Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Adoption is not social welfare. It is what happens because we *reject* social welfare—because we do *not* help those who need it most. Adoption is a *business*: the business of making affluent people into the parents of less fortunate people’s children.
