A Few Sidelights On Bears "To dream a bear thy self pursues, A cruel foe some mischief brews." --Old Rime. In "Extinct Pennsylvania Animals." Parts I. and II. by the writer of these lines are recorded the unhappy stories of the extermination of a dozen of the larger forms of mammals which once inhabited the Keystone State. They were unnecessarily wiped out of existence* to satisfy man's misguided zeal and rapacity, and for political reasons, to keep the mountaineer vote in line by the payment of '"bounties." Through some miracle of good fortune, the Black Bear has been spared so that we of the present generation can enjoy the presence of this unique game animal in our forests. The deer are also with us, but it is a question as to whether they remain in their native form, or are merely introduced animals from the West and South, and their descendants. The Black Bear was never '"introduced" by Game Department Officials, in fact, was never given a fair chance until a few years ago, when he was on the verge of extermination, trapping and other unfair means of destroying him were forbidden by law. But his enemies will never rest, they want a longer season, they want the privilege of taking him in pens, in addition to the privileges gained in the law which was jammed through the Legislature of 1919. If a protective measure for any animal or bird could go through one quarter as fast, we would have all the game needed in Pennsylvania. The 1919 law was passed in order to nullify improved dog-law in Potter County, and save the scalps of a legion of worthless underfed canines. At that time, and at other times, unlicensed-dogs were ravaging Potter County sheep folds, and it was either annihilate the sheep killing mongrels or blame the "slaughter of...
Download or read book Black Bear written by Stephen R. Swinburne and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three species of bear inhabit North America: the grizzly, the polar bear, and the black bear. But the American black bear is truly North America's bear, found only in North America. Black bears range from Canada to Mexico, from New England to California. There may be as many as 750,000 black bears roaming the forests and mountains of the continent. With its large population, and with more people moving into black bear territory, it's important that we understand this magnificent animal. Stephen R. Swinburne takes us to where black bears live. He joins biologists in search of bears in the Pennsylvania woods, where a mother bear is examined and her cubs tagged. He visits a "school teacher" for orphaned cubs who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Along the way, he offers his personal observations together with fascinating facts about black bears and their world. (Did you know that in the autumn, black bears consume as much as twenty thousand calories a day? That's equivalent to forty-two hamburgers!) With stunning full-color and archival photographs, this lively book shows how North America's bear behaves and survives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Black Bear of Pennsylvania (Ursus Americanus) "The Bear is capable of some degree of instruction, there are few but have seen it dance in awkward measure upon its hind feet, to the voice or instrument of its leader; and it must be confessed, that the dancer is is often found to be the best performer of the two. I am told that it is first taught to perform in this manner by setting it upon hot plates of iron and then playing to it while in this uneasy situation." - Oliver Goldsmith About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
