 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.

these skulls of female (CN4543; live body mass 203 kg) and male (CN4532; 496 kg) of the Kodiak brown bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), showing not only the marked size-dimorphism characteristic of all extant ursids but also distinctive morphological differences, such as the taller, more robust overall skull proportions of the male; the much larger mastoid process; more robust upper canine; larger sagittal crest; and the shorter facial region.   |

"On the left is the rather robust skull of a Giant Panda. The zygomatic arch where the masseter (cheek) muscles go through is both very wide and thick. The muscles would attach to the sagittal crest toward the back of the skull giving the jaw a great deal of leverage. The canines of the panda look rather intimidating and almost as large as its carnivorous neighbor, the tiger. This tiger has similar features as the panda although the panda is the outlier having carnivorous features. These canines might be for display and fighting with other pandas, much like with the male gorillas of the African jungles. The difference though, is that the tiger's snout is more prognathic (pointy) which allows for larger, gaping jaws to wrap around its prey. Those large holes below the eye socket are called the infraorbital foramen which, I believe allow for blood and nerves to travel to the canine. When they are active in animals, such as the tiger, they need to be larger. " www.flickr.com/photos/baggis/3457423046/in/photostream/www.flickr.com/photos/baggis/3457423046/in/photostream/lightbox/ |
