Bear tagging in Algonquin Park

http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=vJRDpTUIrJI&vq=medium

from CBC TV, the Rick Mercer Report.  Rick goes bear tagging in Algonquin Park in northern Ontario, taking part in a government bear-survey when the bears are in their dens and are either hibernating or the mother bears are nursing their cubs.  Very nice video, funny as only Rick Mercer can make it and really sort of awe-inspiring.

Here is a link to a facebook page I very much like.  It's of very, hugely amazing places around the globe that we can at least see, if not visit.
