Greenhouse Bear Attack!
Greenhouse Bear Attack!
I posted in the free-for-all that a black bear was seen at the farm that is a good distance south of it's typical range here in MN. I just noticed yesterday that this bear apparently visited my greenhouse.
Not sure how long ago this happened, but based on the muddy prints, I think since the last rainfall we had - or it would have washed off.
No real damage done - just a few little holes. There were four paw marks altogether, the mud makes the toes clearly visible on some. Here is with my dirty hand to show size.

Good thing you didnt have anything in there that smells good to a bear, probably wouldnt be a pretty sight.

That paw print is awesome. Be careful out there!

YIKES! That's a bigger problem than I'd be comfortable dealing with!
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

At least it didn't cause too much damage....
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.

Like Tony says, nothing good to eat inside so I think it lost interest pretty fast. I am sure if there was food in there, the side would have been torn off.
Notice there are two prints in the first picture.

Sound like you'll have to bring a shotgun if you want to do some late night cactus watching Daiv!

Wow! That's an interesting find! I'm glad it didn't decide it wanted to explore the inside!

of a very large rat, I dunno how I missed this topic but.. haha And I complain about pigs.. I pig might charge ya, but they rarely do any damage (unless they knock you onto a rock wall and you break ribs(this didnt happen to me but I am careful around the pigs, esp the female ones with babies)...
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.
