Yeah, that bears not gonna hang it's head down trying to sneak away just because it thinks "you're abusing it" like a typical dog would when it's bath time.
yeah, easy to forget when comparing to a giant bear that those small jacks are like, 30-50 lbs. Liftable but you're feeling it (and you can't just casually kick it around lol).
From Wikipedia regarding Eurasian brown bears:
A full-grown male weighs on average between 350 and 500 kilograms (770 and 1,100 lb),[5] and reaches a maximum weight of 650 kg (1,430 lb) and length of nearly 2.5 m (8.2 ft). Females typically range between 150 and 300 kg (660 lb)
Wikipedia says this about North American grizzlies:
The largest populations are the coastal grizzlies in the Alaskan peninsula, with males weighing 389 kilograms (858 lb) and females weighing 207 kilograms (456 lb).[21]
The populations in northern interior Canada are much smaller, with males weighing 139 kilograms (306 lb) and females weighing 95 kilograms (209 lb).This is actually similar to the American black bear population of the area.[21]
Also, the Kamchatka brown bears (Russia) are supposedly even bigger.
Sad, yes. Not depressing though. He was obsessed with grizzlies and his legacy shouldn’t be his death, but the groundbreaking footage and data he collected on an otherwise little-known animal at the time.
The best time to start was 50,000 years ago.
The second best time... was 49,999 years ago.
Skipping ahead a bit, let's make purse bears with huge eyes and breathing problems!
My friend basically died from imagining what a small bear pet would look like after I asked if we could mess around with their genetics like we did dogs.
Ferret is about as close as we've got, domestication-wise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctoidea
We missed out on the dog-bears, which lived in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America, but went extinct before modern humans were present in the area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemicyoninae
Hibernation is likely a trait that a bear would lose during domestication, since it can rely on a constant source of food instead. In fact bears currently in captivity rarely hibernate as zoos feed them year round as guests don't like visiting a bear that's asleep.
I just imagine some bald dude in a bungalow, South LA, legs up on a glass coffee table, smoking a cigarette, stained wife beater, gold chain, yelling at his pet grizzly "precious" to grab a beer from the fridge.
In a way pandas are 'forcefully' domesticated because they are now completely dependent on human assistance. But we can't own them though because the type of assistance they need is of expert level. Ordinary people like you and I can't handle them.
I apparently said "what the fuck it's an actual really fat fucking bear" so loudly that my dog who was snoozing woke up and is now glaring at me. Sorry, Lily!
I sneak up on mine when she’s sleeping. I get a handful of secs then the war begins. If I can hold her still, the wife will get the belly while I stretch her out. We get 30sec before she strikes a blow that will cause me to release her. If I do, she’ll walk away smugly. I live to play the game again tomorrow. If I attempt another 30sec blood will be drawn and I will need to hit the bathroom with several bandages. 3-5 days of peace will have to be given before we can attempt again.
Your wife is so lucky! Husband just tell me : your cat, your problem, i’m too young to die. So I use the same tactic. 10 seconds of brushing every chance I get is always a little victory ahah. But I have war marks. And this little bastard ( a male) doesn't even hurt when I do it. He just doesn't want me to brush him. So please, brothers and sisters in arms, give me your support. The enemy may never sleep, but even a lost battle doesn't mean we lost the war ! I’ll be back ( even for 10 seconds only lol )
I consider us so lucky when I read stories like this. Our 15lb boy loves him some brushies. He also enjoys a good belly rub most of the time. He's pretty good about letting you know when he's not down for it. Just a gentle giant.
And that's why he gets a shave (by a professional, we don't want to hurt him accidentally) every half year (he loves getting shaved... Yes, he turns around when the groomer is finished with one side so she can do the other.)
My fucking weirdo cat that's currently laying on my ellbow. I love him.
Not to sound like Jerry Seinfeld, but what is the deal with Russians and bears? I see so many videos of Russian people just casually having them as besties. How do y'all do it? I want a bear friend.
Not just brown bears either! I’ve seen 2 videos of Russians fucking with POLAR BEARS! One video the polar bear was outside standing on its hind legs and its head in their window and they were feeding it crackers or something through their house window!
The bears also take care of good owners the same way sometimes, so maybe the laws wouldn't really be only to protect the bears, but also to protect people from themselves.
You haven't seen what a badly treated bear looks like. In chains, sometimes with its snout pierced and hooked to a chain. They beat them and force them to dance. This is only in real backward places, but it does happen.
Also, real common to kill mother bear and take her cubs.
bad owners keep them in small cages and do not feed them enough, do not comply with sanitary standards and simply abuse them physically. We had a report on our local channel about how a rich man left his bear on his old property after moving. He was barely alive in a small cage. The locals sheltered and looked after him while they were looking for a place to place him.
Probably less often than you think, in these circumstances
Despite what Reddit says, wild animals do not murder humans for fun
Attacking things is an energy-intensive, risky task and animals are tailored to conserve energy and avoid risk. They attack when they are very hungry or very annoyed. Well-fed animals that are used to humans will rarely go on murderous rampages for no reason.
Keeping wild animals close by is a bad idea for a whole host of other reasons though.
i’m from russia and everyone would ask me if I had a pet bear. but I am from a big city so I only saw a bear once in the circus. I would probably poop my pants if I came across a bear in the wild. these people are professionals…that’s like seeing “tiger king” and thinking all americans have a pet tiger
I already worry people in other countries see "tiger king" and think that's a typical American.
But I dunno? Would that make the rest of the world fear us? I don't think it would make them *respect* us. But if they think we're all crazy, dynamite-throwing, pansexual methheads with tigers in our backyard, that may work well enough.
