Unfortunately, we had a two year old and the WIFI didn’t work to keep him fully occupied!

It is infinitely more fun, to be honest. Especially for a first-person narrative. All of my first-person leads are flawed or even openly horrible people. Stefan Advani ( Cage Of Souls) is a self-interested coward, Gary Rendell ( Walking With Aldebaran) has serious physical and mental issues that slowly creep out over his narrative, and the unnamed narrator of One Day All This Will Be Yours is frankly a horrible, horrible person. So yes, Jimmy is a wretched, miserable and untrustworthy character thrust into a spotlight he really doesn’t want. But because of that, his perspective on the big picture is much more entertaining. Bear Head was originally named Bear With Me… The morality and reality of control and subjugation are themes that both the reader and even the fictional characters have to face. Did you find you challenged your own thoughts on this?

COMBINED - Plush Deer Wall Decor AND Regular size Cappuccino Grizzly Bear Rug- Woodland Nursery By ClaraLoo Creations The constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, the great and little bears, are named for their supposed resemblance to bears, from the time of Ptolemy. [b] [8] The nearby star Arcturus means "guardian of the bear", as if it were watching the two constellations. [146] Ursa Major has been associated with a bear for as much as 13,000 years since Paleolithic times, in the widespread Cosmic Hunt myths. These are found on both sides of the Bering land bridge, which was lost to the sea some 11,000 years ago.

The rest of it slowly came together over the next few months and then I basically shouldered aside every other project and just gave it priority and rattled it out. Bear Head is a sequel, did you already have this story planned or did you have to see where the story/characters took you after completing the first book? COSEWIC. Canadian Wildlife Service (2002). "Assessment and Update Status Report on the Grizzly Bear ( Ursus arctos)" (PDF). Environment Canada. Archived (PDF) from the original on 2022-10-09 . Retrieved 8 April 2007. The earliest members of Ursidae belong to the extinct subfamily Amphicynodontinae, including Parictis (late Eocene to early middle Miocene, 38–18 Mya) and the slightly younger Allocyon (early Oligocene, 34–30Mya), both from North America. These animals looked very different from today's bears, being small and raccoon-like in overall appearance, with diets perhaps more similar to that of a badger. Parictis does not appear in Eurasia and Africa until the Miocene. [15] It is unclear whether late-Eocene ursids were also present in Eurasia, although faunal exchange across the Bering land bridge may have been possible during a major sea level low stand as early as the late Eocene (about 37Mya) and continuing into the early Oligocene. [16] European genera morphologically very similar to Allocyon, and to the much younger American Kolponomos (about 18 Mya), [17] are known from the Oligocene, including Amphicticeps and Amphicynodon. [16] There has been various morphological evidence linking amphicynodontines with pinnipeds, as both groups were semi-aquatic, otter-like mammals. [18] [19] [20] In addition to the support of the pinniped–amphicynodontine clade, other morphological and some molecular evidence supports bears being the closest living relatives to pinnipeds.
