Good answer BobbyO They spend time on human forums debating the possibility that humans may or may not exist.

Of course not.

Wow, now that's a piggy roaster! Hey Madison......I have never been a track casting guy, too much stuff to carry around, and always hiking with the pups & wolfy, so gotta keep moving. Plus I don't want any possible observers watching me do this, as they might start being a lot more careful about their tracks. There are 2 individuals in particular that I find most often over the years, I'm guessing a daddyfoot & kidofoot, and have literally watched the latter grow up over the years as his/her foot keeps growing.......here's the very first print print I found of the now teenfoot from 2003, and it appeared that Mom or Dad had put him/her down by the edge of a creek to get a drink, and was just under 4 inches..

Over the past 15 years the Alaska Deot of Fish and Game, with the assistance of the Air Force and Army who own all of the land immediately north of the city of Anchorage and well up into the Chugach Mountains to the east, have been studying the bears that inhabit the city, bases, and surrounding area. After fitting a few dozen bears, including a thousand pound monster, one of their biggest surprises was that the bears descend into the congested parts of the city, even the downtown area, and essentially live in the greenbelts when the salmon arrive. And they do so, for the most part, without even being seen by the people. How do they do it? They fish the creeks at night, then go into the bushes and sleep all day long while people walk, ride bikes, skate, and travel the bike trails a few yards away. Then when the salmon runs subside, the bears head back up into the mountains to feast on the berries before winter. There are an estimated 300+ black bears and 60+ brown/grizzly bears within the municipality borders at any one time. The original Urban Bear study began in 2005. There have been at least three more since. Here's a link to one of the more recent studies of 9 bears. http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm%3Fadfg%3Dlivingwithbears.anchorageurbanbearsstorymap

I work for the USGS, I work down the hall from the liasion for USGS/States, he can get you current maps/lidar/topography for any state......through one of his other Liasion partners for other states. I can assist in matters like that.