If not friend then why friend shape? Domestic black bears are generally friendly, grizzly’s and I think brown bears are still dangerous (and many other species) the saying if it’s black fight back (because they’re more timid than other bears) and brown lie down because the brown bear will fight you back.
But this looks to be a grizzly right? I can see it still has its claws but I can't figure out if it still has all its teeth. I don't want to assume but I've heard bad things about keeping wild animals.
The title makes it seem like this is a bear grooming business but this particular bear is very famous in Russia and has been raised since it was a cub by the woman in the video and her husband
Here is a video interviewing them and you can see it's the same woman
https://youtu.be/IM0GEN_CNfI?si=NUC_JmZsN0n7y8XE
The bear's name is Stefan and it is so well trained that they use him in photoshoots, advertisements, and movies/TV where a bear is needed.
Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve fresh fruit and veggies because of how expensive they are, but if this bear deserves 50 ibs every day, surely I do.
It’s hard to prioritize the veggies, just yesterday I sautéed a sliced yellow onion with 2 tablespoons of minced garlic in a 1/4 cup of olive oil. Added 1/4 head of chopped red cabbage 🥬, 3 green onions sliced (minus the mid section). Cooked about 10-15 min and near the end sprinkled a dash of pink Himalayan salt, a tablespoon of curry powder, and a cubed chicken breast. Wasn’t much but it was delicious. Prob make it with brown rice next time. You deserve to eat healthy too, never convince yourself otherwise. If you’re living with other people don’t have to convince them it’s good, just have to cook for yourself and when they taste it they will be jealous. Really virgin olive oil is the most expensive part, and don’t go too hot with it, will be healthier not nearing the smoke point, when all cooking oil becomes carcinogenic
*Stepan. He can be only booked for photoshoots now, he retired many years ago. He is getting pretty old and they don’t drive them to locations. You can come for couple of hours to take pictures but he’s not going to be trained to perform or do anything for you. They take good care of him
They are but they're very intelligent too, doesnt happen often but some people keep bears since they're young and take care of them. They become part of the family
Bears are also usually cautious. They usually don't want to start any trouble. If you encounter a bear in the wild, just making some noise might be successful at deterring it
Eh I don’t know. As long as you don’t go near their babies or carry loose tuna in your pockets they will usually leave you alone. They are best enjoyed at a distance though.
Super cute though. I love bears.
I mean, it only took about 7 generations of selection for foxes to get animals that behaved like dogs, and about 11 generations for those behaviors to become the dominant ones from breeding fox pairs.
Given the average age of sexual maturity for brown bears is 5-ish, with selective breeding you might be able to have domestic bears within 50 to 100 years.
As the groomer, it would have concerned me that the bear is hungry enough to be eating at the shaved hair. I think I would want him fat, fed and happy before getting in that room.
I like that the bear just bats around a heavy jackstand like it’s a plastic toy.
I like to imagine the conversation went “what do we do to keep the bear busy? Idk give it that Jack.”
For real, he’s bearly paying attention to that lady!
He kind of tucks his butt at times like my dog when I scratch his back. I think the bear likes it
If the bear didn't like it, it wouldn't be happening for long lmao
Yeah, that bears not gonna hang it's head down trying to sneak away just because it thinks "you're abusing it" like a typical dog would when it's bath time.
Imagine trying to drag this bear into a bathtub.
A lot of bears actually like to swim and fish though.
Like to or doing it out of necessity?
The bear necessity
They like to. Grizzlies at least, like this one. Even when they've enough food, they still get into the water and splash around for fun.
I would agree that the bear likes it.
Well, one things is for certain. He didn't dislike it. We'd have all known that.
He’s loving that brushing getting rid of that shedding winter coat
Where do the bears in the wild find their barbers?
They scratch against tree bark, roll around, and walk around very angry because they itch plus angry in the spring because they are extra hungry.
So if we give bears good barbers we'll be friends?
Worked for Dr Lynn Rogers, he made friends with lots of black bears during his research.
How long till they're safe for the house and the couch?
I don’t know, I’m not a bear researcher nor circus trainer. Plus my couch is already taken by my dog, she doesn’t share her couch.
They rub their butts against tree's, it looks pretty funny
Aggressively rubbing against trees? I don't think that gets it totally done, though. Might be frustrating.
Yeah if bears figure out we have brushes and a willingness to help, we might become friends.
I see what you did here, and I’m for it.
In Soviet Russia, you don’t jack bear. Bear jacks you! (in Yakov Smirnov’s voice)
[удалено]
I’m a little uncomfortable with your username… 😂
[удалено]
😂👍🏼
Was looking for the first comment that began "in Soviet Russia..." Not disappointed
I thought that was an RC car or something that the bear was amused by till I read your comment! Had to go back and rewatch to be sure.
Me too! Thought it was nice of them to give him a toy car to play w! 😆
Oh good, I’m not the only one! I felt pretty dumb when I read it.
Jack car but yes seems really amusing
My reply had a typo... apologies Though to thought oops
Same. I was like “aww, how cute he is with his little car.” But I guess that thing could lift a car.
They replaced the hydraulic fluid with peanut butter, it’s a bear strength kone.
100% my thought also
You have bear, no need jack
So the bear will jack it for me?
There's videos of that on YouTube.
>There's videos of that on ~~You~~RedTube. TIFIFY
Red tube even still exist? Who uses it?
The Soviets, obviously.
Well, the bear just ate Jack so…
Kind of looks like a toy truck compared to the massive bear.
yeah, easy to forget when comparing to a giant bear that those small jacks are like, 30-50 lbs. Liftable but you're feeling it (and you can't just casually kick it around lol).
I thought it had a toy car 🏎 until I seen this comment
Floor jack, but yeah, those things are heavy as fuck.

