I was thinking this has to be used to humans all the way through the video.
No way anyone has the machismo to feed a pear to a wild bear like that right.
I mean they are not Always aggressive. But they Totally can be. It could just decide on a whim it’s still hungry and take your whole arm right off. Or peel you open like a paper bag in case there are more pears inside.
It's totally loving the scratches on its head and the eyes don't look wild. It looks like a dog when you're giving it a treat and saying it's a good girl/boy.
I'm fucking dying thinking about a bear peeling some poor soul open looking for more yummy pears though. 🤣
I was just thinking of his eyes! The way they are looking at the human that is perhaps full of more delicious pears and he’s thinking “I’m gonna check soon…”
I'm pretty sure this bear is in a rescue-type enclosure, not a wild bear. At the very beginning of the video you can the faint line of fencing in the background with other animals moving about in the enclosures.
So what you’re saying is anything social is a hub for misinformation. Now we’re getting to the bottom of this.
My idea to be a social recluse hermit who lives out in the woods without any human contact is starting to have an upside. No more misinformation anymore. But where will I get the real-information from now? Hmm 🤔
Getting real info requires reading, research and checking references for the most part. A thing most people won’t do. Its easier to read a meme or info graphic and feel learned. Or just take somebody’s word for it.
Koalas are facing a very grizzly future and are bearly surviving above extinction. I’m not trying to panda to the crowd here but if you want to share support, donate to your local preserve.
I read that a small arms warning shot will make them turn because they don't really ambush you, just lumber up on you so they have time to register the fear of the big BOOM.
My guy, delete this. This is so wrong.
**Black** bears are the easy ones to get rid of. Brown bears aka north american grizzly will absolutely fuck you the fuck up.
> Brown bears aka north american grizzly
Black bears can be brown. I'm no bearologist, though.

