BC tabloid The Province has caught on to the fact that Polish newspaper Gazeta Olsztynska used an image including 4chan meme Pedobear in a story on the Winter Olympics.

The modified image's author, Michael Barrick, says it was also used by a Spanish sports blog.

Pedobear made an appearance at Anthrocon last year, handing out free candy.

According to BBC News, a perplexing sight awaits visitors to the polar bear enclosure at Singapore zoo. Two of the bears have started to turn green.

Author Charlie Russell has written several books about bears, including his most recent, called "Grizzly Heart," about his experiences living with brown bears in the Kamchatka Peninsula. His approach to bears is markedly different from the norm; he believes treating bears with respect and friendship is better than the atmosphere of fear and wariness usually put forward. Check out the pictures. (unfortunately, the gallery doesn't include one in the newspaper article I saw this in - the author sitting on a riverside, next to a comfortable-looking reclining wild female grizzly.)

Circus Polar Bears "feature" for 130 year old subtropical carnival. For once I agree with PETA.
