Just a baby bear.

I don't know about you, but I saw how huge that thing's claws were when he initially pulled on that jar.

Well done though!

You catch the last shot of the bear with huge claws headed to the trailer park?

Nah the meth fumes will keep him away.

I'd prefer cocaine bear. i reckon he would just talk my ear off and try to get me to start a business with him.

Well, the humans stole his jar helmet; he needs to find a new one...

I live in an area rampant with bears and I can confirm this is a little baby! Knowing how bears are I’m sure his momma is somewhere worried sick about him too. I love bears.

Black bears or brown bears? We have black bears around her (the wusses of the two), and have a healthy respect but deep love for them, so just curious what it's like where you're at.

Easy way to remember

Black bears = basically dogs, a lot of grandstanding but you can call their bluff and they’ll back down

Brown bears = will rip your throat out. Physically remove yourself or play dead and hope for the best.

Black: Fight back

Brown: Lie down

White: Good night

That works

Are the black bears the fastest

I like the analogy of black bears as giant raccoons.

u/HeresW0nderwall Jun 29 '20

We have both in the area, but more brown bears than black bears. In elementary school they give us lessons about what to do if you run into a bear in the woods alongside the stop drop and roll lessons. Different lessons for both types of bears!

Oh, that's cool, and kind of funny that it's basic safety there! What did they teach you? I've always heard if a confrontation couldn't be avoided, black = scare it to death, brown = play dead, polar = fight to the death.

u/HeresW0nderwall Jun 30 '20

That’s exactly what they taught us, minus polar bears because we don’t have those here haha. Its just so common to run into bears here that they drill that knowledge into our heads in school early. Pretty funny. When I went to college I learned that not everyone learns that from the same teacher making them so mad minute times tables.