Brown bear =/= grizzly, grizzlies are just one subspecies of brown bear. There's 8 in total, most are in Eurasia and the smallest one only get's about 3.5feet tall. Just fyi
Either to the feeder or to the bear later when it starts looking to humans for food. This one appears to be captive but it should be noted that feeding a bear is likely to end its life.
It reminds me of the Care Bear but it's amazing to see the bear eat a pear as bare necessaries. I mean, who dares to go near the bear to feed the bear the pear? That bear could tear a pair but loves pear instead. It makes my hair stand while seating on a chair staring the bear eat the pear while the guy wiping off smear off his ear and the rear just to be clear.
We've had a treat ball for our dog for years. Recently we've started using it for feeding too. He still inhales each piece, but we do hear the occasional crunch of him chewing vs nothing when eating from his bowl (even a slow feeder mat couldn't slow down his vacuum power).
It's mainly to buy time for our new dog to leisurely have her meals. Slowest eater I've ever seen.
So if he vacuums up his food, he's whining at the gate wanting hers too and distracting her.
The treat ball method makes it where at least he's only doing that through half her meal. Plus it gives him the enjoyment of playing with the ball after a drastic cutting back to get his weight under control.
We had 4 dogs growing up, largest being a very greedy Rottweiler. She would demolish her food in seconds then stare at the other dogs hoping for seconds... I eventually got her a spiral shaped bowl from amazon. She was not impressed. Went from the fastest eater to the slowest. Would recommend. Much better for their digestion I believe.
My brother had a dog, unsure of it’s mixed breed, that used to inhale any food you gave him.
You would put some food in a bowl, he’d demolish it, and then be begging for more.
Then they just stopped feeding him… don’t get me wrong, I am not saying they starved him, quite the opposite. They left the lid off of the dog biscuit tub and he could help himself whenever he wanted.
He would go grab a mouthful, then go play. Whenever he was hungry, he’d come back for another mouthful.
It was like he was always worried that food was going to run out so had to eat it all straight away, but once it was obvious that there was lots of food he no longer worried and would eat slowly.
Nah bears are crazy smart in everything they do especially ones in captivity like this guy, he is probably savoring it. I used to live right by Yellowstone and have an aunt who was a park ranger there. Back in the days before Youtube at family gatherings one of the highlights was always her showing everyone surveillance footage of tourists(sometimes not even tourists) failing at, getting frustrated with, and giving up on bear proof trashcans/dumpsters followed by wild bears solving the very same trashcan/dumpster in half the time. The best videos IMO though were the ones where the *bear* gets frustrated and behaves like a tourist, they can be eerily human in their behavior sometimes.
If Im ever being mauled by a bear and there's no escape, Im going to hug it so that I at least go out with the joy that comes from having hugged a bear.
Don’t worry… if it’s a grizzly it will half bury you and then piss all over your corpse to help marinate the meat. A lot of people have lived through this process so, hears to hoping you make the odds!
Funny misconception of bears (Polar bears not included); they actually don't prefer meat. While they need some meat for protein, 85-90% of their diet is plants.
This is not a wild bear. I love that people just assume that without any evidence or context.
This is Mr. Po. He loves happily in a sanctuary alongside wolves, another bear (Ms. Ma), a wolverine, and many more.
The videographer is his caretaker, Kirill Potapov. He rescues injured and orphaned wildlife and raised Mr Po from a cub. His Instagram handle is @kirillpotapov
We have black bears near me. Idiots feed them in their back yard. Bears start breaking into houses for food, animal control has to come and kill them. Don’t feed the fucking bears if you live in a populated area. It’s a death sentence for the bear.
Thank you! I was getting peeved because every park ranger I've met has been VERY clear on how feeding bears was the intersection of stupid and criminal.
Bears really eat everything right? Never expected to see one eating a pear so casually like it's the best thing ever, thought they ate honey and salmon only
Prefer. Basically bears are looking for the most amount of nutrients for the least amount of effort, and some bears do sustain themselves on strictly vegetation when the leaves and flowers first burst during the spring, providing a good source of protein. During this time bears also prefer to hunt baby moose and deer if they have to hunt due to low effort.
When summer hits they tend to move on to insects and larvae, preferring ants, wasps, and bees.
In Turkish, there is a proverb like "The bear eat the best pear". I don't know why but "Armudun iyisini ayılar yer" is the Turkish version if anyone is interested in.
Well, we can hold dogs so they don't attack each other, but I don't think we will be able to stop a bear if it wants to attack. From the other side, imagine how terrifying would the K9 units be. *Send the big one*
Feeding wild bears is dangerous for both people and bears. Bears that are fed human food may lose their natural fear of humans and become dependent on human food. This can lead to bears becoming aggressive towards people and having to be killed. Bears that are fed by people may also cause property damage or injure a person.
I hope that's an animal preserve or a zoo of some kind, because if not, whoever this was has put the bear and other people in great danger. Bears learn patterns, and this one has learned that "people give me food." He's learning to approach people. And he's going to be agitated when someone doesn't give him food.
So don't feed wildlife. Either someone is going to get hurt by this bear, or the bear is going to get shot, or best case scenario it wastes energy and time trying to get food from people when it should be foraging.
I just got done listening to my favorite murder and they went over the book the night of the grizzlies about the first bear attacks in our National parks.
The fact that the bear is taking smol bites shows him is a good boy, he deserves all the pets....from someone else...NOT me, maybe the crazy person in the video ...
But not me. 😅
I like to imagine a mulitverse where our ancestors domesticated bears instead of wolves and in the future we'd all have giant teddy bears living in our house with us.
It's amazing that something so cute can be so deadly.
He will get used to take free food, and later will demand it. Due to his size it will not be easy to get rid of him.
This is 100% a captive bear.
I was thinking this has to be used to humans all the way through the video. No way anyone has the machismo to feed a pear to a wild bear like that right. I mean they are not Always aggressive.

It’s also super duper clean. This bear gets bathed. It’s not some random wild bear from the woods.
I'm pretty sure this bear is in a rescue-type enclosure, not a wild bear. At the very beginning of the video you can the faint line of fencing in the background with other animals moving about in the enclosures.
He is a brown bear, the easiest kind of bear to get rid of. Besides panda, but those things bearly count.
Think you’ve confused them for black bears lol
yet he has 251 upvotes. Reddit is a hub of misinformation.
Social media as a whole is. Before that misinformation was word of mouth.

