Project Grizzly, a six-part docu-series, follows bear trainer Jeff Watson and his two rescued bears, Bob and Screech, as Watson attempts to return them to the wild where they belong. A crisis of conscience has spurred him to do the unprecedented – introduce his two 700-pound grizzlies, animals that were raised as his kin, to the wild. Jeff must teach the bears every skill they don’t currently possess in order to survive the deep wild.

The mission of the non-profit North American Bear Center is to advance the long-term survival of bears worldwide by replacing misconceptions with scientific facts about bears, their role in ecosystems, and their relations with humans.
There is a huge need for accurate information about bears worldwide.
Bears have been unfairly demonized for centuries. Exaggerated perceptions of danger historically led to eradication campaigns using bounties, poison, trapping, and shooting. All eight bear species around the world are now listed as vulnerable, threatened or endangered in all or portions of their ranges. Remote habitats that once insured isolation and protection are now being occupied by people, and the attitudes of these people will determine the future of those populations.
The Bear Center is dedicated to replacing misconceptions with facts worldwide. It is also working to conserve bear habitat, stop poaching for bear body parts, rehabilitate injured and orphaned bears back to the wild, and implement methods to reduce conflict between humans and bears.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is preparing to strip Yellowstone’s grizzly bears of their critical Endangered Species Act protections — even though their population hasn’t grown in over a decade and they continue to suffer from shrinking habitat, isolation, disappearing food sources and other threats. Tell the Fish & Wildlife Service to abandon this disastrous plan and give grizzlies a fighting chance at long-term recovery. Read More…

A Baby Panda Tries To Runaway From Naptime. Now Watch What Mom Does…

Parents play a vital role in our lives. They are our main role models, and they help guide us through the early stages of life. This is not only true for humans, but it’s true for every species in the animal kingdom.
In the video below, a Mama panda notices that her baby is trying to escape nap time, so she takes charge and puts him right back to sleep. Mama knows best, and sleep is vital to the young panda’s development and growth.
Mama is enjoying a meal after a busy day of parenting. She thinks her baby is asleep, but the video shows the little panda baby wandering around the rooms at Taipei Zoo. Finally, the baby peeks in, and Mom notices that her baby is wide awake. She immediately drops her food and runs to grab her baby. Mom literally drags him back to bed!

The laws of nature are often unkind when tiny animals come across larger, fiercer creatures. When an apex predator discovers a defenseless, weaker prey in the wild, the hierarchy of the food chain comes into play, and the results are far from pretty.
But someone forgot to tell this to Mäuschen, an 800 pound asiatic bear, and her adorable house cat friend, Muschi.
In 2000, employees at the Berlin Zoo noticed that a mysterious house cat started to appear around Mäuschen’s enclosure.
National Geographic
Instead of harming the little kitty, Mäuschen was thrilled to have a new pal.
National Geographic
The two quickly became inseparable.
In 2007, Muschi and Mäuschen were kept apart while the bear’s enclosure was expanded.
National Geographic
Muschi was so upset that she would sit outside of her friend’s temporary cage and cry.
National Geographic
After that, the two were never apart again.
National Geographic
When they were reunited, they greeted each other with hugs and lots of love.
National Geographic
It is still unknown where Muschi came from or why she was so drawn to Mäuschen, but their incredible friendship is undeniable.
National Geographic
What adorable unlikely best friends!
It’s incredible to witness just how two completely different creatures can make such a connection. Mäuschen and Muschi are best friends for life.
Share their touching story with your friends who love animals!
