Oh, those were all over Florence when I was there. They are called Vellela. When in the ocean they actually have a little sail. That's what is sticking up.

Very cool! Thanks Tia! They have made the news today also. I've never heard of these and have spent 1000's of hours at sea.

Very interesting that they are not a singular creature but a colony. Confused

According to Lieutenant Casey Thomas, on Sunday May 24th, Trooper Heather VanMeter located an active bear bait site near Logsden, Or in Lincoln County. 

On May 26th, Fish and Wildlife Troopers from the Newport Office were back in the area. At approximately 2:30 PM, John HAMBLIN, age 50 from Dallas, Oregon, was contacted as he was entering the bait site on foot. HAMBLIN was in possession of a rifle, compound bow, and a gallon bag of grain and tallow. HAMBLIN was also in possession of a SW Oregon Spring Bear Tag. HAMBLIN was cooperative and was cited and released criminally for Unlawful Hunting Bear with the Aid of Bait and Spring Bear Hunting Outside Unit Boundary. A compound bow, trail camera, rifle and tree stand were seized as evidence. Also seized were a 55 gallon plastic barrel and a 5 gallon can full of bait material.

Yes, but they can't really attack you when they are holding on, But they can knock a tree over.

With their bear hands.... Laughing