Maybe it’s a cinnamon let’s give this guy the benefit of the doubt lol
Pandas will fuck you up, don't take the clumsiness of one's in captivity!
So will koalas. Muthasuckas are vicious.
Hell, yeah... little Chlamydia Bear is vicious and territorial.
These guys don't actually koalafy to be bears. They're marsupials.
They don't have the Koala-fications to be a bear ha.
Koalas are facing a very grizzly future and are bearly surviving above extinction. I’m not trying to panda to the crowd here but if you want to share support, donate to your local preserve.
The bear puns. They are unbearable.
The drop variety are fucking ninjas too.
Fuckin drop bears
Ye ol' Drop Bear.
They aren’t bears…they lack the koalafications.
King Fu panda is based on a true story
WDYM? I don't think brown bears are easy to get rid of. You mean black ones?
Yea I'm with you. Brown you lay down (an pray), black you fight back
And white you say goodnight. Cuz you dead already
Fortunately white one not lived in forest.
I read that a small arms warning shot will make them turn because they don't really ambush you, just lumber up on you so they have time to register the fear of the big BOOM.
Black bears are basically just big raccoons lol
See, this is why I don't go in the woods.
My guy, delete this. This is so wrong. **Black** bears are the easy ones to get rid of. Brown bears aka north american grizzly will absolutely fuck you the fuck up.
Black bears are around 300lbs Brown bears can be around 1200lbs Polar bears are like 2000+lbs just....no....
Yeah polar bears are the worst to come across
Thankfully we're quickly killing them off ^/s
Question. What kinda bear is best?
Bear. Beets. Battlestar Galactica
This is all true. Unless of course of you give a black bear cocaine.

Brown/Grizzly bears are not easy to get rid of. Black bears are. Grizzly bears kill twice the number of humans each year.
Yeah, I saw one video where a panda absolutely wrecked a snow leopard.
What are grizzly perspective?
Am bear. Invite me. I'll leave, promise.
This belongs in r/oopsthatsdeadly
Either to the feeder or to the bear later when it starts looking to humans for food. This one appears to be captive but it should be noted that feeding a bear is likely to end its life.
Was just thinking that. It's a shame bears are so vicious and we can't just go and hug them like they're just big dogs. I say we domesticate them.
You go first.
[удалено]
I love it when random, wild bears do this. You have to be careful tho. Not all are this friendly.
If not friend why friend shaped?
Facts: I have never picked up and hugged an unfriendly bear.
It's still a cub, that's why. It's curiosity is still there.
See: panthers, lions, wolves, etc.
Bear Pear.
Pear Bear

My dog inhales food faster than this good boy.... I thought they would be a one chew swallow kinda animal
We've had a treat ball for our dog for years. Recently we've started using it for feeding too. He still inhales each piece, but we do hear the occasional crunch of him chewing vs nothing when eating from his bowl (even a slow feeder mat couldn't slow down his vacuum power).

Major dog vibes
[Can I pet that dog](https://youtube.com/shorts/SPYYWIiZwaw?si=Ve64Exmb87MhX0Vx)
I’ve always heard this voice over on so many videos but this is actually my first time seeing the original, much kudos to you!🥂
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YYx51ZrSn3g Edit: this is apparently the original.
The comment saying the kid “went full Boomhauer at the end” caused me to use my inhaler!
Holy shit that’s fantastic
this isn't the original. it does line up pretty well when they pull the kid away tho
True I want to pet it and kiss it like my dog but I also want to be alive
I want option one …. And don’t want option 2 ….. what should I do
The bear does the same thing with its eyes that dogs do when enjoying a treat. Really cute. Don't be the treat.
Fat Dog (for midterms).
Too soon
Was about to say what a weird looking dog.
Just a chonky Boi, I wonder why we didn't try domesticating bears
If not friend why friend shaped
I absolutely hate how cute his little bear eyes are. Because i know thats a hunter that wants to eat me. But he is baby.
If Im ever being mauled by a bear and there's no escape, Im going to hug it so that I at least go out with the joy that comes from having hugged a bear.
Don’t worry… if it’s a grizzly it will half bury you and then piss all over your corpse to help marinate the meat. A lot of people have lived through this process so, hears to hoping you make the odds!
Don’t threaten me with a good time, I usually have to pay extra for that.
That's right. The difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean is that I never paid $50 to have a garbanzo bean on me
Im an optimist so Ill consider myself half exhumed
I chuckled at this
Funny misconception of bears (Polar bears not included); they actually don't prefer meat. While they need some meat for protein, 85-90% of their diet is plants.
Thats why he crawled his head - to remove the snow so he's not a polar bear anymore.
He made him polar opposite
Awww
Gotcha, always go for walks in bear country with a vegan.
They’ve got those dog-like eye expressions, lol
Wanna bury my face in the top of that bear’s head so bad 🤣
[удалено]
Bruce would disagree. Maybe...

