Black Bear climbing sequoia and ripping bark Sequoia Nat Park CA June 15 2021
This bear climbed a sequoia and proceeded to rip and tear at the bark for awhile. His (or her) bracing technique with the hind legs is evident! Maybe going after a birds nest? Maybe insects? No food was clearly seen. This image is grainy and imperfect but the behavior seemed interesting and worth recording and posting.
