Cryptozoology Update

There have been two more black bear sightings since my first cryptozoology post. In early July of 06 a concerned citizen stopped at my parents house on Rang St. Charles to inform them that he'd just seen a bear cross the road and meander onto their property; upon investigation there was a neat pile of bear scat discovered and photo-documented. Then, during the first week of August, Annie and I were taking the scenic route home from St. Chrys and saw a spring cub cross Mt. Poupart. I guess Ian is somewhat justified for being constantly heavily armed while performing such tasks as checking his mail, feeding his chickens, cutting the grass, or watching TV, considering the last bear was sighted just 2km from his house.

The red star marks the location of Monkey Meadows. The bear icons are accurate locations of the bear sightings: Mt. Giroux, Rang St. Charles and Mt. Poupart. I speculate that the bears sighted on Poupart and Giroux are from the same family, however, the one on St. Charles might be from a different clan judging by the geogrpahical distance from the others. I blame Climate Change for these bear sightings as well as the 40 degree temperatures, potatoe bugs in my garden, the rain, and the price of gas.
