139e3 a peek down below
This approx 150 pound bear climbed up an 80+ foot tree, and climbed out to very thin branches we were SURE couldn't hold his weight.
We watched for 30 minutes, fascinated, as he methodically broke off tiny branches and pulled them toward him to eat (nuts? berries? tiny tender young leaves? couldn't tell from where we were)
All the while, the branches he stood on waved and swayed, yet his footing was sure, and he had no problems at all staying where he wanted to be.
