We Know What Bears Do in Woods But What Do They Do on the Golf Course?
Sunday, 28 April 2019
Play Golf? Well perhaps not quite as we know it! This young bear and other members of his family were spotted on the Mountainside Golf Course at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in Canada.
Andi Dzilums was out on the course that morning and managed to capture the moment that the bear cub took the inevitable decision to grab hold of and run around (and around!) with the pin. This amusing spectacle of bear-faced cheek (couldn’t resist it) carried on until the cub spotted something just as interesting – a golf ball.
You might think that Andi was a little foolhardy - to say the least - to put himself so close to these wild animals. They are North American black bears, not grizzlies and so tend to be timid around humans and only attack if they really, really have to. However, if you don't know the difference- keep your distance!
