Bear Cam!
Categories: Animals
We like "cams" -- head cam footage from the Grafton Zipline, for example, or the first-ever turkey vulture cam. But now we bring you, courtesy of the Missouri Department of Conservation: Bear Cam!
What the MDC is doing is tranquilizing black bears and then fitting them with a camera that's designed to shoot for a few hours and subsequently fall off.
The camera then releases a signal so the conservation agents can find it.
As you can see, at least one bear got a little bear-curious about a machine falling off its body, and then knocked it over.
Another scientific fact learned via bear cam: Bears get really "tonguey" about drinking water,
Onward, the march of science!
