Don't Mess With Mama Bear

If you go down to the woods today, you're in for a big surprise. No, the teddy bears aren't having a picnic; they're just hanging out at the side of the road, watching the traffic go past. This one might be after tourists'picker-nick baskets, like the most famous ursine of all, Yogi Bear. But this isn't Jellystone National Park; this photo was taken on the Transfăgărășan Road in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains - and you know who used to live there!

If we've got our bearings right, that means this bear lives a stone's throw from Poenari Castle. The spooky, ruined castle was the home of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula!
