I wonder what that song would be? ANYTHING other than “Bare Necessities,” obviously.

The Last Thing the Nature Photographer Sees, UPDATED!

The Last Photo He Ever Took, unsurprisingly

From Tumblr:

Michio Hoshino, a photographer known for his pictures of bears and other wildlife, was mauled to death by a brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia. He was in his mid-40’s and lived in Fairbanks, Alaska.

This is the last photo he took.

Which surprises no-one.

Update, ah, so it turns out this is an oldie. Still not sure I buy that guy on Reddit who says the body is from a cariboo, but I’m certainly no photoshop expert.

Beaver Shots: Wild Road Beaver

Posted on by

Beaver is, of course, the national animal of Canada, and for good reason: who doesn’t like a friendly beaver? Why, there’s nothing so welcoming to travel-weary tourists as the sight of a naked beaver straddling the dotted line in the middle of the highway, greeting the newcomers with what passes for wild abandon here in Canuckistan.

You’ve heard, perhaps, of the Canadian who asked the US border guard to say “Please?” He got pepper sprayed.

And a few years ago there was a lineup at an ATM in Montreal. A Canadian got to the front of the line, got his money from the machine, said “Thank you,” to the machine…

And the American in line behind him beat him up.
