EDIT - Just realized its already been posted. Sorry

Could you imagine seeing this walking down your driveway in low light? It'd be like bigfoot coming. Fast forward to about 40 seconds for the good stuff

Yes thats a cool video, pretty amazing stuff. I think you may have solved all the bigfoot sightings. Combine this with that video and I think the mystery has been solved.

I'm thinking they can see more around them when walking upright. Maybe she sensed someone watching and was on the alert. Or her front paws are sore lol.

She's obviously sick and tired of bearing that much weight on only one front leg. Pretty amazing ability to adapt.

Looks like she has a lame/hurt front left leg; probably what is leading to this walking upright. Seems like she has had some practice, maybe the injury is old.

Sure makes you think twice if it's a bear or human walking down a road or trail..

The video makes me think, to always keep the safety on and finger off the trigger till you are positive of the target, especially with a cub. Very good teaching video.

That is amazing.

As previously posted the bear is nursing a lame limb.

Kind of makes me think about the story from the Atlantic Provinces. Husband and wife up from the US to hunt black bear. Last light of day, wife sees bear approaching truck and shoots same. Ooops! It's hubby!! Explained away as a hunting accident initially. Husband's family hounds the RCMP and provide family details from down south and it is re-opened and she is charged with manslaughter and a few other things. She still hasn't gone to trial because she hasn't been extradited yet... without getting in to the legal stuff... seeing this bear doing this would you shoot at last light?? Who knows!! This is a cool video though!! Just shows that animals can adapt to things quite nicely!! In fact I saw a three-legged coyote hunting mice just a month ago and it wasn't starving!!

When I broke my arm, I had to learn to walk on my legs only......that was tough but you get used to it......

I only have to buy one pair of shoes now.....and my hands are a lot cleaner

Very interesting. I saw a video recently of a dog that had lost both its front legs and had adapted to walking upright on hind legs.

I wonder if her cubs will adapt the same habit?

Years ago there was a very large 3-legged bear [only one front leg] that frequented the dump where we lived. I often saw him up on his hind legs like that. Pretty impressive sight! Eagleye.

 

[Longshot]

That leg was actually missing!

Now I need to clean the coffee off of my screen, that's the funniest thing I've read in a while.
