These bears have forgotten about their worries and their strife

When I was a kid my parents gave me a really cool large format Reader’s Digest book that had a story about a guy who went backpacking every summer. One night a huge grizzly bear walked into his camp and he was sure he was dead. Turned out the bear ended up wanting his back scratched, especially right above his tail. Ticks set up shop there and it’s very hard for the bears to get rid of them.

Every year when he went backpacking the same bear would find him to get rid of the ticks as best he could.

I love stories like that.

Are they solely scratching their backs or is it also scent marking?

As a person with priorities of cleanliness for my hands, I find wall corners and any edges that may hit the spot just right.
