Were an incredibly destructive species. We truly are the scum of the earth. [/quote] this is one-sided. millions work every day to prevent things like this to happen. why do you leave this out of your judgement ? [/quote] This is not one sided. The good work of the few has not been enough to repair the damage that the rest of us have created within the earth. Were killing this planet day by day. Which pretty much means that we are of no positive use to the universe. If you had any respect for life in the universe you would agree that it would be better off without humans. [/quote]
Original Message
These brown bears are keen to play with discarded barrels - because they have developed a nose for aviation fuel.
The creatures sniff kerosene and gasoline from containers left in the Kronotsky Nature Reserve in the far east of Russia.
They take deep breaths for minutes at a time before digging a shallow hole and lying in a 'nirvana' position.
The fuel is used to power generators and helicopters used by nature reserve workers.
Photographer Igor Shpilenok, 52, spent seven months with the community of bears.
He said some of the addicted predators even stalked helicopters, waiting for take off and drops of fuel to leak onto the hard soil for them to hoover up.
He added: 'In another case a helicopter brought a few barrels of gasoline.
