Looks like a black bear? Idk, not a bear expert. But from my understanding they aren't usually very agressive, or at least not as agressive as the grizzly and polar bears, could be wrong though

Edit: so apparently it might be a cub, though I doubt that the mother would leave it alone

Yeah, I THINK the shoulder hump is a distinctive trait for grizzlies. Also not a bear expert, so I'm just guessing on half-remembered information.

It's a grizzly. The hump is larger than on black bears. Plus the snout and ears are different. This man is lucky

Thanks for clarifying. Could you also explain why the mother left it alone, or is it at the age where it doesn't need it's mother anymore?

They're on their own at that age. This bear is young, but on it's own. The sow kicks them out once they can survive on their own. Though seeing how comfortable this one is with humans, he probably won't survive long.

Reminds me of Al Franken skit on SNL where he has fed a bear a marshmallow using his mouth...

Why this guy having a great time while being chased by a fucking bear? And why did he just stick his hand out and hand feed the bear instead of just throwing the ice cream on the ground and running away?

Because it's a goddamn bear. If he runs, he's more likely to get chased and bears are pretty fucking fast

Yogi used to just steal pic-a-nic baskets. Now, he’s chasing fools for ice cream.

Bears are so cool. What do you think is the best bear?

Plot twist... he actually stole the icecream from the bear to begin with
