He moves forward, then backs up before going in for his meal. Coola, the bigger bear, is much more certain about his actions. From the Grouse Mountain website: www.grousemountain.com/wildlife-refugeGrinder Grinder was found in 2001 in Invermere, BC. He was wandering alone on a logging road, dehydrated, thin, weak and weighing only 4.5 kg. His mother was never found so we'll probably never know why he was alone. Grinder is outgoing and high-spirited. And he has established himself as the dominant bear despite his smaller size. If you see Grinder and Coola play fighting, you can bet he started it. Coola In 2001, Coola was found orphaned on a highway near Bella Coola, BC. His mother had been killed by a truck and, of her three cubs, Coola was the only one to survive. Coola is an easygoing bear who's content to let Grinder take the lead in new discoveries. He can usually be found submerged up to his neck in the large pond, carefully feeling around for his underwater 'bath toys' - a log, large bone and favourite rock. www.grousemountain.com/wildlife-refuge/ranger-blog

 Mishoomis was Bear With Us first permanent captive bear. Arriving April, 1992, he died September, 1994. He was a very big black bear, very gentle and totally blind. He had been rescued from a substandard zoo. There were no records of his exact age. It took some time but, Mike and Mishoomis formed a very close bond. Mike noticed prior to Mishoomis death that he suffered from a suspected heart condition. He would have periods of panting and instability especially during hot weather. One day while working outside Mike heard a very loud moan and raced to him, his beloved Mishoomis was gone. When Mike talks about Mishoomis I still hear the quiver in his voice. Mike dug a grave by hand for his gentle friend, he rests in peace knowing how deeply he was loved and has never been forgotten.
