Editor's Note: "MOD Voices" guest blogger Ryan Byrd presents reason #1 for having a beard. Pay attention for science learning along the way!
BEAR NECESSITY: Say you're strolling through the forest. You're enjoying the majesty of nature, basking in the peaceful tranquility of the great outdoors.
Suddenly, you feel the warm breath of a towering grizzly bear on the back of your neck. Grizzly bears—also known as silvertip bears—are considered to be the most aggressive species of bears. They’re primarily found in the western part of North America and can weigh as much as 1,500 lbs and stand as tall as nearly 8 ft when on their hind legs.
Grizzly bears are omnivores, primarily eating berries and plants, but suddenly, to Mr. Bear, you look pretty tasty. What do you do?
First, you're going to want to pause to thank your beard. Why? Because you turn sharply, swinging around your flowing man-mane. As the bear spots it, he pauses and with a whimper of defeat, slugs away, realizing that he could never defeat what he can only reasonably determine must be a Sasquatch. Beard: 1 – Bear: 0.
Stay tuned for Reason #2 tomorrow!
