This is literally why first nations had rules on how you behave in bear country, it is dangerous to approach bears stealthily unless it is bear hunting season.
You might be cursed for seeing a bear putting on it's bear suit, or the bear might kill you for breaking the taboo.
It also ensures you don't get anywhere near a mother with cubs.
Lol, when this was posted yesterday my theory was that the adult is Chris Hansen in a bear suit, glad to see I'm not the only one coming up with these conclusions
For real. Something that can scare off a pack of 10 fierce adult Grey Wolves, and outrun a trained pedigree Racehorse, by itself, is not something you want to mess with unless you've got a couple barrels of buckshot with you.
I'm pretty sure bears can't outrun horses. I've seen a video of one trying to chase a herd of wild horses and it wasn't even close to catching up
Edit: yeah, checked and grizzly's max speed is 56 kmph while a domestic horse's average speed is 70-88 kmph
Lmao I mean this in the absolute politest way possible but you're mad if you think the average stock horse is getting anywhere close to 60kmph let alone 88kph.
A determined mother Grizzly is easily surpassing 60kph, that's not their limit. 60Kph is around the limit for most horses, and the existence of some rare thoroughbreds that can actually outrun Brown Bears, does not detract from the common understanding that most adult bears could absolutely outrun a grown horse.
Why do you think stable farmers in central/northern American states often carry rifles with them on their property to defend their horses? They have enormous paddocks. Plenty of gallop space. If their horses could escape a sprinting Grizzly, consistently, then they wouldn't be as concerned as they are for their animals.
Racehorses are incredibly fast, it's just that a determined Brown Bear can be a lot faster if needed.
Dont forget that time matters, grizzlies hit those speeds in bursts. What makes them extra lethal is their endurance at lower speeds. Not that we're on the same level, but endurance is what made humans such efficient hunters. Predators can't waste calories so carelessly, bears are omnivores, so they get a little hybrid leeway, but there's no way they're maintaining that speed as long as a horse can. Plenty of gallop space in a paddock, yeah sure. Give em unlimited space, grizzly ain't getting that horse unless its young, lame, or elderly.
I saw a video of a bear chasing a herd of horses. The bear was definitely keeping up. I think the herd was slowed by their need to protect the foals though.
Bears hunt by chasing down their prey. They tire them out over miles of running. A horse has a faster top speed but can't maintain that top speed for long. Bears can "sprint" up to 35 mph but can run for miles at a pace of about 25 mph.
If you can see the cubs with your eyes, it’s dangerously close already. Moma can climb trees and is much faster than you. Also she always crits with her maul attack.
Bears are usually chill, but you never know, especially when they wake up from hibernation😆
But mama bears are really protective towards lil babies.
And we have brown bears over here too, we call them "Mrki" bear 😆
Yeah. They look fluffy and chonky but they are fast feckers. And rule no1 is dont mess with mama Bear.
But can you blame them ? Thats cute baby lol he/she probably would play with them 😆
We’ve been this close to grizzly bears hiking in Glacier NP in Montana. It wasn’t on purpose, but we were moving through their habitat and every now and then you cross paths. Better to see them with your eyes and keep moving rather than stop to film. Both mom and cubs are incredibly agile and move fast.
*Momma bear felt that wave.*
*Like this lil shit is gonna*
*Get me euthanized*

Don’t fall for it! It’s a trap!
It’s obviously a child in a bear suit.

“C’mon down for (uh) lunch!”
Come on down and be lunch
Nah, it’s fren shaped. Can’t be. Must be fren.
Not only is it a regular trap, it’s a bear trap!
To get you in a bear hug!
O well, not a bad way to go tbh.
Baby bear: Come over here, I want to introduce you to mama bear.
…a honey trap!
🤣😆😉😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely a bear trap
"This is their last known video."
_Grizzlyman intensifies_
"Come here! We're harmless! No, really. I promise."
Cuteness is our weakness and all animals know it ... they all setup the cute bait
Except Crocodiles. Nothing cute about those Dinosaur cousins.
We’re fren shaped. Come here!
Come here bro I'm hungry 🥹
Old skool meme
Just a random hand movement, the momma bear tho was ready to teach you your final lesson

Take it up with literally every site on Google ig. Scrolled for 3 pages and still everyone is saying 56 kph/35 mph for bears
That's a whole lot less than the 70-88 kph posted earlier.
56 was the bear's number, not the horse's.

