Brown Bear – Up On Two

Up On Two

The species Brown Bear does not relish surprises, especially when suddenly encountering one of its own kind in close proximity. While wandering through tall, thick, grassy riparian habitats, they will periodically practice the art of standing upright on their hind quarters to peer over the vegetation, just in case another bear is nearby. 

I am a bear, so do beware. 
Wander me, through the grassy sea. 
Tall reeds are, why I won't see far. 
But what if there, be another bear? 
So up on two, I peruse the view.

I am a bear, that is aware.