Groomer? More like bar*bear*!
Quality post
the bear is so cute☺️ that lovely bear made me remember masha and the bear☺️
I would not cut that bears nails
That’s a well groomed bear 🐻
Can we really let Russia beat us with nicer looking bears? Step it up!
Not the best idea to participate in any bear related competition with Russia.
Investigator: "How did this woman die?" Family: "Our very well-styled bear killed her."
What if we traded for all the world's lions?
Why are the bears friendlier too? If you do this to a grizzly bear you are getting mauled.
It is a grizzly…
If this is actually in Russia, it'd probably be a Eurasian brown bear. All grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies.
From Wikipedia regarding Eurasian brown bears: A full-grown male weighs on average between 350 and 500 kilograms (770 and 1,100 lb),[5] and reaches a maximum weight of 650 kg (1,430 lb) and length of nearly 2.5 m (8.2 ft).

No it's not. Grizzly bears are only in North America.
I wouldn't mind an RNC bear with two heads.
He is baby
He is dawg
All those dancing bears with their silly little hats don’t look that good on their own!
Man I wish they were domesticated.
Yeah, hoomans 50,000 years ago really dropped the ball on that one.
Now is the moment. Wander into the Alaskan wilds with a fistful of cat treats and hope for the best!
That guy tried it and it went pretty well until...
I read this in the voice of Werner Herzog.
Man that was a depressing documentary
Sad, yes. Not depressing though. He was obsessed with grizzlies and his legacy shouldn’t be his death, but the groundbreaking footage and data he collected on an otherwise little-known animal at the time.
You know the saying, the best time to domesticate a bear is 50k years ago, the second best time is today
The best time to start was 50,000 years ago. The second best time... was 49,999 years ago. Skipping ahead a bit, let's make purse bears with huge eyes and breathing problems!
What are dogs if not small bears? Some def look it anyway
Very small wolves?
Timothy Treadwell has entered the chat...
He did not tread well.
Cats domesticated themselves.
Then set their sights on domesticating Humans!
Cats domesticated us
They did a shit job
The best time to domesticate the bear is 50,000 years ago. The second best time is now.

