is this cute? or is it the symptom of ecological disaster? discuss.

So... this is pretty remarkable. A bear sow, facing dangerous heat, takes her cubs right into a population of humans. This is a symptom of ecological disaster, and the good folks @ABC bed happy, goofy xylophone music over it. This is dystopian shit from a science fiction novel.


BEAT THE HEAT: The record-breaking weekend temperatures in the West drove this bear family to seek relief in the cool waters of Lake Tahoe.

I've never been up that way, but this is one of those areas where bear habitat overlaps with our own.
