At a meeting in the forest people and the bear usually scatter in different directions, and then long come to life. I was lucky enough months to live and work in the most bearish places in Russia, and perhaps the world - in the Valley of the Geysers and the Kuril Lake in Kamchatka. Both these places are under the protection of Kronotsky Reserve Inspector of whom I work. If my colleagues and I are always running from bears, there's nothing else to do we would not have time (although sometimes it is necessary run). Bears also do not all run by men. Several generations grew up here bear under the protection of the protected mode, and some animals do not have panic fear of man. I live in the forest, such bears are the nearest neighbors and visible, sometimes even look in the windows or doors. If live long in one place, automatically start to learn them in person and to give names. When six years ago I came to the Valley of Geysers, there were still living bears, names are given naturalist Vitaly Nikolaenko, author of "Brown bear". In this book he described the life stories of several of the legendary Bears: Crop-eared, Dobrynya, Temnolapki. Died Vitaly Nikolaenko, there already and most of them described the bears. I found in the Valley Temnolapku and in the future try to talk about it personally. Many bears the Kurile Lake, do not avoid people, and repeatedly shot by photographers and filmmakers, too, were named own. Sumo - a large male that the fall was gaining so much fat that it was difficult to walk on land. He preferred to swim along shores of the lake. Diver - also known swimmer and diver - was able to raise snuluyu fish from a depth of several meters. Eternal old man - every year down from the mountains in an extremely emaciated and sickly as every summer predicted his death, but he is alive to this day. Wino (he is depicted on the top picture) - good sloth-philosopher, always lying on the beach, got so ugly name, which in 2008 took away from the Austrian tourist flyazhechku with schnapps and sucked it.
Today I will show photos familiar to me in the face bears. Plenty of them, so I will give just one snapshot for each individual. In the storerooms of the same much more. ( More ... )
