Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

Big Momma

Black Bears normally have one or two cubs per season..........This "BIG MOMMA" adding to the population nicely----hopefully she can provide for all of them and protect them as well......not an easy job with this brood!


Black bears (Ursus americanus) typically give birth to two cubs; on rare occasions, one or three. So when photographer Tom Sears heard of a black bear sow in New Hampshire with five cubs, he lingered by their favorite trail in the hopes of photographing them together. "After spending nearly four hours a day, seven, days a week, for six weeks:' says Sears, "I had that once in a lifetime opportunity."
