Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 02, 2021

Hahahaha!

Well,I heard about one tourist in Africa who jumped out of the jeep to rearrange the lion cubs for a better picture. …

Notice the red ballcap. Don’t sure I’d want to eat a plague rat

A sucker is born every minute. And it’s surprising how long some of them last.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime photo.

“Send more tourists: the last ones were delicious.” Meme about Binky the Alaskan polar bear.

That’s not fair! Not all of us bears are killing machines, you know! ;P

Boy, are they bullish about the food…!?!

Trump’s an idiot, but there is a lot of that around, in both parties. The proof of that is demonstrated by the fools who don’t want to let the feelings die down. It’s not wise to keep poking a bear with a stick if that stick is all you’ve got.

First one over wins the Darwin Award.

That is unbearable.

Careful, they’re probably unvaccinated. You don’t know what you’ll catch from them.

Hold my beer…

…and then he/she will sue the Zoo for negligence!

A winner of the Darwin Awards just waiting to claim his/her prize …

“Why didn’t you do anything to prevent this?!”

“We installed sturdy metal railings and moats inside the animal pens so they cannot climb out, posted signs all over the zoo cautioning about interaction with the animals, made frequent announcements over the PA system about not climbing into the animal pens, broadcasted zoo safety in loops on the monitors installed throughout the zoo, and posted rules for zoo safety on our website and our downloadable app. How did you miss all of this?”

One problem is that the winners of Darwin Awards too oft’ start breeding early.

The sad thing is that then they kill the bear. Who is completely without fault.

Well, Red Hats DO make great Dental Floss…

There are no bad bears. Only slow tourists.

Caged Bear philosophy: all things come to he who waits. Wild Bear: hunting poor in the wild, there are always campgrounds.

The less intelligent salmon swim through thousands of miles of open ocean to struggle hundreds of miles up raging white water rivers to be eaten by a bear. Homo Sapiens (“Thinking Man”) only has to hop over a small fence. “Intelligent Design” theorists, take note. /s

He’ll “make his bones” before sunset!

One of my most vivid memories of Yellowstone National Park as a 7-year old was being stuck in traffic with the bears in the tree line a little way from the road and people getting out of their cars, with cameras and kids, and walking toward them. I didn’t see anyone get hurt, but I remember thinking just how stupid that was. Years later, when my kids were 7 and 10, we were in the Black Hills watching people get out of their cars, with cameras and kids, and walking over to a herd of American bison and my son commenting that that was “soooo stupid!” Park rangers intervened—stopping one man who was trying to put his kid on the back of a bison A few years ago, in South Africa, we were traveling south and passed many, many signs that warned to stay in the car, keep windows and doors closed because of baboons. There were some traveling along the other side of the road so traffic stopped and one driver pulled over, got out, leaving his door open, and approached a mother and baby, camera already up to his eyes. What he missed taking a picture of was the other baboons who got into his car — one through the door and one through an open window in the back. They grabbed stuff and threw it out — bags of snacks, a purse or satchel, hats — and hopped back out. They were out and down the road in less than a minute and the driver and a passenger went chasing them (probably after the purse). My granddaughter’s comment was, “Now, who is the baboon?”

This bears repeating…….nyuk-nyuk-nyuk……

Do bears need Covid vaccine? Some zoos are having to give their animals shots. They should wear masks and avoid humans until this is determined.

I’m guessing the bear allowed itself to be captured.

Latest spin from the Biden Whitehouse: The Taliban is our friend and ally. (You cannot make this stuff up.)

Notice that none of the “food” is wearing masks… Darwin indeed!

Many (many many many) years ago, we were driving through Yellowstone when we saw a ranger parked by the side of the road lecturing a woman. She had smeared honey on her kid’s face so she could get a picture of a bear licking it off and the ranger, luckily, had driven by right after she was leading the child into the. trees.

Pandas.How can you NOT want to pet a panda?

On the other hand,years ago in Australia some guy wanted to know what it would be like to pet a polar bear.He never found out.

I blame those wide-angle lenses in the phone cameras. They aren’t really good for anything but massive landscapes and distorted self-portraits.

Must be bear day on GoComics.

Sort of like the antivaxxers and the pandemic.

Please don’t feed the animals, your high cholesterol is bad for them.

On a field trip with one of my kids to the Baltimore (now Maryland) Zoo, we were told that their bears were living twice as long as their counterparts in the wild. (Unless of course they escaped into the city!) And also that JHU was studying them for dementia.

I’d think it would more likely be that an idiot wanting a selfie with a wild animal would do something like this. Those people cross all political, social, economic, ethnic and everything else lines just like anti-vaxxers.

Then the zoo kills the bear because it’s dangerous. Not a good idea, Wiley Bear. Not a good idea.

Clever bear

Too funny, Wiley, – great job!!!!

A sign at a bear enclosure in Alaska details the bears’ natural diet and concludes with “Please do not sit on rail.”

It happens.

I once saw an idiot tourist try to sit his 2 year old daughter on the back of a 10 foot Alligator so he could get a Photo.

A very Angry alligator because it had just been woken up at 2:00 AM by a space shuttle being launched.

Luckily for the Kid, a bunch of the people in the crowd who heard him say what he was planning to do beat him vigorously about the head & shoulders until he figured out that he wasn’t getting that “Perfect Photo”.

Uh-oh, Wiley bears (Ursa Wiley Sardonicus) are in the local Zoo.

…And then the bear gets put down because an idiot ignored the signs and got himself in trouble.

Mother Nature cleaning the gene pool.

Saw this on Entitled Parents on Reddit. Tiger in zoo was snacking away on a bird that made the mistake of flying into his enclosure. Kid noticed bird entrails hanging out of tiger’s mouth and asked Mom why tiger was eating worms. Entitled Mom realizes it’s birdie innards and demands keeper do something about it. “Can’t you just take it away from him?” Yep, Entitled Mama expected a zookeeper to enter a tiger enclosure and literally take food out of a tigers mouth. Keeper declines since he doesn’t have a death wish.

Darwin reigns supreme…

Ha ha ha! The Wiley Bears are staying at a luxury resort on their terms! And I’m sure they can leave any time they want!!!

A MAGA antivaxxer, no doubt!
