Bears are creatures of habit. They return to where they've found food before. One stops by my house on some nights, always around 2 am. This bear apparently takes a morning lap through a campground, ignoring the people starting to stir in their tents and fishing at the lake in the background.

Dear Pat Jackson…. What is it Ya?
Looks like a Brown Bear, similar to a Grizzly.
Because humans are the intruders, or that the nature of the beast. Is a daring photographer.
It's a black bear in the Mono Lake Basin, in California's Eastern Sierra Region.

+NATHALIE MEYER Under most conditions a black bear in California is no more dangerous than a big wild dog. Don't walk up to pet them, don't challenge one who might protect her cubs, don't surprise them.
In Yosemite Valley, the bears accustomed to humans and generation after generation of bears have trained their cubs to break into cars to eat human food. In most recent years there are over 700 vehicles broken into, several per day during the season they're most active and not hibernating. Outside of Yosemite the bears tend to be more afraid of people and they are less likely to approach, but in recent years the most aggressive bears in Yosemite Valley have been trapped and transported to other areas of the Sierra Nevada.
The population of bears in the Sierra Nevada has gone up in recent decades, so there is more competition for their natural food. With very little snow last Winter and a severe drought in effect, this year is particularly challenging for the bears and their natural food supplies, so they have been foraging in human settlements for trash cans, bird feeders, fruit trees, and in campgrounds for food left on tables This one probably smelled breakfast.
Where is my breakfast?
Another great capture, love the bears… but hey I don't want to share my breakfast with them… ha ha ha
Thanks +Jeff Sullivan for these explanations. Very interesting. I couldn't imagine these animals were so close to humans. That's a shame for the bears though. We don't have so much bears in France. We are trying increase the population but places are missing. Anyway, wouldn't apreciate to share my breakfast either!!!
Pooh?
its a pleasent & terrible show of a bear,i think it was in hungry situation.take care.
