hey Bunjy what do you mean the bear's getting euthanised? T__T
black bears are naturally very shy, but they are large predators that can and do attack humans occasionally with fatal results. states with black bears are in a constant battle to keep those bears from LOSING that shyness and getting too habituated to humans.
a bear that's habituated to humans through eating garbage or being fed by idiots who think that bears are just big cute dogs will eventually lose all its fear of humans and begin to associate humans with food, at which point it may start to break into buildings with human occupants, and attack human pedestrians. obviously this is terrible and carries a HUGE danger to anyone in the vicinity of these habituated bears.
so generally a bear will get three strikes before it's considered to be so habituated to humans that it absolutely has to be euthanized for everyone's safety- the first two strikes see a bear sedated, tagged, and relocated to a wild area far away from humans.
however.
the bear in that video was already demonstrating the highest level of human habituation, "entering a building where a human is present without fear", so it probably won't be long before it DOES start attacking humans outright for food. again, this often proves fatal to the human involved, because it's a fucking bear.
so in this case, they may just skip right over the first two strikes since this behavior is so far along, for the safety of all humans in the area!
basically, every human who fed this bear and treated it like a big cute harmless adorable toy is now responsible for its death. please just leave the goddam wildlife alone.
I made this after finding a bee that I thought was dead, but was actually still alive, barely.
I don't usually name my specimens, but I asked my best friend if she wanted a bee named after her and she said "yes" (btw her name is pronounced "ah-nah-LEE-ah", not "an-NAH-lia").
Of all the animals I've found, this one made me the saddest.
Here are some pictures of the bee right after I found it and thought it was dead:
Already trying to figure out how to draw the NPCs— starting with a handful of the children I expect we’re going to be seeing again. I’m excited to see how much my designs for them change as we go along!
"It [a good result] helps. I’m under no illusion, the next two races are super important. Even if there wasn’t anything on the line, you want to go into the summer break with a spring in your step. Putting a little additional pressure on myself. It's crunch time."
