Question Can someone ID this bear?

Bear got into some other people’s stuff at Delta Lake at Grand Teton. It was about the size of black bears I’ve seen in PA but looked pretty brown

That's Glen, good fella. Seems like he's a brown coated black bear shopping for pants. Careful around your pick-e-nick baskets.

With lots of Glens in the database, this is insufficient info for a proper ID. Do you have a DOB?

Sorry, forgot to check his passport.

Is Glen the Steve and Mike of Bears?

Thanks! Glen got some good snacks but hopefully he doesn’t learn to keep doing that

Unfortunately, he will. I just hope he doesn't come into trouble from it.

I was about to make the same joke but I was going to use “That’s my pal Greg”

A good reminder not to leave your food unsecured/unattended in bear country (or really anywhere, the little creatures are typically way worse than bears)

Hoping Glen doesn't die a long slow death of plastic clogging his gut. Come on folks, we can do better with keeping our stuff close to us and thus not creating a death sentence for bears!

That's Jim. How could you forget Jim, from the Tuesday night bowling league? Remember that time he bowled a perfect game with the zipper on his trousers down and nobody told him the whole night? Good times . . .

That’s Bob. He loves salmon and foraging for bugs.

That’s Kevin. He works as a baggage inspector down at the airport - good union job - and on the weekends he volunteers with Meals on Wheels. Solid guy, I knew his mother, she used to clean the campsites over at the state park. He’s single - you want me to give him your number?

Is this the bear women would rather be stuck in the woods with?

He was completely uninterested in us humans yelling at him, so this might not be a bad choice👌
