Bear cuteness at Clark's Trading post NH.

The Clark's bears do exactly what they want to do.

"I've seen eastern European bears walking tightropes on their front paws but we can't get them to do that sort of thing or anything they don't want because they still have their teeth and their claws and they know how to use them," Maureen explains. "There isn't much sense trying to force them to do anything."
