This beach extends from one mile on Lake Superior where waves roll in to polish beach cobbles. Courageously standing near a hole in the cliff !

Bears are the size of a mouse when born : they are born blind and covered with fine hair, while their mother hibernates, and have to cling to her for food. Indeed, bears hibernate 5 to 7 months in winter (from November to March). Mother bears teach cubs to eat, climb trees and dig. Cubs stay with their mother for about 17 months : they leave her during the second summer and look for a new territory. They eat meat, vegetation and fruits. Bears are excellent swimmers and can run up to 30 miles per hour. They can live 25 to 30 years. Bears can be cinnamon, brown, white or black.
