We continued with a visit to the Fortress of the Bear. This is a shelter for orphans, actually for orphan bears. Bears that have been here are unfortunately not allowed or able to return to the wild. The people who work here take great care of the bears and even teach them some tricks. Nevertheless, it’s a nice place to see black bears and brown bears up close. Speaking of brown bears, do you know the difference between a brown bear and a grizzly bear? The brown bear and the grizzly bear differ only in their geographical location. In Alaska, the brown bear lives near the coast, while the grizzly lives inland. However, because of this, they also have some differences in size and behaviour. Nevertheless, you wouldn’t want to meet either of them in the wild. Personally, I find black bears quite cute, but I think if a black bear comes running towards me, I won’t find it so cute either haha.
