Sea bears on Bering coast and mating rites detailed
The article describes sea bears arriving on the coast from October to April with males first and females appearing by mid May. It notes their size eight to nine feet, weight eight to nine hundred pounds, and their polygamous, harsh but playful behavior. It cites Behring voyage companion Steller on the mother’s tears and the male’s cruelty, then describes fights, social rings, and eventual solitary old age. It also includes a Niagara River voyage anecdote about the Maid steamer, a plan to sell for ten thousand dollars, mortgage details, and the engineer’s reluctant descent through the Whirlpool followed by repairs at Port Dalhousie.