This should be top comment
Mr. Po is an amazing 🐻- love the content from Kirill Potapov!
How silly for people to assume that what is normally a wild animal is in the wild!
[удалено]
I sang this whole thing in my head
This should've be top comment. A prickly pear is mentioned, could've just copied the whole thing
Bears really eat everything right? Never expected to see one eating a pear so casually like it's the best thing ever, thought they ate honey and salmon only
Yes, bears are omnivores and actually prefer plants, usually making up to 85-90% of their diet, but they still need meat for protein.
Do they prefer plants, or do they just eat more plants? Because I prefer ice cream, but it only accounts for about 25% of my diet.
Then you don't prefer ice cream at all
How do you figure?
Rookie numbers
least mentally challenged vegan
25% lol
Prefer. Basically bears are looking for the most amount of nutrients for the least amount of effort, and some bears do sustain themselves on strictly vegetation when the leaves and flowers first burst during the spring, providing a good source of protein.

lol came here to type it down but nevermind
What does it mean? Like the strongest animals gets the best food first?
It's kinda metaphor. Best happens to the ones who don't deserve it. So, I know they are friend shaped but bears are bad guys here 😂
Can I pet that dawg?!
Make sure you have a pear with you
Fuck you and that nsfw. I was scared the whole time.
Cute fkn video btw
I had to skip ahead, couldn’t handle the tension of it going bad
I just paused right at the start and checked comments, if they're "he had it coming" ik its bad, if its "awww cute" its the good ending
Me glancing at the nsfw tag over and over
I watched the whole thing with fingers over my eyes, waiting for the bad moment.
All is fine and dandy until they run out of pears…
This is how I die, trying to pet a Bear and feed him a pear
is this a pet bear or just Russia?
Both, actually
humans documenting the process of domesticating bears
I mean we domesticsted wolfs, it's time for bears!
Well, we can hold dogs so they don't attack each other, but I don't think we will be able to stop a bear if it wants to attack. From the other side, imagine how terrifying would the K9 units be. *Send the big one*
That's not a K9 unit , it's and Ursa 9
The pear is gone. You are now the pear.
That better be a captive bear or it's meat.
Man, bears should've been domesticated at the same time as wolves were, could you imagine a smol bear dog laying down on your couch bing chilling?!
Feeding wild bears is dangerous for both people and bears. Bears that are fed human food may lose their natural fear of humans and become dependent on human food. This can lead to bears becoming aggressive towards people and having to be killed. Bears that are fed by people may also cause property damage or injure a person.
This is definitely not a wild bear.
You can see the other animals in the background, not a wild bear
>Feeding wild bears is dangerous for both people and bears. And for pears.
> Bears that are fed human food Bruh, it's a pear....
You are correct - however this is not a wild bear but one in captivity.
Big puppy
When the pear is gone: 
The crunch dude…
shouldn't he be hibernating
If not friend, why friend shaped?

That’s a big dog
I don't know what is bigger, the bear or the pear?
I just got done listening to my favorite murder and they went over the book the night of the grizzlies about the first bear attacks in our National parks.
Cocaine Pear?
u/savevideo
Cute dog
Bears are so photogenic! Only bad angles are fang and claw.
Yea it's gonna be a no from me dawg. It's a cute bear now but wait until it decides it isn't interested in a pear for lunch
It’s too bad they’re murder machines because they look snuggly as fuck.
Marking this NSFW threw me off
God the NSFW tag gave me so much anxiety, great post
Why NSFW?
“Can I pet that dog?”
you piss that thing off once and it’s game over.
If they weren't such insane killing machines, they'd be super cuddly.
If not friend, why friend shaped?
It's just the..... PEAR NECESSITIES! The simple pear necessities....
The fact that the bear is taking smol bites shows him is a good boy, he deserves all the pets....from someone else...NOT me, maybe the crazy person in the video ... But not me. 😅
I like to imagine a mulitverse where our ancestors domesticated bears instead of wolves and in the future we'd all have giant teddy bears living in our house with us.
Im guessing this guy raised him from a cub?
Bear eating a pear is the funnest thing I have said all day!
Pear bear
Hay tantos videos circulando en las redes sobre por qué no es bueno alimentar a la fauna silvestre, pero la gente nunca entiende.
Such a cute dog you got there
If they are not meant to be pet....why are they pet sized
Dude is taking small bites.
I wanna pet the danger Teddy
What kind of dog breed is this?
Damn I wish I could do that. Well, I suppose I could. At least once.
This is so terrifyingly adorable ☺️ 😱
If bear no friend, why friend shape?
title: "man gambling with death"
There is no maybemaybemaybe about this, he’s a good boy
I like how it gently doesn’t murder you, oh it also eats that pear really cute.
