The stuffed bear was fascinating - yet a bit sad to see. Trophy bears are often used as decor accents in Alaska.

You can even find bears in tourist hotel breakfast rooms http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/141953977 It's an Alaskan thing... For some reason, the stuffed bears also all look alike.

I prefer to see bears alive and well in Nature http://www.pbase.com/britestar/wild_grizzly_bears
