On a twoweek trip in the Rocky Mountains, I saw a grizzly bear in its native habitat
At first, I felt joy as I watched the bear walk across the land
He stopped every once in a while to turn his head about, sniffing deeply
He was following the scent of something, and slowly I began to realize that this giant animal was smelling me! I froze
This was no longer a wonderful experience; it was now an issue of survival
The bear’s motivation was to find meat to eat, and I was clearly on his menu
