Thanks for that correct...wolf21m, you are so right. Thanks for that correction. I think the little guy's fur was brown, but it was a black bear.<BR/><BR/>I don't watch much TV, so the only coverage I saw on this was from the Statesman (and - before that- from my daughter, who goes to East and reported it as soon asw she got home that day). I didn't detect fear so much as a sense of wonder that we have BEARS in fast-growing Boise. <BR/><BR/>I understand why East's principals decided to keep the kids inside - probably to keep the little bear from being traumatized by a few hundred teens.Julie Fanselowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914548762794031621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013171032984104822.post-4144197820132975302007-09-24T06:47:00.000-07:002007-09-24T06:47:00.000-07:00Only a minor correction - It was a black bear. If ...Only a minor correction - It was a black bear. If it really was a brown bear (grizzly) then people might have a reason for concern. Being that it was a small black bear it was amazing the "fear" expressed by the local news media. Anyone spending any time in the woods knowns that the only part of a black bear you usually see is its butt as it runs away. Of course there are always exceptions, but extremely rare.wolf21mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699017294641611884noreply@blogger.com
