This tiny waterhole in the Sonoran Desert is generally really popular with birds and small mammals. Recently, though, a bear has decided it’s a great place to rest and relax. He spent about an hour there, just hanging out. The spines in his muzzle are from prickly pear cactus and, based on the nearby bear scat, he was eating the cactus fruits.

That is so sweet! I hope that someday the bear finds a bigger watering hole. And oh those cactus spines – where are the opposable thumbs when you need them!

Yeah, it’s rough seeing those cactus spines. I guess the prickly pear fruit reward is worth it. It’s been such a dismal monsoon. Not much water left out there in some of these spots.
