cave bear

Today, while hiking, I had to face probably the last specimen of Ursus spelaeus (Höhlenbär - cave bear). They're supposed to be extinct - but not so, as you can see.

I only wanted to take a photo but the bear obviously didn't like that; and I only managed to escape by a hair's breadth.

(Okay, I'll admit it. I killed him and took his fur which is drying on my balcony right now. But please tell no one as I fear that this was illegal.)

(Okay, okay - I admit: he did kill me. Satisfied?)
