The question came up, "Why do bears sleep all winter?"
I mean bears can be ornery suckers. But why do they get to sleep all winter. Yeah, it's cold outside and food is scarce but we don let our Kids stay in bed all winter. Our wives won't let Husbands sleep most any day of our lives so why do bears get to stay in the sack all winter?
Thank goodness for the internet. I did some searches and found out. After years of study on the phenome, scientist and animal experts agree as to the root cause of the behavior.
After thousands of years of human cohabitation with bears, it seems no one on the planet is brave enough to wake one up.
