Hi mr wood it is Conner Mahan from your first period class. Happy belated birthday! I was wondering, have you have you seen any Brown bears yet ? I'm also wondering what happens if you dogs see a bear? It looks really cold keep warm and be safe! Cobe Mahan PS Science is pretty boring with out you!

Good questions. I have not seen any bears yet. The dogs will speed up a lot of the time if they sense an animal close by. We had some rabbits near us the other day and the dogs just got excited and went faster. I'm not sure what they would do with a bear in their path!Cheers,

That wouldn't be fair to the bear! We have some with us at the site. The tundra is so open that animals can see us from a pretty good distance. We usually don't get any larger critters wondering in to the study site. I stop and take a look around every now and then.Cheers,
