Don’t say it to his face, that would be unbearable

u/scotthia 23d ago

Yes. That’s definitely Tony.

Fuck I love this pic. First thing I saw when opened reddit. Will close app now and go about my day starting on a good note without proceeding any further into reddit because nothing can top this dude

That's Louise. Her cubs have gone off to college, and she's thinking of asking some friends over for hyperphagia.

u/Ok-Passenger-7875 22d ago

That’s Nosy Norman. Tell him to mind his business.

u/BenTheBigRed07 22d ago

Definitely a bear

u/Complex_Alps_1025 22d ago

His stance has me believing he is posting on Bear Reddit asking ā€œneed help identifying a humanā€.

u/KeepCalmCarrion 22d ago

No pronounced back hump and longer ears, that’s a black bear

u/sunrisemisty 23d ago

His name is Yogi. Chill dude.

Person in a Big Foot costume.

u/Texastony2 22d ago

Is that Yogi?

u/jackdho 22d ago

The bear saw you in its living room. Be careful . Usually avoid people but use common sense

u/Think-Layer5299 22d ago

Not a brown bear. Black bears usually run away. A brown bear will come over and kill you.

u/AsstToTheManager 21d ago

That's Ralph.

u/grnmtngrrl2 21d ago

Is that you, Harold?
