More to Agee in due time....

Motherhood at its Best : Björk...Or how to get your babe from a tree....?

Heute im Aussenposten ist Muttertag, hier immer 2 Wochen später als woanders am letzten Sonntag im Mai...-

Today, two weeks later than nearly everywhere else, Mother's Day has been celebrated in the Outpost...
Aus diesem Grund ein anderes Video, das in den letzten 4 Wochen Furore gemacht hat. Björk aus dem Bärenpark Bern und seit Mitte Dezember Mutter zweier entzückender Bärenjungen, Urs und Berna, ist schon jetzt in die Geschichte eingegangen als Mutter, die nicht lange fackelt, wenn es darum geht, dem zu hoch hinaus wollenden Nachwuchs Erdverbundenheit beizubringen... Doch erstmal ein paar Fotos von ihr und den Kleinen, die seit dem 27.Februar die Höhle verlassen haben.-
On that occasion here a video which has recently been another hit on the Internet. Björk from Bärenpark Bern in Switzerland, and mother of two adorable bear cubs since mid December, Urs and Berna, has already made history as one inventive and straight-forward mother when educational intervention was needed confronted with a little one who had obviously a premature liking for height...But first some pics of Björk and her young after they left the den by 27 February, as I hadn't poted them before.

Einfach süß, die Beiden!Und nun das Video...-
Aren't they sweet?! But now the video...Enjoy!

Meet Kumo, the Kung Fu Bear...

Eigentlich wollte ich noch etwas warten mit diesem Video, aber wenn ich es mir so recht überlege, ist es vielleicht doch gerade der passende Moment nach dem Hope-Posting. Bären hören nie auf, mich zu überraschen, und etwas davon geht ein in die Hoffnung, dass Hope doch noch gefunden wird...Aber nun zu ihm.Kumo, was im Deutschen soviel bedeutet wie Wolke, er wohnt im japanischen Hiroshima Asa Zoo und ist bereits dort seit Jahren eine wirkliche Berühmtheit...-

Bears never cease to amaze me - ever heard of a Kung Fu bear?!? Originally I wanted to wait with this posting but thinking it over, maybe today is just the right day for it after the Hope posting. I still hope that with Hope we will also be in for a surprise, she is said to be sassy and vigourous, maybe that will help her. Anyway, here comes another bear celebrity...Meet Kumo doing tricks with sticks...

"A bear in a Japanese zoo has become an online sensation with his 'kung fu" skills.

Kumo, an Asian black bear, has been thrilling crowds at Hiroshima Asa Zoo for more than four years by twirling a stick like an expert martial artist.

But the animal's talents have now been discovered by English-speaking internet users - with a video of the bear set to 1970s pop song "Kung Fu Fighting" suddenly shooting up the viral charts after first being posted last year.

Kumo — the name means "Cloud" in English — even throws the stick into the air before catching it and continuing with the dexterous display.

The videos have been viewed on YouTube over 500,000 times.

Hiroshima Asa Zoo senior curator Haruo Otsu told ninemsn Kumo's skills were self-taught.

"It's very important to provide animals with a good environment so we give Kumo a lot of twigs, tree leaves and logs to play with," Mr Otsu said.

"He is very famous here and has been on the television and in some magazines."

Mr Otsu said Kumo seemed to appreciate the attention from visitors who came to watch his twirling skills.

A look through online archives proves Cloud's trick is no fluke, with video posted in 2008 showing the animal twirling a baseball bat in similar fashion.

The bat was reportedly a gift from the area's local baseball team, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp."

And now, just enjoy the video...!
