. Felidae... they’ll use litter boxes. That’s what’s up.

    Hermaphrodites as well. Very educational for the kids.

    Honestly though I probably couldn’t afford to feed two hermaphrodites.

    If a hermaphrodite got him/herself pregnant... would it be a clone of themself or would it be a twin of themself? These are the things that keep me up at night.
