这「熊孩子」脑筋也动太快了！最近在网络上有一段影片引起网友们的热烈讨论，影片是去年7月在美国阿拉斯加的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区（Katmai National Park and Preserve）所拍下，是两只小熊用截然不同的方式渡过阿拉斯加河的画面。
只见棕熊妈妈正带着两只小熊在河里捕鱼，而其中一只小熊趁妈妈在忙，趁机爬到妈妈的背上，画面中可以看到牠就坐在妈妈的背上渡河，看起来超级轻松，还不时回头看了一下在后方努力划水的兄弟姊妹，幸好两只小熊都顺利上岸，蹦蹦跳跳跟着妈妈离开。而这有趣又发人深省的一幕，让不少网友纷纷留言：「妈妈真的很辛苦呢」、「看完心情好复杂」、「总是有人喜欢偷懒」。

“A spring brown bear cub or COY, (Cub of the year). Meaning the cub was born that spring. Riding on its mother while crossing an Alaskan river, located within Katmai National Park and Preserve. They tend to do this when very young and small. Not all cubs and mothers behave this way. Mothers tend to allow this behavior for only a short time. As the cubs grow it slows her down from getting food and teaching them all the necessities in order to survive.”
而影片说明中也表示，这两只小熊大概是在去年春天出生的，年纪还非常小，而并不是所有熊妈妈都会忍受小孩有这样的行为，这种「靠妈妈」的情况只是暂时的，而且等牠们更大一点，就必须得学习成长独立，不管是渡河或是捕食，都得要自己来才行。

印尼苏拉威西岛帕卢市的一只野生巨鳄，被机车轮胎卡住脖子长达6年之久，保育人员一直试图捉捕并救援牠，但都以失败收场，直到近日在一名勇者的帮助下，终在7日成功捕捉，并将卡在他脖子上的轮胎锯断。

Indonesian authorities are offering a reward to anyone who can rescue a saltwater crocodile with a motorbike tire stuck around its neck.
The contest will see one brave crocodile hunter land an unspecified amount of cash but it will mean coming face to face with the 13-foot reptile.
Local conservation authorities have been trying — and failing — for several years to find a way to untangle the crocodile.
That sparked worries the tire was slowly killing the beast.
After a recent sighting, the province’s governor instructed his resource-strapped conservation agency to figure out how to end years of fruitless attempts.
The agency offered few details on the reward or how outsiders might pull off the task.
But its chief — who said the cash would come out of his own pocket — warned that he was not calling on amateurs to hunt down the reptile but rather addressing people with a background in wildlife rescue and a thirst for conservation.
Hasmuni Hasmar, the head of the Central Sulawesi Natural Resources Conservation Agency said: “We’re asking the general public not to get close to the crocodile or disturb its habitat,”
英国卫报报导，这只咸水鳄长约5.2公尺，2016年被帕卢市居民发现牠脖子上挂了一个机车轮胎后，保育人员一直试图捕捉牠并帮牠去除「轮胎项圈」，当地政府甚至一度祭出重赏，寻求勇者出面。
34岁的卖鸟人蒂利（Tili）在追踪这只鳄鱼3周后，7日下午成功用活鸡陷阱抓捕，在村民协助下把牠拖上岸，并用刀具割断轮胎。

蒂利表示，「我只是想帮忙。我讨厌看到动物受困和受苦。我已经筋疲力尽。鳄鱼重得令人难以置信，每个人都在流汗，非常累。」待救援结束后，这只鳄鱼也被立刻放回水中。
他说，前两次营救任务都以失败作收，因为绳索的强度不足以承受鳄鱼的重量，之后才改以用于拖船的尼龙绳索。
13-foot crocodile in Indonesia freed from tire after 6 years
The crocodile had a motorcycle tire stuck around its neck

