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

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

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.

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".

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.

Bear breaks into California zoo to visit its brothers on lockdown

There have been plenty of children’s stories about animals breaking out of zoos. But at one zoo in Northern California, a young black bear broke in.

That’s what happened last week at Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, Calif., when a zoo employee found a wild black bear standing with its nose pressed against the fencing of an enclosure, prompting a response by police and state authorities. It also left officials at California’s oldest zoo with a mystery about why a bear came in from the wild, introduced itself to the zoo’s bears and played with their toys, before being shown the exit.

“Overall, he was a very polite visitor,” Christine Noel, a zoo supervisor, said in a statement. “He stayed on the boardwalk path, kept two feet on the ground and didn’t try to climb over the railings!”

Ms. Noel was inspecting the zoo’s Redwood Sky Walk, an elevated path about 100-feet high that meanders among the state’s famous redwood trees on Friday morning when she spotted an unknown American black bear “interacting” with Tule, Ishŭng and Kunabulilh, the zoo’s own black bears, through their enclosure’s fencing.

...

The bear did not come into contact with any human visitors.

The intruder, about 1.5 years old and possibly a female, was going “nose-to-nose” with the other bears, one at a time, through the fencing of their habitats, in “polite introductions,” Jim Campbell-Spickler, the zoo’s director, said in an interview on Tuesday.

It batted around their toys, he said. Then, with the help of a California Department of Fish and Wildlife warden, the bear was eventually coaxed through a service gate and back into the wilds of Sequoia Park.

Lol I grew up going to that zoo.. haven't been in years, decades actually

I encountered a young black bear last month while out hiking in a more remote part of the state. It was raining. I came around a bend in the trail and it was walking toward me about 50 feet away with its nose near the ground snuffling up the rainy earth smells.

I was a bit surprised and said (verbatim) "Oh! Hello." It looked up, saw me, and in a split second it had plunged off the trail, down the hill and run away. So, this is more of 'I say hi to bear' story.

lots of good bear stories lately, including the fact that no one is around in yellowstone to break up 'bear jams', traffic jams caused by bears wandering into traffic and looking in car windows

We had two guys here killed in separate incidents by bears.

One guy was up on a tractor!

Other guy was camping by himself. Had sent photos of the bear to his family back in Missouri.

Family taking their state's nickname way too literally.

First recorded deaths by bear in the state since 1892!

I got nothing but respect for bears.

"Ha, check out this little guy."

"OMG, he's so cute!

"Look at him wigging out!"

"Sooo, have you found my son yet?"

I mean, probably worth at least taking a prolonged investigation into the area to make sure that the cuddly wuddly fella didn't have a human body cached in the immediate vicinity.

That's how I'd explain it to my supervisor, if asked, anyway.

Bears in Los Angeles Are Getting Their Close-Ups, Ready or Not
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/us/california-black-bears.html

They are California’s black bears, and there are, experts estimate, roughly 60,000 of them. Of the world’s eight bear species, including polar bears and giant pandas, the American black bear population is the only one that’s growing. In fact, there are more American black bears — omnivorous as raccoons and skittish around people — than bears of all other species combined.

In other words, the region’s bear population is thriving. It’s humans who have been left wrestling with how to adapt.
