Oh no! Hunters are chasing me. I'm a grizzly bear named Razzpberry (Razzy for short) since I love raspberries so much. Though I'm not thinking about how much I love them right now because hunters are chasing me and who want my precious fur in the woods of Canada.

I weigh 1,652 pounds. You might think that is a lot, but for a grizzly bear it is quite normal because of my appetite and all the foods I eat. I am also the world's largest carnivore. I look weird when I walk, but I have hard legs and knive sharp claws to protect me. I am an excellent climber and sometimes I run fast when I am in danger like about now. I have thick shaggy fur, small ears, and sharp hearing. I am a powerful animal with a very large body, and I try to avoid situations that cause fighting.

The hunters are keep on shooting, but luckily I am used to hunters shooting at me so I kept on dodging and ducking All that made me slow down. The hunters are right on my tracks, I am so frightened and I don't know what to do. Besides, I can barely run because I just had a great big meal of 2 squirrels, some insects and a lot of raspberries. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! A spider's web, it was on the tree and I was really scared at the moment. I didn't tell you before but I'm scared of spider webs. I had no chance I had to climb the tree. I am so happy right now since people can't climb trees. One of my other fears are humans, well not exactly all humans, but certainly hunters.

Anyhow, I'm up here in the tree being frightened to death. I'm trying to be calm, I had to get down sometime. I could not stay up here all my life, I had to get down when the hunters were gone or busy in something they could not see me in. Okay, I have to try not to be a scaredy bear; I would just have to try and be fierceful but I can't; I'm too afraid.

All right, I'm ready now that the hunters are resting a while. I have a chance in getting away from them, I will go down quietly. Okay now, here goes nothing! Take it easy. I'm almost there. Oh no! I stepped on one of the hunter's face. He woke up all the other hunters and the chase was on again. All I had to do was find another tree. No, I can't anymore, my claws hurt. What should I do? Where should I go? I couldn't figure it out until I saw it. A HONEYBEE HIVE! I did not care then how much I loved honey. The hunters were pretty far away by then, so I just took the hive and ran toward them. It would take much longer to wait for them to arrive. As I went I saw the hunters, and guess what? The hunters must have thought I was crazy or something because the hunters were looking confused and starting to aim their guns at me. Just then I remembered that I had the nest with me and I threw the hive on them. Sooner or later all the bees started to squirm all around them and the hunters started to run away because the bees were all after them.

Yeah, I am saved from being killed by these nothing knowing hunters.
