I saw a playful young polar bear at the zoo the other day. He was doing tricks - so cute. Also, the chillest sun bear ever.

waving bear is something else

You have no idea how many time I watched that when I first saw it. I love his delicate little wave. He looks either really effeminate or super proper and named Rupert or something. Perhaps he is both. In any event is is basically the best bear.

clicked the bear in heaven thread looking for the op image here, was sorely disappointed

The falling bear has died: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-talk-falling-bear-killed-0505-20120504,0,1583053.story

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

bear say bye to me

I'm disproportionately sad about this dumb bear dying.

ditto embarrassingly

fuck the pain away (on top of the body of the dead bear)

SO SAD

Really, quite a dumb bear, though.

I like to think he was maybe just a v unlucky bear.

first mca now bear wtf at this day already

Too soon?

yes it also looks like an aristocratically dismissive wave too. like ok fck off, next car please...

it is quite a wave, such a mocking bear

whatever otm it's just so amazing

That bear actually made The Today Show and I saw a segment about him. It wasn't a one off thing, he lives on a farm or something somewhere and learned to wave from all the people who would wave at him. People go there now specifically to get a wave from him.

Bear didn't learn to wave from this texting dude

good reflexes on that guy; i woulda stood and tried to figure out what was up

Situation 2 - Bear has detected your presence, but is more than 100 m (350 ft) distant.

Your goal here is to act in such a way as to allow the bear to identify you, but to also let it know that you are no threat. Speak calmly so that it knows you are a human (their eyesight is quite poor). They will often quickly give ground to you once they identify you as human. If the situation permits, back away slowly, keeping a close eye on the bear. Otherwise, you may wish to detour around the bear, but in this case, detour upwind so that the bear can get your scent. Keep talking calmly. Waving your arms may help it identify you as a human.

^^ that advice is otm, for black bears especially (the only common bears in lower 48)

Waving your arms may help it identify you as a human

Come back soon, ya hear!

LAKE MARY, Fla. (WFLA) — A three-legged bear known locally as Tripod was caught on camera breaking into a home in Lake Mary, Florida over the weekend and helping itself to some snacks and adult beverages.

Faneite-Diglio told the news station that Tripod had some fish food that was left next to their fish tank and then proceeded to the bar.

“He took three White Claws, drank, and left very happy. His favorite flavor is mango and strawberry,” Faneite-Diglio told WESH.

silly bear, white claw is only for hipster bears (polar bears)

I assume Tripod was looking for this shit:

BEAR EAT THE LASAGNE

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-67140523

Silly bear. Lasagne is for people!

I recently saw a picture of a bear with tapeworms. Many many tapeworms. They were at least six feet long and trailing behind her protruding right from her butt. It was horrible.

Sorry. If I saw it - you all have to at least read about it. Google at your own risk.

Why does that surburban kitchen need a camera in it?

(Well I guess they had a b&e so it makes sense to try and protect their frozen foods.)

the bear seems to know right where to look, and how to open a freezer

well i know what i'll be dreaming about tonight!!

Tourist Mauled After Rolling Down Window For Bear Selfie

A Scottish tourist is thankful to be alive after a close encounter with a wild bear sent her to the emergency room.

Moira Gallacher, 72, had been vacationing in Romania with her friend Charmian Widdowson when the women decided to go for a drive through the Carpathian Mountains.

During the outing, the women came across a couple of brown bears and did their best to get a photo of the wildlife.

“What happened was the bear came up to the window at my friend’s side, and no problem. It let us take a picture and went away,” Gallacher said in a video shared by Scottish outlet STV News on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday, April 23. “But I didn’t get a proper picture, so we went back and it was at my side.”

...

“We saw these bears – a mummy bear, and a baby – they were gorgeous,” Widdowson said.
“But they weren’t gorgeous. The mummy bear was hungry, and thought my friend was going to be lunch,” she added.

Recounting the moments before the mauling, Widdowson said she parked her car to be able to get a better photo.

“I thought he wanted to be friends,” she said. “The bear came and wanted to get into the car, but he started getting into the car and bit my friend.”

“I thought he wanted to be friends,” she said.

she needs to watch Grizzly Man to see how those 'friendships' work out

There are way too many videos on Instagram of people petting and or play-wrestling with bears, with zero context. I feel like a lot of dumb motherfuckers are gonna start getting eaten before long.

"We're bears — Of course we're going to bite your friend."

Does she somehow know this "mummy" bear's pronoun is "he?"

LOL @ the People link upthread about the tourist bear mauling. Stock photo of bears. Stock photo of hospital gurney.

let's think....brown, American black, Andean (aka spectacled), polar, sloth, sun, Asian black, giant panda

Are giant pandas actually bears? or massive rodents

DNA sequencing finally proved that, yes, giant pandas are bears. They were originally thought to be bears, then placed in the raccoon family (Procyonidae), then in a family of their own together with the red panda and are now considered bears again.
No zoologist ever considered they were rodents iirc although rhino-sized capybara-like rodents did exist in prehistory.

Ahh, okay... I thought raccoons were rodents but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore: 'Distantly related to cats and dogs, they share a common evolutionary ancestor with bears.'

These incidences of bears breaking into cars and wreaking havoc seem to be becoming more and more common:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/12/ontario-black-bear-car

xxp it gets confusing because old phenotypic classifications (and reclassifications) were often made on guesswork based on physiology and locale, whereas you can now slap some panda dna in a sequencer and figure out that their genotype says "bear"

This all went down about a mile away from me today

lmao at the lady explaining the frozen chicken theft

bear say drive to me

I’m a bit taken aback that apparently she plans to eat that chicken?

that was the part that killed me. maybe the bear only punctured the packaging or 1-2 pieces of meat and she’s like “still good!”

I'm sure she'll cook it first, it not like she's gonna get "bear germs" and turn into a crazed werebear.

no need to waste bear-stolen goods

Kudos to the narrator for knowing exactly what that bear is saying.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/17/virginia-man-dies-bear-fall

Similar incidents have occurred in recent years.

In 2018, a man in Alaska was critically injured after his hunting partner shot a bear on a ridge. The animal tumbled down a slope into the man, who was also struck by rocks dislodged by the bear.

Another man was injured in 2019 after his hunting partner shot a bear in a tree in North Carolina. The bear fell out of the tree and began biting the hunter. The man and the animal then tumbled off a cliff. The hunter was taken to a hospital, while the bear was later found dead.

Your chances of being killed by a falling bear are low but never zero.

payback's a bitch

Bears raid honey store after enclosure escape
Two bears who sparked the evacuation of a wildlife park involving trained firearms staff and police had headed straight for the honey store, the park has said.

Wildwood Devon, a conservation charity near Exeter, said European brown bears Mish and Lucy made their way to the food store after breaking free - and then consumed a "week's worth of honey".

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgrxn4x7yx2o

This is local to us. We have seen those bears many times. I hope there aren’t bad repercussions.

Also a few minutes walk from the place dear old Swampy got famous for trying to stop the bypass.