A crocodile in Indonesia that has had a motorcycle tire stuck around its neck for years has finally been freed.
The 13.12-foot (4-meter) crocodile was found around the island of Sulawesi, and had the tire around its neck for about six years, according to Reuters.
Despite local residents’ concern for the crocodile’s well-being, capturing the creature was a challenge.
Even a local resident named Tili, who ended up removing the tire from the crocodile’s neck, had two failed attempts before he was able to capture the reptile, Reuters reported.
The 35-year-old Sulawesi resident told the outlet that he used a basic trap made with a rope tied to a log. His bait was live chickens and ducks.
“I caught the crocodile by myself,” Tili told Reuters. “I was asking for help from people here but they were scared.”
Tili said that many people were “skeptical” about his desire and ability to capture the crocodile, according to Reuters.
The outlet reported that Tili tracked the crocodile for three weeks before he finally caught it and sawed the tire off its neck.
The crocodile was returned to the wild on Monday, according to Reuters.
Local authorities offered a reward in 2020 for anyone who could remove the tire from the crocodile’s neck – though Tili told Reuters that wasn’t what motivated his pursuit of the croc.
“I just can’t stand to see animals hurt. Even snakes, I will help,” Tili told Reuters.

今天真的太过瘾了，看到无数老鹰在河面捕鱼。几次寒潮之后，北方的河面结冰，终于让这些eagle南下来我这里了，这次当然再次试了试1.4X
先来一组用了1.4X的
虽然有点软，但是感觉这画质真的可以打啊，这组1/1600，F9，ISO1000~1600，等效焦1250mm，对焦慢一点，但是基本够用
再来一组拿掉增倍镜的，这组是一只幼鹰向adult叫板，居然要鹰口夺食，一番争斗之后，成年鹰带着鱼成功摆脱
果然拿掉增倍镜，画面锐了不少。
最后再来一组，也是没有增倍镜的
只乱入的海鸥
我打算留着这个增倍镜了，需要的时候装上去还是有点用。

北卡罗莱纳州一只母熊自2017年起，就常到当地一名男子康利（Patrick Conley）后院拜访。康利将母熊命名为西蒙（Simone），称西蒙是只喜欢与人交互、友善的熊。日前西蒙的到访跟以往很不同，因为牠那次带了2个熊宝宝来跟康利「拜码头」。
May 2, 2021
First visit this year by your favorite girl, Simone! AND YES, SHE BROUGHT HER FIRST EVER LITTER OF CUBS!!!!
The collar is gone – nice! – and she looks well-fed. The cubs are the cutest things to ever have walked these woods, but then I’m kind of biased.
Being that it’s her first litter I tried my best not to spook her or the little ones. She seemed pretty comfortable with the proximity so I’m guessing we’ll be seeing her again soon.
For those of you with questions regarding Asheville’s rather unique bear situation the following article from November 2019 in The Wall Street Journal will provide many answers.
康利看到西蒙带着宝宝来到他的前阳台，在那里等康利，在前阳台稍事停留后就转身走回树林。
康利表示，这是西蒙的第一胎，他尽量不要吓到她或小熊。而西蒙看起来很怡然自得，康利认为「应该很快就会再见到牠们」。
网友对母子熊可爱身复印象深刻，纷纷表示：「熊妈妈看起来很骄傲，你可以看到牠不断确认孩子状况无恙。宝宝真漂亮！」、「熊很聪明表现很好，还带着宝宝来找你，表示很信任你」、「牠好像在跟宝宝说：『你们看，这是一个人。当你走过他时，他会发出搞笑的声音，但他和我们一样害怕。如果我们遵守人与熊的约定，他可能会给我们一些好康。」
游阿拉斯加遇到大棕熊 做对「这些事」全身而退

