Bear Trap Success ~ Goodbye Dennis the Menis

Posted in Photo of the Day


We've been watching the bear trap like hawks. We didn't want to miss Dennis the Menis coming back :) It took a couple of hours but he finally showed up! You would think that he would go straight after the food since he's been searching for it in full force but he was quite cautious.


He circled the cage quite a few times, even ran away from it once and then decided that he needed to get a much closer look at it *grin* climbing right up on it licking at some of the syrup that the conservation officer had poured on it :) You can see that he was quite tall!


That's it! Go on in :) Nope, he decided that he just wasn't falling for it and went right out again! I actually thought that he was going to eat all of the bate and then take off again, but he went in once more to check out the bucket of sardines that was hanging on the trip latch and that did it. As he pulled at it to see what was inside the latch let go and the door slammed behind him. He didn't even fight it, instead he sniffed around and fiddled with the door for a bit and then resigned to laying down and waiting :) See he really wasn't that bad after all, or is he?



I got a couple of little videos of Dennis the Menis in the trap for the kids and for the most part he is really sedate but watch and see just how quick he can turn!! Turn up your volume to high so that you can hear him! The claws on his paws were close to 2 inches long so I'll leave it to your imagination just what power and destruction he holds in them, he could snap his jaws together really loudly to!


Goodbye Dennis the Menis :) We'll miss you.... sort of. *grin*

Blessings,

Wow! Now I am convinced you live in the best place to homeschool on this planet! This is not your average trapping. How interesting. Where did they take Dennis? I hope far, far away without a trail leading back!

Bon Voyage Monsieur Menis.

Ok Rosina, what excitement will you have for us next week? You know you've set the bar really high now, we'll all be expecting sharks to swim up to hubby's boat and bump him around, or Orca's at the beach or something.

I agree....I would love to live where you do! So much nature. I am glad the bear was caught, and you all got to watch it.
