Yes he was Pete, but then he turned and on his two hind legs he stood up and continued eating apples.
Uh oh! Years ago I saw people out of their cars feeding black bears in Yellowstone. Craziness! Good picture, this one, Ivar!
Excellent shot Ivar. They are amazing animals...who really aren't interested in the taste of humans. Sometimes they just have to demand respect from humans.
Thank you Glenn, it was at nightfall as we spotted him / her just by the roadside. We stayed there a long time just to watch it.
