Bear Cub Climbs Tree, Is Cute
Bear blogging is clearly the it-trend of summer 2008. So, lucky for us, an adorable baby bear story unfolded in our own back yard yesterday. A 30-pound black bear cub climbed a tree in a heavily populated Frederick, MD neighborhood yesterday, where he hung around for almost 5 hours. NBC4 has video of him being generally adorable and licking a lot. He finally came down of his own accord, spotted an apple in the yard nearby, and helped himself to a snack. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) considered tranquilizing the bear to get him down, but since he was 60+ feet off the ground, and sooooooooo cute, they just waited it out till he was good and ready. DNR let the bear make his own decisions because, as a "teenage bear," he's got to learn things on his own. And, his mom probably already kicked him out of the den so she could get busy and make more cuddly baby bears. DNR ultimately caged the cub and returned it to the wild.

You know, it took me a couple of minutes to realize that you were talking about a bear, bear and not some baby bear that just started to go to the eagle.

Nobody made a big deal when I climbed a tree naked except for my leather chaps.

Signs of a slow news week within the DC area are upon us when a bear climbing a tree makes the cut.

Slow news week in DC? It was on the Today Show this morning!

Yr a monkey, not a bear. Monkeys are not "cute." Especially when you start hucking poo. Leather chaps don't cancel out the feces-launching.
Let us know the next time you climb up on the farecard machines at Farrugut North and you'll get some media attention.

I'm trying to make a funny using the words "young" "bear" and "top." Feel free to add your attempts.

When i saw this on the Today show, I could "almost" see the reporter roll her eyes at the lameness of this "news story."
