Latest Buzz: Man Invents Wearable Hummingbird Feeder
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsBird-watching may seem like a boring outdoor activity, but with the help of a man in Northern California, the age-old hobby may once again take flight. Doyle Doss, a wildlife photographer from Eureka, Calif., has the birdwatching world abuzz thanks to an odd invention he created in his cow barn for his small company, Doss Products. After spotting a bunch of hummingbirds hovering near the silver dollar eucalyptus tree in his yard, Doss decided to create a gadget that would capture the constant visits from his flying friends in a new, extremely personal way.

Contrary to Popular Belief, Sarah Palin Isn't Mama Grizzly's Best Friend
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Nov. 22) -- Dogged Sarah Palin critic Andrew Sullivan recently unpacked the ex-Alaska governor's record on bears and found it doesn't mesh with the warmth she professes for them on her TLC reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska." "As she coos over them on TLC and anthropomorphizes them for the Tea Party, she tends not to remind people that as governor, she backed a bill called the 'Active Management -- Airborne Shooting' that allowed for aerial shooting of the bears for the first time in Alaska's history," writes Sullivan on his blog for The Atlantic. The bill, which died in the state Senate, ...
Grizzly Cubs Linked to Deadly Mauling Were Malnourished
By not in system - AOL NewsBILLINGS, Mont. (Aug. 1) -- Three grizzly bear cubs whose mother killed one person and mauled two others in a late-night attack at a Montana campground were malnourished and still in their winter coats. The cubs have arrived at their new home at ZooMontana in Billings. Zoo executive director Jackie Worstell said Sunday the two female cubs and one male cub were underweight, possibly explaining their mother's unusually aggressive behavior. "It may be an indication of what happened," Worstell said. "There's obvious signs of stress and malnourishment. Maybe (the sow) was desperate." The ...
Bear in Fatal Attack Is Killed; Cubs May Go to Zoo
By Mara Gay - AOL News(July 30) -- A mama grizzly bear was euthanized today after tests determined she was responsible for a fatal attack at a Montana campsite, but her cubs may be sent to live in a zoo, an official said today. A third cub was caught in a culvert trap early this morning, and likely participated in the deadly mauling of 48-year-old Kevin Kammer from Grand Rapids, Mich., according to The Associated Press. The capture came a day after its 400-pound mother and her two other cubs were picked up by park officials. Wednesday night, the mother tore through the Soda Butte Campgrounds near Yellowstone ...
Sarah Palin vs. Actual Mama Grizzlies vs. Grizzly Bear, the Band
By Carl Franzen - AOL NewsI am woman bear, hear me roar! Sounding a call of the wild that's fit to rattle feminists and poll watchers alike, Sarah Palin has released a video ad called "Mama Grizzlies" that offers a heady mix of animal metaphors, female empowerment themes and anti-government rhetoric on behalf of her political action committee, SarahPAC. Many are already interpreting the short film as a kind of preview of a Palin 2012 presidential candidacy. And this is hardly the first time Palin has made mention of her love of grizzly bears (or of skinning and mounting them on her wall). Still, we here at ...
Twice-Mauled Grizzly Photographer Still Loves His Subject
By Lisa Flam - AOL News(June 8) -- Jim Cole knew he had to get up and get moving. After unknowingly stepping on a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park in May 2007, Cole was knocked down and mauled by the mother bear. Bloodied and severely injured, though he didn't know how badly at the time, Cole had to flee to survive. "I just knew I had to get right up off the turf," the photographer, who has studied grizzlies for many years, recalled in an interview on NBC's "Today" show this morning. "I knew that if I sat there for one minute, I'd be dead." The attack happened in the park's Hayden Valley ...