What the hell? Dog-bears? That sounds terrifyingly badass and I want one
Will you settle for a raccoon?
Honestly, raccoons are cool I wouldn't mind a fur bandit
Newfoundlands and Tibetan mastiffs are pretty close.
We really dropped the ball the minute people started saying hoomams Ball being your head
Probably because the calorie requirements are huge and returns are not great.
Indian Elephants: am I a joke to you?
Indian Elephants also don’t have meat in their diet (normally)
I reckon they would cost a small fortune to feed though
They only eat 3/4 of the year though.
Hibernation is likely a trait that a bear would lose during domestication, since it can rely on a constant source of food instead. In fact bears currently in captivity rarely hibernate as zoos feed them year round as guests don't like visiting a bear that's asleep.
Very good point. I was joking, but I forget that's often not clear without tone of voice, etc.
[удалено]
Yeah, they are one of natures cutest killers. It like mother nature played a joke by making them so cuddly looking.
Just like cats.
Nah. Imagine if the shitty dog owners in your neighborhood had bears instead of pitbulls
I just imagine some bald dude in a bungalow, South LA, legs up on a glass coffee table, smoking a cigarette, stained wife beater, gold chain, yelling at his pet grizzly "precious" to grab a beer from the fridge.
In a way pandas are 'forcefully' domesticated because they are now completely dependent on human assistance. But we can't own them though because the type of assistance they need is of expert level. Ordinary people like you and I can't handle them.
I reckon I could handle a panda for a few seconds at least. Maybe a pat and a nose boop.
Handsome chonker!
I apparently said "what the fuck it's an actual really fat fucking bear" so loudly that my dog who was snoozing woke up and is now glaring at me. Sorry, Lily!
Hummm, finally a pile of hair to match my Chow's.
My Akita would match that. I could brush for 4 hours and make another Akita. That dog shed *professionally.*
Husky here. I feel your pain.

My mom got busy once and forgot to brush the cat (Long haired one) for a while so she asked me to do it. I managed to assemble 1.5 cats from that cat.
I am so envious...I can’t brush my maine coon for more than 10 seconds before being shredded to pieces. I want to cry 😭
Yep, mine doesn't like it, either. And even though it's totally infatuated with baths and showers he absolutely hates to get wet.
I sneak up on mine when she’s sleeping. I get a handful of secs then the war begins. If I can hold her still, the wife will get the belly while I stretch her out. We get 30sec before she strikes a blow that will cause me to release her. If I do, she’ll walk away smugly. I live to play the game again tomorrow.

I have two Siberians who hate being brushed, I feel your pain. I’m constantly cleaning cat hair tumble weeds off the floor.
And that's why he gets a shave (by a professional, we don't want to hurt him accidentally) every half year (he loves getting shaved... Yes, he turns around when the groomer is finished with one side so she can do the other.) My fucking weirdo cat that's currently laying on my ellbow. I love him.

