This bear is scurrying by the side of the Tundra Buggy - this picture is taken from the open platform at the back. The floor is made of open-mesh metal and sometimes the bears walk underneath, letting you watch them through the holes. They're not often dangerous, and the only recent incidents where they've attacked people have been when drunks have deliberately antagonised them. But they're pretty big, and although they look cuddly you wouldn't want to get too close.
