Around 144 people had to be rescued from the water at Hampton Beach over a span of six days — that’s almost as many rescues as lifeguards made over the entire summer last year. With Hurricane Erin churning up the ocean, the dangerous surf conditions will continue this week.

We received a pretty unusual trail camera picture featuring two mature black bears together, a “sow” followed by a very large “boar,” and had to share!

You can really see how the boar, or male bear, has a heavier build around the head and shoulders. The way his ears and nose look tiny set against that big head are also good clues. The female bear, or sow, looks a little less hefty around the head and shoulders. A few more helpful field marks are how her nose and ears look bigger relative to the whole head than the boar's do.

Black bears mate from May through July in Vermont, and a boar and sow will travel together during that window. Other than mating season, most times you see bears together will be a sow and her young… so this scene is a neat, relatively rare capture!

📷 Thanks to an Addison County resident for sharing!
