[at-l] Another Bear Story



A Russian scientist and a Czechoslovakian scientist had spent their lives
studying the grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective
governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study the bears. Finally
their request was granted, and they immediately flew to Yellowstone.
They reported to the ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly
mating season and it was too dangerous to go out and study the animals. They
pleaded that this was their only chance, and finally the ranger relented.
The Russian and the Czech were given portable phones and told to report in
every day.

For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two
scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the camp completely
ravaged, with no sign of the missing men. Following the trails of a male and
a female bear, they finally caught up with the female. Fearing an
international incident, they decided they must kill the animal to find out
if she had eaten the scientist.  They
killed the female and opened the stomach to find the remains of the Russian.

One ranger turned to the other and said,"You know what this means, don't
you?"

The other ranger responded......


(Are you ready for this?)


...."I guess it means the Czech's in the male."
