John Z. Goriup Posted May 11, 2015 Share #1  Posted May 11, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) In West Yellowstone, an extremely touristy village not half a mile from the West entrance to the Park, is the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. There are more than a dozen grizzlies that have been wounded, were found as cubs or simply were too troublesome to remain in the wild. To help raise a little revenue, manufacturers of the types of trash cans and garbage containers used by the park service at ranger housing and park lodges were invited to test their wares under real-world conditions at the Center, with the grizzlies trying to get to the deer carcassses and salmon left in the cans.  The attached show Jake's frustration at not being able to get at the tasty morsels inside. Maybe not the most dignified way for the absolute Lords of the American West to spend their lives, but preferable to the alternative...I could have watched him for hours.  JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

platypus Posted May 11, 2015 Share #3  Posted May 11, 2015 Poor old bear! I hope they gave him something nice and tasty later to make up for all that effort. These are great shots and make a really thought provoking comment......but, yes, very sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted May 12, 2015 Share #4 Â Posted May 12, 2015 Excellent images. I hope the poor Grizzlies didn't break any teeth trying to get at the food. I hate seeing these creatures behind wire fences, but having spent a lot of time in Yellowstone I understand that troublesome bears and humans don't mix well.

The fact that the animals mostly got there first doesn't count and humankind is, in general, not good at backing off and sharing space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted May 12, 2015 Share #6 Â Posted May 12, 2015 John, Â interesting shots and reportage. The troubled relationship can be seen very clearly and should make everybody think about environment protection and one's own behaviour. Thanks for sharing this.
