Always T-pose to assert dominance. Bears are gamers too.

Baloo was like "Mogli! Oh wait, nvm... uh, this is awkward..."

Boy didn't know he is a bear whisperer

Bear was just asking to see if the kid saw a blond girl, who broke into Bear's home, ate all his porridge and slept on his bed.

Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, old mother nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life"🎵🎶

The bear literally wanted to play. 🥺🥺🥺

Consider ourselves lucky that bears are dumb. If they weren't, we would be so screwed...

BC Conservation will do little- is my personal experience. Even after a coyote attacked our little Yorkie/ Shih Tzu cross dog, they would really only lift a finger if it “actually attacked a human”. We were living in Coquitlam at the time, and our family was VERY underwhelmed by BC Conservation’s approach. Very disappointed with them, our dog lost her eye and required 30 stitches, but BC Conservation literally did nothing.

Both them fools would of been in medical examiners office if it was a kodiak bear😂

[suggiethames]

the didn't look mean. It probably just wanted to play with the boy

[keifer]

Why was a bear allowed to even possibly enter a residency?

[FortniteBoss]