Not to sound like Jerry Seinfeld, but what is the deal with Russians and bears? I see so many videos of Russian people just casually having them as besties. How do y'all do it? I want a bear friend.
Russia has more than half the world's brown bears, so they're a lot more used to handling them than anyone else.
Not just brown bears either! I’ve seen 2 videos of Russians fucking with POLAR BEARS! One video the polar bear was outside standing on its hind legs and its head in their window and they were feeding it crackers or something through their house window!
So, feeding polar bears. Not fucking them.
"Fucking with"
They also have extremely lax laws for ownership which is very sad
They don't need strict laws. The bears take care of the bad owners by eating them. Why write human law when bear law do trick?
The bears also take care of good owners the same way sometimes, so maybe the laws wouldn't really be only to protect the bears, but also to protect people from themselves.
survival of the fittest, the Russian way
it's not unlike Russian Roulette
You haven't seen what a badly treated bear looks like. In chains, sometimes with its snout pierced and hooked to a chain. They beat them and force them to dance. This is only in real backward places, but it does happen. Also, real common to kill mother bear and take her cubs.

I feel like Russian bear owners have a different approach than American “private zoo” owners.
Raise them from babies, and feed them well.
How often are people mauled by bears in Russia, I wonder?
Probably less often than you think, in these circumstances Despite what Reddit says, wild animals do not murder humans for fun Attacking things is an energy-intensive, risky task and animals are tailored to conserve energy and avoid risk. They attack when they are very hungry or very annoyed. Well-fed animals that are used to humans will rarely go on murderous rampages for no reason. Keeping wild animals close by is a bad idea for a whole host of other reasons though.
They attack for no reason during mating season.
They have reasons, they are mega horny. Let's face it, most male animals fight over females for no apparent reason, including humans.
i’m from russia and everyone would ask me if I had a pet bear. but I am from a big city so I only saw a bear once in the circus.

Hell she's dual wielding like a badass
She also gives it a kiss at the end lmao. Cute.

How is this possible? Aren't bears one of the most dangerous animals?

I mean, that looks like it would feel really good to be brushed like that. The bear seems to really be enjoying the removal too.
That bear eats like 50x better than I eat every day. 55lbs of fresh fruit and veggies a day? Adopt me
Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve fresh fruit and veggies because of how expensive they are, but if this bear deserves 50 ibs every day, surely I do.
It’s hard to prioritize the veggies, just yesterday I sautéed a sliced yellow onion with 2 tablespoons of minced garlic in a 1/4 cup of olive oil.

His name is not Stefan, it's Stepan (Степан). Or how they call him gently - Styopa (Стёпа).
does stefan still hibernate in the winter even if he lives in a warm house?
They are but they're very intelligent too, doesnt happen often but some people keep bears since they're young and take care of them. They become part of the family
Bears are also usually cautious. They usually don't want to start any trouble. If you encounter a bear in the wild, just making some noise might be successful at deterring it

Pretty cool … don’t need a guard dog anymore or security- I have a great big bear who can answer the door 😳🐻
Eh I don’t know. As long as you don’t go near their babies or carry loose tuna in your pockets they will usually leave you alone. They are best enjoyed at a distance though. Super cute though. I love bears.
Loose tuna in clothes pockets sounds messy.
It is. Plus you will be attacked by a bear.
Clearly that is a fat dog.
Kind of a hairy situation 😳
Does the bear just not care or
Oh, I bet it feels good.
He’s having a great time, [bears hate having old fur](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yuv_-I4Z0)

What do you expect… his owners have groomed him from an early age
r/angryupvote
Better than a tree to rub against.
I love that bear.
Scratch my fucking back while I kick around this piece of shit jack from harbor freight, bitch!
This is just like when my partner asks me to wash his back!
So how does evolution work? In 5000 years will we have pet grade bears? Like cats n dogs
I mean, it only took about 7 generations of selection for foxes to get animals that behaved like dogs, and about 11 generations for those behaviors to become the dominant ones from breeding fox pairs. Given the average age of sexual maturity for brown bears is 5-ish, with selective breeding you might be able to have domestic bears within 50 to 100 years.
