I feel very lucky and honoured to have seen a kermode bear/spirit bear in the 90s when I was travelling up the Central Coast of BC. Black bears are very common but there are only 50 to a few hundred of these bears. They are only found on a few of the Islands and mainland coastline. They are sacred in Indigenous teachings.

'Wild Swimming' Does Something Amazing to Your Mind, Study Reveals

Perhaps the main takeaway though is in how wild swimming delivers its mental wellbeing benefits – essentially through enhanced feelings of freedom. Perhaps, in a world of growing external pressures, this is the reason wild swimming is becoming so popular.

I agree...As a kid, I grew up swimming in lakes and rivers. I don't like swimming pools at all. There's no connection there.

“It really shows that we have a unique place in #Michigan where someone has a chance to see a #wolf, a #moose & a #cougar in the #wild. It’s something that should be celebrated, that we have the #habitat to support an elusive animal like this,”Roell said.

The cubs were spotted & photographed without their mother. #CougarCubs are highly dependent on their mothers, often staying with them for the first two years of life.

For the first time in >100 years, #cougar cubs have been discovered living in the #Michigan #wild.

State biologists on Wednesday confirmed the existence of 2 #CougarCubs on private land in Ontonagon County in the western #UP. The spotted cubs, believed to be 7–9 weeks old, were verified from photographic evidence of the cubs taken March 6 by a local resident.
