What type of bear is best?

Wrong...BLACK BEAR.

It seems the black bears in this rescue up north (the best bears, according to Jim from the Office posing as Dwight) are doing just fine notwithstanding the raging wildfires in the UP (that's "Upper Peninsula" for you non-Michigan types).

Good for them. Apparently the guy who runs the rescue was told to evacuate, but he wouldn't leave his bears. How cute.
