I'm in love with the silly little bears made by Daniel's Wood Land! There are a couple near me locally so I'll be sharing my experience visiting those, as well as bits of trivia from their other projects. Daniel's Wood Land is an up in coming name in animatronics imo and I'm always curious what new projects they're working on! They're in Califonia, so far it looks like they have more presence on the west coast.

• Daniel's Wood Land page
• he also has a rare fox friend!
• official showcase video
• animatronic appreciation on tumblr is also a great place to find fan submitted photos

Known barker bears:

• Seaside OR, boardwalk - gone :(
• Portland OR, Oaks Park
• Kettleman City CA, Bravo Land (info) (video)
• Seattle WA, Miner's Pier - maybe gone (photos)

A couple months ago I visited the Seaside OR location! Or... what used to be the Seaside location :( I remember he was a little worse for wear the last time I saw him. Since it's on the boardwalk, the salty air makes everything deteriorate faster. I asked around a little to make sure I was at the right place and be sure he's gone. Across the street is a little seafood diner with paper on the tables to draw on, so I spent most of the meal doing just that. My masterpiece!
