Brown bears are scent-sational! 👃 With noses 75 times more powerful than ours, they can detect scents from miles away. Their olfactory bulb, a small organ that helps identify odors, is five times larger than a human's, giving them an incredible sense of smell.

This is Fatman. He has an outfit for every occasion. Sometimes that outfit is a cozy blanket. But he still pulls it off. 12/10
A chocolate and tan bully boy sits in the backseat of a car and smiles contentedly. He’s wearing a tan and gray rain jacket with an orange zipper and it has its hood pulled up. The tan almost perfectly matches his eyebrow dots.

Fatman basks in a sunbeam as he rides shotgun again. This time he’s decked out in a green and black checked pajama set, which has sleeves on all four legs and an open belly for ventilation.

Our bully buddy is tucked in for a snooze, his eyes closed and the tip of his tongue sticking out a bit. His face is snuggled into a coral colored blanket. He is not to be disturbed.

Want to help birds keep cool through the summer? Provide a shallow birdbath with one to two inches of water. Birds will use baths as a cooling oasis to splash in and drink. Keep an eye on water levels and clean out your birdbath regularly. 📷 Courtney Celley/USFWS
