Ah, poor kid, that had to be traumatic for it, and the mother.
I have seen reports of that in the past, you can't blame the animal, but if they become a nuisance doing that they need relocated, or put down as a last resort.
I'm glad the mother was looking out for her kid.

Canada has polar bears, whitish kermode bears but I’ve never seen photos of a white grizzly. This beat will be a rock star around Banff. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/mobile/banff ... eyKlC5o4Ho

Not a surprise, a lot of animals occasionally have a white offspring.

A white grizzly I believe must be extremely rare as I have never heard of one before. I am not sure that it is albino either rather white as the odd black bear is. The kermode bears aren’t albino.

Alaska had several years back, and people where thinking they where polar bears, or mixed with them.

I believe that you are talking about the polar bear grizzly bear hybrids that are becoming more common due to the global warming bringing the two species in contact with each other more often. The glacier bears are in the south of Alaska near British Columbia and they are a unique subspecies of black bear.

I think we already have them! A nest was found late last year on Vancouver Island and was subsequently destroyed, so it seems like they are in fact here on both sides of the border in that geographical area...

There were 3 or 4 in Washington state and one here in white rock. There was one captured in north Vancouver and sent to the University of British Columbia. It was believed that it hitched a ride in a shipping container from China. Only the one nest was discovered on Vancouver Island.
On Dec. 8, a resident in Blaine Washington near the Canadian border reported an unusually large hornet they found on their property. Two days later, experts visited the site, collected the specimen, which was dead, and confirmed its identity a short time later.

The resident also reported seeing a live giant hornet at a hummingbird feeder before it retreated into a nearby forest.
Up to 50 Japanese gets killed each year by these hornets. Any sightings need to be reported. If I see one I will try and kill it. Or it might kill me.

Your next girlfriend. She's a keeper. This giant hornet seem a little different. I think they are in America but are not of Asian hornet. I remember seeing a giant hornet in one of shay Carl's vlog back 6 or 7 years ago when he lived in Idalo.

Yellow jackets are invasive nasty little buggers and outcompete our native wasps so I kill them whenever I can. I have an electric swatter racket that works marvellously for this task. It work wonders on horseflies too. When jogging in an area with a lot of horseflies the electricity must zap them at the instant of contact allowing the racket swing to do maximum damage and they sail away never to return. I will also put these giant hornets 🐝 on my kill list.

Shes retarded, and hornets are not my friend, one of ours had me sick for two weeks from a sting to the side of my head.
Got them back though, I sprayed them with gas, smashed them, and set fire to the rest.

If horseflies are around there is either large piles of crap, rat infestation, or something nasty that needs dwelt with.
I had a friend that bought a place that was overran by them, I traced the infestation to a rat haven in a shack, burnt it down, and no more horseflies.
One place I went they where really bad, it was the stables, I talked the man into cleaning it up for the horses, and to get rid of the flies, it worked.
It's filth they live in, and want.

I really hate that guy, such an idiot.
I think people with hives need to get some wire that will keep those hornets out while letting the bees through it.
