bear say hi to me

seriously

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.

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

The teens said the bear took its time and didn't seem too threatening, but that they weren't going to test that perception.

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.
