The artists may have gotten creative with their portrayal of the omnivorous creature for entertainment purposes but they did hit pretty close to home.
Coming in close contact with a bear just to see if it’ll appreciate what’s in your picnic basket isn’t a very wise decision.
But what happens when a bear decides to crash your picnic and enjoy what’s on the table?
In fact, they reacted as though having lunch with a black bear was the most natural thing in the world.
Seated on a picnic table, four family members sat casually and looked on as the bear helped himself to a few spilled treats. The oblivious bear munched on happily, not caring at all how the family excitedly marveled at the interaction.
One of them even attempted to hand treats to the bear and touch its face!
While that was definitely a no-no, it was amazing (and a huge relief, honestly) that the bear didn’t react and chose to keep eating.
There were over a hundred comments on the entire scenario.
From witty, hilarious ones…
“Strange that the bear didn’t open a can of beer.”
“The Ranger isn’t going to like this, Yogi…”
“The bear is not wearing a mask…”
To more serious remarks on the possible dangers presented by the situation:
“It is normal when the bear sees people often and when he is not hungry. But guy who tried to touch him was lucky, because animals have their own etiquette of behavior, when you touch someone you cross the border of what is permissible. Never try to touch or pet a wild animal, even if it looks peaceful.”
While we can all agree that this black bear encounter was truly fascinating, the best takeaway from the scenario is to still use one’s presence of mind when face to face with undomesticated animals.
Thankfully, this hungry black bear just kept to one side of the table to enjoy the snacks.
Press play and watch how the bear makes itself comfortable at the picnic table!
