The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Great, great video of a 'dancing' grizzly

As part of their Northern Divide Bear Project, scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey are using motion-triggered video cameras to record the behavior of bears (and other wildlife).

There are some good videos on the studies Web site. This is one of them, and it's even better than the original after someone fixed it up a bit by adding music. If this doesn't crack you up, there's something wrong with you.

I don't know how to imbed video into the blog. Sorry. But click on bear_dance above and it should open in your .wmv viewer.