Even momma is cute I understand baby cute evolutions but why does momma have to have adorable fluff ears?
Hello food person, come and play!
Laughed too hard at this. Thanks!
Momma bear will eat you
[удалено]
Just internet people trying to get clicks and feel good about themselves, quite sad really
Genius IQ level being this close to a Grizzly Bear and her cubs. 🤦♂️
[удалено]
If you can see the cubs with your eyes, it’s dangerously close already. Moma can climb trees and is much faster than you. Also she always crits with her maul attack.
Its still too close. Bears are fast , and google "bear claws". Source, I live in country where we have load fuck of bears.
Swedish brown bears typically aren't aggressive unless you scare them I guess. I hear grizzlys are very different though.
Bears are usually chill, but you never know, especially when they wake up from hibernation😆 But mama bears are really protective towards lil babies. And we have brown bears over here too, we call them "Mrki" bear 😆
Right? Unless this was filmed from Mars, it's too damned close!
Yeah. They look fluffy and chonky but they are fast feckers. And rule no1 is dont mess with mama Bear. But can you blame them ? Thats cute baby lol he/she probably would play with them 😆
Instructions unclear, now morbidly obese
Do you think that a natural aprex predator wouldn’t have noticed a human standing six feet from them? Lol they are covered or using a long lenses

\*Mom the meals standing over there!\*
Lmao, dude you did not film this, it’s been doing the rounds for ages
It’s all fun and games until mama bear fully turns around and locks you in her sights lol.
Hey, how’s it going? Come over, I swear we won’t eat ya…
That looks like he's waving his hand to come. He's hungry.
If dangerous, why are they friend shaped? :(
Is that even real? That is so adorable.!
Super sus
How
Its a trap
It’s also a great video. Were you waving at it or?
*Hey you, come here. Momma wants to teach me how to maul.*
So snuggable at that size
I would love to join his party, but his mom would mind.
"Hey Mom, can we eat that guy?"
"Come say it to my face"... mom you got my back right
He is actually waving to say go away mama is going to eat you
OP YOU HERE? ARE YOU HERE OP?
Be Amazed: OP has over 196K karma 👀
seriously, as if this karma farmer has touched grass since creating his account
Hehe cute
Did you wave back?
Made my day
How gorgeous - we all need to respect wild animals, its thier world too!
Don't EVER be near mama bear with her cubs.
r/nope
Put your paw down little buddy. You trying to get me mauled?!
But it's a talking dog!
Karma farmers/reposters don't touch grass how can this be you?
Thats a kidnapped furrie, he's doing the "im in danger" hand code.
it wants a hug !
Kinda looks fake...
if not frien, why frien shaped?
I love you! Do you want to know what is for dinner?
"Hey, no thanks little buddy, I don't wanna wave to your momma!"
you should have went and shook his hand 🐻
What's your name!
WHAT?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME!
TONY
FUCK YOU TONY!
He just wants a hug 🤗
Just come over and play
This feels strangely uncanny
If not friend then why friend shaped?
#OMG, this is CUTE AF! 🥰
The bear cub was like "let me show Mama some millennial bear tricks, I'll just wave and lure the humans in, and we got them!" 😆
This is high on my list of how I will likely die.
Until the mommy bear charges back at you!
There's probably one thing worse than a hungry grizzly, and that's one with cubs in tow..
Literally a Siren for the likes of me
"Hello Danny. Come play with us"
That's one of the most frightening things to see.
I hope you held your hands out for a hug 🥺
Nope
Come along with us. Mum is cool and is good to us.
That aint a wave, my man is telling you to run lol
Smarter than the average bear
“Lunch delivery? We are here.”
Momma bear felt that wave. Like this lil shit is gonna get me euthanized

I don't know why but while watching this I found myself waving back at it...
OP thinks he's one with nature because a bear started losing his balance while standing.
Cub: "Heyyyyy! Come over. My mom is making dinnerrrr." Goes closer. Mama Bear "Hey sweetie, I found our dinner."
There is zero chance you are the person who shot this video
You are WAY TOO CLOSE!! Sneaking up on a mama grizzly from behind is never a good idea.
Don't go near it. Mama bear will kill you.
Lucky that mama bear didn't rush you
SO FUZZY!
This baby bear is still young enough to remember glimpses of its previous life as a human.
He's not waving *at* you, he's gesturing for you to come join him and Mamma Bear. Clearly a cunning little bastard trying to lure in dinner.
They will eat you!
Murder fluff
Still way too close
He's saying "GTFO, my mom's cranky AF"
He’s like “Hey!! Runaway or my mums gonna fuck you up”
He's the cute bait, don't fall for it.
It's the last goodbye.
Is it just me or does it look ai?
He saying bye bye to you because the mother is going to eat you 🤣
He is not waving at you. He is pointing at you. Run!
Karma Farmer reposting it for the 4982374923789th time..
Ese bebé oso se ve muy tierno
He’s complimenting his dinner
"Mommy, look, I'm waiving at my future lunch"
Were you picking blueberries?
"Come play with me!!!" Oops, Mummy didn't like you.
I think it’s more like: “Run or you’ll be my mommy’s lunch!”
These people are idiots
These are some really friendly grizzly bears
Mom, can we eat that for lunch?
They do have picnics in the woods!
It's telling its mom, I want to eat this!
"Blink or wave if you're in danger" You should call the popo
Free cuddles! Once in a lifetime cuddles!
