Saw the coolest bear tonight

[drahthaar]

Decided to go for a short drive from the house in the pouring rain and see if we could spot any game.
Of course the SLR cam batteries were dead when I spotted this bear. Never seen that color before, Butterscotch, is the only way to describe it,(its just a blonde, but the water made it look different) head to tail, big bear too. Only pics are from wife's Iphone, not good, but you can get an idea of the color against the spring foliage. Got the boy excited anyway.

He just decided to climb a tree for a minute, had no idea we were there.

Cool looking bear and I know all too well the frustration of a great photographic moment presenting itself and the equipment (or in my case usually the operator) not getting the shot.

Nope, possum or babcat
Could be an anteater or honey badger. Looks to be a P&Y wistle pig from here
