I am happy that I had a chance of seeing Humming Bears. But I think we should help to the French bear controversy. Thanks Andrew Willy

Merna, you are absolutely right that ‘we might need to help a bit’ re. the French bear controversy. If man has contributed to this crisis, surely it follows that man should do his utmost to readdress the natural balance and provide a solution. Although importing female bears cannot be seen as a ‘natural’ act in isolation, it seems to offer the best solution to a problem that will only deteriorate if it is allowed to continue. Through the implementation of this single measure, the dwindling population could be brought back to healthy levels relatively quickly- I can’t really see any reason not to pursue the policy.

I just read the article “Colossal ‘sea monster’ unearthed ” and found it quite fascinating. This thing really was the king of the sea at one time. I hope they are able to recover more of this amazing creature in the future.

“French Brown Bears: France’s brown bear population is teetering on the verge of extinction, and a new study suggests one reason: there aren’t enough females to mate with the male bears. Should France import female bears to help the males — and the species?”

I think nature has its own ways to make an species extinct. However if the lack of males bears is a HUGE difference made by man it self, we might need to help a bit.

I love the bears article and find the BBC stories beautifully portrayed. I’ve always believed that Bears aren’t aggressive – although wouldn’t of wanted to test that theory – so delighted to read that they even “hum”.
