A listener writes “I wrote you a couple months back about a sighting my son and I had here in Burlington, CT back in 2005 that involved a creature running away on two legs after pushing a tree over behind us as we were walking down a trail. It was the first of a few encounters we had but the only full blown sighting.
Anyway I found this bear cub in the woods this morning where all the activity happened. Looks to me like it had one ifs back legs pulled clean off. No other sign of injuries beyond that but I’m neither a vet nor a forensics expert so I could be wrong.
I have read reports that state these creatures kill deer by ripping their hind legs off and that is what seeing this little bear here dead this morning reminded me of. Could be nothing but figured Id pass it along all the same.”
