RE: One photo (or more) every day: Tree Tops in a Snowfall (258/365)
You really have a great view from your window.
Is it possible to find hungry wolfs there? Or bears (Russia is near).
You sit with a cup of coffee and there is a freaking bear!
No wolfs or bears, but we've seen a fox a few times. :) Oh but yes, there was a bear sighted (and killed) last year in Hollola.
Poor little bear... maybe he was just having a great time walking in the woods, thinking his bear thoughts.
And suddenly was ambushed by evil people :0(
"On Tuesday police shot and killed a bear in Hollola, just west of Lahti, after deciding it was acting in such an erratic manner that it posed a danger."
You never know how wild animals act when they see a human. It's better to play it safe
You're right, we should play it safe. And stop encroaching upon natural habitats, killing innocent creatures because we find them inconvenient.
@dromzz lives in a remote rural area. Wolves frequently kill pets and livestock in the country and pose a danger to small children. What to do with the great predators in the wild is a perennial tug of war between nature conservationists in the cities and rural people.
I'm a farm boy, grew up with all kinds of critters trying to eat our livestock, or us if we interfered. Coyotes, wolves, coywolves, bob cats, mountain lion once, etc. I'm also an avid hiker and have run into some big examples of why humanity wasn't always on top of the food chain.
Human expansion is driving countless species to the brink of extinction.
Hmm, what I would do If I've been living in the remote rural area. I'd probably teach my kids about safety first.
And probably buy a gun or a crossbow. Or a lightsaber.
Wolfs would think twice before coming to my house.
It should be noted that wolves or bears have not killed people in Finland for a long time. They're not killing several people every year or not even every decade. They keep away from humans but that's because humans are dangerous to them and they know it.
I totally agree with you. I think the most dangerous live being is human.
That is unfortunately true. Whole ecosystems are collapsing.
Bears are sometimes sighted in or near cities but infrequently. When that happens it is always on at least regional media. The last time there was a bear seen in Lahti it was in the northeastern suburbs in the summer of 2016. Bears and other wild animals have learned to avoid humans as it drastically increases their chances of getting killed.
