In the Pacific Northwest, where wild forests meet the ocean, Bertie Gregory captured a moment of surprising animal intelligence. A male black bear was observed flipping large boulders along the coastline to access a steady food source. By using its sense of smell to locate prey beneath the stones, the bear can easily find tasty crabs hiding under the rocks.