一群游客在阿拉斯加遇到一只大棕熊，他们当下保持冷静，没有尖叫或做出大动作，棕熊最后绕了一圈静静地离开。
44岁佛罗里达州房地产经纪人西西莉雅诺（Cara Siciliano）当时和另2对夫妇、1名水上飞机机长一起参观卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区（Katmai Park）。拍下影片的西西莉雅诺表示：「同行的机长说他在这条小路上走了1000次，但从没有见过这样的事情！」
西西莉雅诺提到：「我很惊讶我似乎没想像中害怕，我第一反应是仰望天空，确保上帝与我同在并祈祷，接着用手机拍下这段影片。」
这段30秒的影片拍到一只最大可重达700多公斤、275公分高的阿拉斯加棕熊，以及站在碎石路旁如雕像般不动声色的游客们。游客们都没有表现惊慌失措的神情，只有机长以平缓的声音对熊说：「嘿大男孩」、「嘿熊」，最后棕熊离开现场。
西西莉雅诺很惊讶机长跟熊的话语让他们全身而退，尤其是这只棕熊与他们相遇前，才刚跟另一只熊打完架因此发出沉重的喘息声。熊专家赞扬这群游客遵循了国家公园管理局的建议，没有尖叫或奔跑，缓慢移动，并用单调的声音说话，让牠知道人们在那里不会带来伤害。
Bear Pulls California Woman Out of Her Tent, Kills Her in Montana
Lokan was killed on the bear’s second visit to the site where she and two fellow bicyclists were camping near the post office, officials said.

A grizzly bear pulled a woman from her tent in a small Montana town in the middle of the night and killed her before fellow campers could use bear spray to force the bruin out of the area, wildlife officials said Wednesday.
Leah Davis Lokan, 65, of Chico, California, was on a long-distance bicycling trip and had stopped in the western Montana town of Ovando when she was killed early Tuesday, said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials as they provided more details about the attack.
Lokan was killed on the bear’s second visit to the site where she and two fellow bicyclists were camping near the post office, officials said.
The approximately 400-pound grizzly first awakened the campers about 3 a.m., officials said. They took food out of their tents, secured it and went back to sleep, they said.
Surveillance video from a business in town showed the bear about a block from the post office about 15 minutes later, wildlife officials said.
About 4:15 a.m., the sheriff’s office received a 911 call after two people in a tent near the victim’s were awakened by sounds of the attack, Powell County Sheriff Gavin Roselles said. They discharged their bear spray, and the bear ran away.
The bear is also believed to have entered a chicken coop in town that night, killing and eating several chickens.
Officials searched by helicopter for the grizzly again Wednesday but couldn’t find it.
“At this point, our best chance for catching this bear will be culvert traps set in the area near the chicken coop where the bear killed and ate several chickens,” said Randy Arnold, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks regional supervisor in Missoula.
The bear will be killed if it is found, said Greg Lemon, a spokesperson for Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Investigators have obtained DNA from the bear at the scene of the attack and will be able to compare it with any bruin they are able to trap, the agency said.
Lokan, a registered nurse who had worked at a hospital in Chico, had looked forward to the Montana bike trip for months, said Mary Flowers, a friend of the victim’s from Chico. Lokan had taken previous long-distance bike trips and on this one was accompanied by her sister and a friend, Flowers said.
“She loved these kind of adventures. A woman in her 60s, and she’s dong this kind of stuff — she had a passion for life that was out of the ordinary,” Flowers said.
Grizzly bears have run into increasing conflict with humans in the Northern Rockies over the past decade as the federally protected animals expanded into new areas and the number of people living and recreating in the region grew. That has spurred calls from elected officials in Montana and neighboring Wyoming and Idaho to lift protections so the animals could be hunted.
Ovando, about 60 miles northwest of Helena, is a community of fewer than 100 people at the edge of the sprawling Bob Marshall wilderness.
North of Ovando lies an expanse of forests and mountains, including Glacier National Park that stretches to Canada and is home to an estimated 1,000 grizzlies. It’s the largest concentration of the bruins in the contiguous U.S.
Fatal attacks are rare in the region. There have been three in the last 20 years, including Tuesday’s mauling, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
In 2001, a hunter was killed by a grizzly with two cubs while he was gutting an elk at a wildlife management area west of Ovando. The three animals were shot and killed by wildlife officials days later.
Over the past 20 years, there have been eight fatal maulings of people by grizzlies from a separate population of about 700 bears in and around Yellowstone National Park. In April, a backcountry guide was killed by a grizzly bear while fishing along the park’s border in southwestern Montana.
Bears that attack people are not always killed if the mauling resulted from a surprise encounter or the bear was defending its young. But the bear involved in Lokan’s death is considered a public safety threat because of the circumstances of the attack, Lemon said.
