Wise Mama Bear

Great day w/bear management
wildlife biologists;
much to see
in wild territory

incl amazing creatures
w/mama bears' gutteral raw instinct to

protect & provide for her young;
She sees danger? She brazenly
rises up
on strong hind legs,
growls

Don't Touch My Cubs
& the species survives

& mama bear
doesn't look 2 anyone else
2 hand her anything;

biologists say
she works harder
than males,
is provider/protector for the future

also, ethics complaint
rejected,
el oso
