A bear sculpture on the University of Montana campus. As you can see from the pic at right, this bear has been carved out of a tree stump. Or maybe it was just set on a tree stump, but I'd like to think it was carved out of the tree itself. Whatever. The Grizzly is the mascot of the University of Montana so there are bears all over the place here. Specifically, I've seen at least three bear carvings like this that look like they were carved out of the trees on whose stumps they stand.
