Kris so sad about the Spring lambs :'(

I can see them in my minds eye gamboling about the hills without a care in the world.

One more reason not to eat meat :hair:

As I just posted on CHIL, the passing of Davy Jones is a shock. He was so relatively young, and because Lori's Dad was friends with Mickey Dolenz (of the Monkees) I feel an additional connection to him and the mortality of people of our generation. <3 I didn't know Davy but I did know Mickey and this will be a blow to the planned Monkees revival tour of the UK. Mike Nesmith's Mom invented Liquid Paper and probably because of the lack of financial motivation he refused to perform with the surviving group, but with Davy's passing there may now not be another Monkees revival tour at all. Davy was their front man. Just last year they were on the BBC promoting the tour they did last year. RIP Davy. :candle:

If, like us, you're fascinated by futuristic transportation concepts, you've no doubt fantasized about touring Q's laboratory from the James Bond films. Where else could you find personal submarines, amphibious cars and transforming vehicles? As it turns out, you'll have to visit Switzerland for that. Swiss shop and automotive think tank Rinspeed has been churning out crazy concepts like the heavy-hauling X-Trem, aquatically-inclined sQuba and shapeshifting Presto for over 3 decades now. Some are even directly inspired by 007's most famous rides!

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE February 29, 2012

Lucky Erupting, Cubs Eyes Opening, and Volunteers


Posted Image :clk:
Jewel and cubs - Feb 29, 2012

When we wrote the update a couple days ago about how long would it be before Lucky and Honey argue, we didn’t know that at 2:22 PM that afternoon they had argued loudly with 3-4 seconds of violent-looking body language. That prompted a quick call on our part to the Curator at the Bear Center who said everything is fine. It didn’t look to us in the video we saw on a Facebook page that there was any biting—just loud threatening. We don’t understand why they are together in there. The mind of the black bear can be baffling.

Be sure to turn your speaker volume down if you watch this video of their confrontation on YouTube.

Are those cub eyes open? - Feb 29, 2012

Some Lily Fans say they are catching the beginnings of eye shine from Jewel’s cubs, which would mean their eyes are opening. We can’t see it ourselves in the videos people have sent, but it is time—38 days, about 5 ½ weeks—that eyes should be opening if they are to be fully open by 6 weeks like the captive bear literature says.

A video of yesterday’s highlights in Jewel’s den is posted here.

Lily starts grooming Faith - Feb 29, 2012

Another Lily Fan sent an old Wild Kingdom program that we had never seen or heard of—Marlin Perkins’ favorite moments from the many programs he and Jim Fowler made. The bears were in it—about 5 minutes into the program at Wild Kingdom Bears. It all happened more than 30 years ago. Lynn looked a lot younger. Guess we all did!

The Volunteer Program web pages went live this evening! Check them out!

Grooming turns to play - Feb 29, 2012

There is so much Lily Fans and volunteers over the years have done to make the research and education here what it is. It’s the only way such a small staff and small budget can come close to keeping up. It’s not surprising, then, that the newsletter the staff is putting together now reflects this. It’s basically many stories of what Lily Fans, other volunteers, and a couple of angels have done these past couple years to make a bigger difference for bears and people’s attitudes than we ever dreamed possible.

Thank you for all you do.

ER that is such a beautiful campaign for the Guide Dogs :)^

Petey looks just adorable and so does his grown up counterpart. Kudos to your DS for all he is doing to train Petey for whoever will get him when he is ready for his future job. You must be so proud of them both. :Hugs:
