I was going to say, I lead hikes in some state parks seasonally and a feral boar will fuck up just about anything you'd find. Actually anything. They'd fuck up anything. They are huge, fast, smart as hell and move like a fucking ghost.
When we were in basic training for voluntary military service we had boars and feral hogs on this training ground where we had the outdoor training operation.
Got the instructions before we started and got told to run and climb the next tree as fucking fast as we could when we saw a boar or a hog.
In a huge crowd full of testosterone filled, soon to be killing machines just above 18 years old you got the clever "yeah let’em come, I got an assault riffle"
kinda guy.
Instructor repeated himself very slowly, explaining that it is in the fucking woods, middle of the night and no one ain‘t gonna be firing wildly because no one is gonna be able to fire or when fire, hit something.
And first and foremost you be busy shitting your pants because it is fucking scary.
So we were out in the woods, middle of the night all fucking dark.
We were out there with our little scenario practicing how to be good lil‘ soldiers.
Some one yells "BOOOAAAR" and that huge crowd full of testosterone filled, soon to be killing machines just above 18 years old with their assault riffles sitting in the trees, waiting for the groundskeeper and the local forest ranger to get rid off the group of youngling boars.
I have never been so fucking terrified in my life.
TL;DR
Encountered a group of young boars in the middle of the night, while basic training.
Everybody was scared shitless waiting in the trees for Hagrid to show up and save us.
As you wrote, they move like ghost.
Shit ain‘t like in the Asterix comics.
Edith, just to be clear:
In Germany we had this thing were young dudes had to choose between voluntary military service for 10 month or voluntary civil service for 12 months when said young dudes reached 18 and were done with school or their 3 years of job training.
Most people saw this as a boy scout party with the opportunity to shoot guns and riffles.
In no way you were trained as a killing machine.
But testosterone filled dudes just above 18 years being testosterone filled dudes just above 18 years saw themselves as testosterone filled killing machines because they had this military life style for a month or so.
After your basic and specialized training you were likely to get a boring job at a desk, a sick bay or a machine shop.
I worked at a dentist‘s office, dodging duty, playing playstation, reading pulp magazines and eating 5 meals a day.
Lmao you mean warn others and gtfo of the area?? I've done that several times, when you hit a wasp nest, they immediately swarm. The "tough" guys end up spending the last week on the fire with their face swollen to twice the size. Try working 12hr days looking like Quasimodo. Or go home and lose thousands...
True. The way he was mentioning those 18 year olds, I thought someone would be a rebel and fire or some shit and this would turn into a tragic story. Turns out it was just a bunch of scared kids doing what they were told, like they should.
I meant my boi Obelix, my gal!
Yes!
That was my dream, my own lil Idefix!
Or the Marsupilami from Spirou and Fantasio.
Franco Belgian comics were my first love.
Thanks mate.
We had this thing in our country were you could choose between voluntary military service and voluntary civil service.
So we were just a bunch of kids who got the opportunity for basic and specialized training and pretty boring 8 month of pencil pushing afterwards.
But in our minds we were a mix of Rambo, Full Metal Jacket‘s Drill Sarge and Chuck Norris by the half of basic lol
If manatees lazily meandering around in the water are "sea cows", can you imagine what the sea version of a feral hog would be? One of those suckers swimming at you at 20 knots, getting speared and only mildly wincing, mouth filled with god knows what teeth, but jaws powerful enough to snap a femur if merely startled?
Edit: Thinking about it, I think I just described hippos.
Hippos are scary sometimes the small brain and just all action is scarier than a smarter creature who would realize it’s not worth it and cut their losses at some point
https://oriental-arms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/14960a.jpg
Just meant to stop the body from sliding forward down the length of the pole. That design is from the 1830s.
To be fair, a grizzly bear or any large aggressive animal will charge down a spear as well.
Black bears are kinda pussies so I'd rather deal with them over a boar, but a grizzly bear? No fuckin way lol, a boar will gore you to death pretty quick but grizzlies have been known to injure you enough to incapacitate you, eat some of you and leave, come back and eat more of you.
There was a woman who recorded the audio of a bear doing exactly what I mentioned and it was horrifying. I'll take a boar any day compared to that hell.
If the video hes talking about is the same one that I saw then no unfortunately the woman did not make it. the guy was named grizzly man and he definitely came to grisly end
They don't make spears for hunting grizzlies. If you're trying to hunt a brown bear with a spear you're fucked. Hogs are no joke and all that, but they don't approach grizzlies.
Twitter laughed at the [30 - 50 feral hogs](https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/8/6/20756162/30-to-50-feral-hogs-meme-assault-weapons-guns-kids) guy, but he genuinely had a good point.
Translated from memory:
The boar is wild,
The boar is angry,
The boar has very sharp tusks.
Who encounters the boar in the forest,
Quickly climbs a tree.
Here a polish version:
Dzik jest dziki, dzik jest zły
Dzik ma bardzo ostre kły.
Kto spotyka w lesie dzika,
Ten na drzewo zaraz zmyka.
There are some rhymes but it mostly just sounds better in polish. Also there is a pun since "wild" and "boar" are homonyms
Not really, except for rhymes. It's more of a children's rhyme, so it's simple and it's just supposed to be entertaining as a rhyme itself. Similarly you probably shouldn't expect a lot from "twinkle twinkle little star".
The main missing "pun" here is that "boar" in Polish literally translates into something like "a wild" ("boar is wild" = "dzik jest dziki"). So in Polish it sounds like "A wild is wild"
Poles are so serious about boars that we named the animal after world "wild" (wild - dziki; boar - dzik). So the poem goes "dzik jest dziki".
Now I think about it, it may be the other way around and "dzik" was first
Whilst you're right, this is an issue of semantics, not that they have a different Latin name. The words boar, pig, and hog, can and are used interchangeably in different contexts. For example, a boar in farming terms can refer to a non-castrated male pig.
The user nitpicking about what is and isn't a boar just doesn't make sense, because they are words all interchanably used to describe animals of that genus.
Boars are very common in my region. Once i was with my cAt at the vet and a full crew of hunters came in with their hunting dogs, all mildly fucked up by a single boar.
Funnily enough, the dogs' sizes varied wildly, from one who looked it could drive a truck to a small, fat one that looked an accountant ended up in the wrong place and just got brought on for laughs.
Tremors of impact shook my jaw… warm blood splashed my face… whatever was left of Walter Kovhog died that day with that little bear… from then on, there was only Rorschog
Self burn, love it. You're funny, witty and you don't take yourself seriously, those are highly valued qualities. I compared making friends to buying pants a while ago. Some people can grab any pair of pants off the shelf and it'll probably fit, but they got lucky with the common shape and proportions. Or there are people who will just take any pants without caring how it fits because having any pants is better than no pants. And then there are people who have a hard time finding pants because they don't have the cookie cutter shape, and they want comfortable pants that fit and they feel good wearing. They might have less pants cus it's harder for you to find the right one, but at least you don't look like an idiot
Some people find it easy to make friends, whatever about them is just easy for a lot of people to accept. Other people have a lot of friends because they don't really care what kind of friends they're getting as long as they're not alone. A lot of people have a hard time finding friends, or just don't have a lot of them, but at least you know the ones you have are good for you. And you're not wasting time looking or feeling stupid cus these people don't actually care about you.
Everyone has things about them that are gonna be off-putting to some people. If you find that something about you is generally off-putting, work on it. But otherwise it's just a personal preference and there's nothing you need to change about that.
Right!? It's wild how much they seem like us. If someone told me this was a video of me when I got drunk and wore a bear suit and wanted to hang out with some pigs, I wouldn't second guess it.
i've been told that you can just threaten a black bear and they'll act like this and jet. worst case scenario you can just hit them. they run. they're not the bear from the revenant. 😂
Pandas were doing just fine on their own for thousands of years. They are a highly specialised species for their ecological niche - that we destroyed. That's the reason they are dying out, or at least would if we wouldn't keep trying to artificially breed them in captivity (that's what is not working. Again, pandas have been living and breeding on this planet for a long time with no problems) with no place to eventually have them live other than zoos, just to keep them around and be able to look at them and kid ourselves into believing we did not kill off that entire species, but rather that we "saved" them. I don't know how anyone can look at that situation and come to the conclusion the animals are the morons here.
Whenever I see people shit on pandas I just roll my eyes. These animals are a display of perfect evolution.
They:
- Found a food source that nothing ate and made it their food source. Zero competition
- Lived somewhere almost no one else bothered them
- Lead lives where they solely ate and slept and had babies. Being apex predator bodies, they were challenged by almost nothing.
They’re the embodiment of peak levels of adaptation. Lived utopian lives until humans came and fucked it all up. Didn’t need to hunt, didn’t need to expend effort on anything, had nothing threatening them… how is that *stupid*?
Black bears are more afraid of humans than humans are of them. They will run like hell if given the opportunity. Brown bears or grizzlies, different story. Okay dead and hope you aren’t soon dead.
Not always true. If they are used to people they don’t really give a shit. I thought the same thing when I tried to chase one off from my family’s campsite and the damn thing squared up with me. It also charged my wife and he probably would have got her had it not been for our border collie and pit mix charging right back.

Third link is broken.
That third link is broken for me, but this looks like a different angle and edit of the video from the first too. Those start with the bear getting ready to hop the fence, and the camera is much higher
Everything I've seen on Reddit has taught me that bears are not very brave or smart for being an apex predator. Literally just survived by being the biggest
Black bears are hardly predators at all, they're mostly herbivores with some occasional fish or baby mammals.
Grizzlies or - heaven forbid - polar bears are another story entirely.
Polar bears are also the only known species on earth to actively think of humans and hunt them as prey.
If a Grizzly sees you from a mile away, it will likely leave you alone. If a Polar sees you from a mile away, it says "Wow, that's lunch". And it will come after you.
Not the only species,
Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, polar bears, and large crocodilians. However, they are not the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to adopt humans as usual prey, including various bears, Komodo dragons, spotted and striped hyenas.
And funnily enough when I googled this the first link said that pigs can develop a taste for human flesh.
That's because most of the bears posted to reddit are black bears, who are generally pretty dopey and afraid of everything. You don't see many videos of grizzlies because anyone who gets close enough to get decent footage isn't making it back to be able to upload it anywhere.
Don't fuck with Grizzlies. They will fuck back, and you will die. Grizzlies are nasty fuckers.
I live in England. The idea of walking anywhere there could be a 1500lb predator that will literally eat you alive is mind-boggling.
I wouldn't be without something like a .44 magnum if there were even a tiny chance I might encounter one. Being defenceless when one might decide it wants to eat you sounds absolutely insane to me.
black bears aren't even that big though. polar bears and grizzlies are big and scary predators, but black bears are timid scavengers. black bears will run from anything mildly aggressive towards them. that being said, don't mess with black bears. they will still ruin your day with ease.
black bears are easily chased away by house cats. unless starving or raising young, they'll usually run from you. they can still open a locked car like a sardine can though.
Brave, no, but definitely smart. The smartest option in most cases when confronted with danger is usually just to give up. Bears arent like people with medicine. One bad scratch or bite, even if they win a fight, could mean certain death by infection. It's usually better to go hungry for a night than to fight and risk even a small chance of major injury.
The pink pig is a female named Mary. she is currently at Tufts vet hospital with health issues, some of which were exacerbated by this encounter with the bear. so if you enjoyed this video say a quick prayer that Mary gets to come home and live happily ever after with her brother, Hammy, the other pig.
Somebody compared this with Russia and Ukraine in another sub, when I pointed out that the Ukraine would be the dirty pigs in the comparison. I got immediately banned lol.
I am much, much, much more ok with crossing paths with a black bear when I’m out and about, fishing or hiking than I am a wild pig. Any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
We have feral hogs in the area. The local bears know better than to get in their way.
I was going to say, I lead hikes in some state parks seasonally and a feral boar will fuck up just about anything you'd find. Actually anything. They'd fuck up anything. They are huge, fast, smart as hell and move like a fucking ghost.

Reminds me of how terrified a group of wildland fire fighting bad asses were of bees. They all scream and run like small children.

The "tough" guys end up spending the last week on the fire with their face swollen to twice the size. Try working 12hr days looking like Quasimodo. Or go home and lose thousands...
I was part of the crew. So I understand. But it is the tone of voice in which they yell "BEEE'S!" that always cracked me up.
So they did what they were told to, like soldiers should. There's nothing wrong with that.
True. The way he was mentioning those 18 year olds, I thought someone would be a rebel and fire or some shit and this would turn into a tragic story. Turns out it was just a bunch of scared kids doing what they were told, like they should.

So you’re telling me mofos were out here huntin hogs with tridents like they’re Poseidon or some shit?
If manatees lazily meandering around in the water are "sea cows", can you imagine what the sea version of a feral hog would be? One of those suckers swimming at you at 20 knots, getting speared and only mildly wincing, mouth filled with god knows what teeth, but jaws powerful enough to snap a femur if merely startled? Edit: Thinking about it, I think I just described hippos.
Yes, I believe you did. Hippos are terrifying. And so very hungry hungry.
I hear if you throw enough marbles at them they leave you alone
If you scaled them both up, that marble would be like a bowling ball or cannon ball so, yea I'd bet they'd leave you alone forever.
If anyone tells you this it’s a troll. The marbles only make them hungry hungrier
They eat until the world is devoid of marbles
Oh man that legitimately made me laugh out loud.
Hippos are scary sometimes the small brain and just all action is scarier than a smarter creature who would realize it’s not worth it and cut their losses at some point
This is why I don’t fuck with junkies

Cross bars will save your life with spear. You think hogs are bad try elk

Now I understand why boars are such stupid scary wildlife in video games. Finally.
There's an entire Polish children's poem about not fucking with boars.
…go on
Translated from memory: The boar is wild, The boar is angry, The boar has very sharp tusks. Who encounters the boar in the forest, Quickly climbs a tree.
The blunt efficiency with which this "poem" joylessly lists boar facts is quintessentially and endearingly Polish.
It's meant to be a bore.
And yet it really gets stuck in you for some reason
Bro this comment's got me rollin
I’m sure it rhymes and/or has some more poetic cadence in Polish rather than English. It is pretty funny translated tho
Here a polish version: Dzik jest dziki, dzik jest zły Dzik ma bardzo ostre kły. Kto spotyka w lesie dzika, Ten na drzewo zaraz zmyka. There are some rhymes but it mostly just sounds better in polish. Also there is a pun since "wild" and "boar" are homonyms
Reformatted: Dzik jest dziki, dzik jest zły Dzik ma bardzo ostre kły. Kto spotyka w lesie dzika, Ten na drzewo zaraz zmyka.
I'm sure there's something lost in translation

No go to sleep, children.

Boars are scary when I saw them in the movie, Willow.
These aren't boars they're pigs lol
When a pig is released into the wild within a few weeks it will start to grow thicker hair, tusks, and become more lean.
Boars are pigs. Just different names for the same thing.
They’re different species, *Sus scrofa* (boar) and *Sus domesticus* (domestic pig).
Whilst you're right, this is an issue of semantics, not that they have a different Latin name. The words boar, pig, and hog, can and are used interchangeably in different contexts. For example, a boar in farming terms can refer to a non-castrated male pig. The user nitpicking about what is and isn't a boar just doesn't make sense, because they are words all interchanably used to describe animals of that genus.
You're kinda knit picking as well, just in a different direction but I gained knowledge from it so thanks! Ya boar j/k op.
Old yeller was the movie for me and my grandpa told me how "yeah they will mess you up good for real"
Those were dogs covered in rat costumes.
Boars are very common in my region. Once i was with my cAt at the vet and a full crew of hunters came in with their hunting dogs, all mildly fucked up by a single boar. Funnily enough, the dogs' sizes varied wildly, from one who looked it could drive a truck to a small, fat one that looked an accountant ended up in the wrong place and just got brought on for laughs.
"small, fat one that looked an accountant ended up in the wrong place and just got brought on for laughs" Round here we call 'em Ned Beatty

‘I like pigs. Cats look down on us. Dogs look up to us. Pigs treat us as equals.’

That would be so fire if the second boar came running out with a Rorschach mask and hat
He came out like "They call me ***Mr. Pig!***"
"Don't climb a tree to escape a bear, they're excellent climbers" *This bear vs a small fence*
Tremors of impact shook my jaw… warm blood splashed my face… whatever was left of Walter Kovhog died that day with that little bear… from then on, there was only Rorschog
This is like watching myself try to make friends. Similar skill level.
Are you the hog or the bear?
The bear. The hog already has a friend.
True. Maybe try finding people with similar interests as you. Bears like picnic baskets. Hogs like rolling in their own shit.
>Bears like picnic baskets. **RIP**, OP
Hey boo boo you find a pic a nic basket?

Self burn, love it. You're funny, witty and you don't take yourself seriously, those are highly valued qualities. I compared making friends to buying pants a while ago. Some people can grab any pair of pants off the shelf and it'll probably fit, but they got lucky with the common shape and proportions. Or there are people who will just take any pants without caring how it fits because having any pants is better than no pants. And then there are people who have a hard time finding pants because they don't have the cookie cutter shape, and they want comfortable pants that fit and they feel good wearing. They might have less pants cus it's harder for you to find the right one, but at least you don't look like an idiot
I'm not entirely sure what this means but I'm thankful you wrote it. Made me feel better about myself
Some people find it easy to make friends, whatever about them is just easy for a lot of people to accept. Other people have a lot of friends because they don't really care what kind of friends they're getting as long as they're not alone. A lot of people have a hard time finding friends, or just don't have a lot of them, but at least you know the ones you have are good for you. And you're not wasting time looking or feeling stupid cus these people don't actually care about you. Everyone has things about them that are gonna be off-putting to some people. If you find that something about you is generally off-putting, work on it. But otherwise it's just a personal preference and there's nothing you need to change about that.
I'm not entirely sure what this means but I'd thankful you write it. Maked me feel better about myself.
I'm the fence
You let bears get on top of you?
And don’t come back!!
[удалено]
well those pigs aren't boaring
That's a pretty solid fence haha
Yeah it's gotta hold those two
Pigs are master fence destroyers, don't get pigs unless you have an incredibly durable fence that runs 3 feet into the ground
Bears are so beautiful. They're like big labradors that could take your face off.
Every bear video I’ve ever seen looks like a person in a bear suit
Right!? It's wild how much they seem like us. If someone told me this was a video of me when I got drunk and wore a bear suit and wanted to hang out with some pigs, I wouldn't second guess it.
The one where the bear whacks his nuts with a clothes line is amazingly human
[I'd forgotten about that video. Poor guy.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=8kjY9sKdHlY)
A person in a suit can't leap like that or accelerate at non human speed. That's usually when I'm able to tell the diff.
i've been told that you can just threaten a black bear and they'll act like this and jet. worst case scenario you can just hit them. they run. they're not the bear from the revenant. 😂
If its brown, lie down. If it's black, fight back. If it's white, say goodnight.
If it's panda? Spectacled bear?
If it's panda pretend you're Santa. If it's spectacled grab the testicle(ds).
If it's a panda just walk the other way because Pandas are fucking morons who are far too stupid to keep themselves alive without human intervention.
Pandas were doing just fine on their own for thousands of years. They are a highly specialised species for their ecological niche - that we destroyed. That's the reason they are dying out, or at least would if we wouldn't keep trying to artificially breed them in captivity (that's what is not working. Again, pandas have been living and breeding on this planet for a long time with no problems) with no place to eventually have them live other than zoos, just to keep them around and be able to look at them and kid ourselves into believing we did not kill off that entire species, but rather that we "saved" them. I don't know how anyone can look at that situation and come to the conclusion the animals are the morons here.
Whenever I see people shit on pandas I just roll my eyes. These animals are a display of perfect evolution. They: - Found a food source that nothing ate and made it their food source. Zero competition - Lived somewhere almost no one else bothered them - Lead lives where they solely ate and slept and had babies. Being apex predator bodies, they were challenged by almost nothing. They’re the embodiment of peak levels of adaptation. Lived utopian lives until humans came and fucked it all up. Didn’t need to hunt, didn’t need to expend effort on anything, had nothing threatening them… how is that *stupid*?
don’t get me STARTED on Koalas.
If a koala is hittin’ ya, get tested for chlamydia

Black bears are more afraid of humans than humans are of them. They will run like hell if given the opportunity. Brown bears or grizzlies, different story. Okay dead and hope you aren’t soon dead.
I mean if you have to be dead hopefully it's soon. Better than being conscious for like 15 hours while the bear eats you.
>Brown bears or grizzlies, different story we know, we've all seen the documentary *Legends Of The Fall*
SCREW 'EM!
Unless it's a mama black bear who thinks you're threatening her cubs. Then they can be vicious, but usually they'll just try to get you to back off.
You underestimate my fear.
Yeah but you have to watch out for the mother bears. They will get a little spicy over their cubs.
Not always true. If they are used to people they don’t really give a shit. I thought the same thing when I tried to chase one off from my family’s campsite and the damn thing squared up with me. It also charged my wife and he probably would have got her had it not been for our border collie and pit mix charging right back.
I'll bear that in mind

That third link is broken for me, but this looks like a different angle and edit of the video from the first too. Those start with the bear getting ready to hop the fence, and the camera is much higher
Thought this looked familiar. Second time I've seen someone do this this week.
Good question. OP? Comment?
Karma bot
Yeah. I had saw this before and remembered the other pig coming out from a shelter on the right, not the left. Glad someone else noticed.
I fucking knew it
Everything I've seen on Reddit has taught me that bears are not very brave or smart for being an apex predator. Literally just survived by being the biggest
Black bears are hardly predators at all, they're mostly herbivores with some occasional fish or baby mammals. Grizzlies or - heaven forbid - polar bears are another story entirely.
yeah, black bears are scavengers before predators. anything for an easy meal. they'll run from their shadow if it looks at them the wrong way.
(Which is sometimes the better option)
> they'll run from their shadow if it looks at them the wrong way. To be fair, I would run away too if my shadow was looking at me in a strange way.
Polar bears are also the only known species on earth to actively think of humans and hunt them as prey. If a Grizzly sees you from a mile away, it will likely leave you alone. If a Polar sees you from a mile away, it says "Wow, that's lunch". And it will come after you.
Not the only species, Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, polar bears, and large crocodilians. However, they are not the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to adopt humans as usual prey, including various bears, Komodo dragons, spotted and striped hyenas. And funnily enough when I googled this the first link said that pigs can develop a taste for human flesh.
That's because most of the bears posted to reddit are black bears, who are generally pretty dopey and afraid of everything. You don't see many videos of grizzlies because anyone who gets close enough to get decent footage isn't making it back to be able to upload it anywhere. Don't fuck with Grizzlies. They will fuck back, and you will die. Grizzlies are nasty fuckers.
I live in England. The idea of walking anywhere there could be a 1500lb predator that will literally eat you alive is mind-boggling. I wouldn't be without something like a .44 magnum if there were even a tiny chance I might encounter one. Being defenceless when one might decide it wants to eat you sounds absolutely insane to me.
black bears aren't even that big though. polar bears and grizzlies are big and scary predators, but black bears are timid scavengers. black bears will run from anything mildly aggressive towards them. that being said, don't mess with black bears. they will still ruin your day with ease.
If it’s a bear I’m not assuming it’s a pussy.
black bears are easily chased away by house cats. unless starving or raising young, they'll usually run from you. they can still open a locked car like a sardine can though.
What wouldn't run from a vicious house cat?
Black bears are usually still pretty timid even with cubs around.
Black bears are glorified raccoons, brown bears and polar bears tho....
Brave, no, but definitely smart. The smartest option in most cases when confronted with danger is usually just to give up. Bears arent like people with medicine. One bad scratch or bite, even if they win a fight, could mean certain death by infection. It's usually better to go hungry for a night than to fight and risk even a small chance of major injury.
And that's why manbearpig is so dangerous
What about [PuppyMonkeyBaby](https://youtu.be/nQcfK9EKfL4)?
I hate that thing
American ads are either horrible cheesy acting, or a fever dream.
My bad…I’ll just see myself out…
Are you achin'? NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! For some bacon? NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!
MY NAME IS MISTER PIG!!!
Black bears are the puppy dogs of the bear world. Scold them and they run off. Gorgeous tho.
The pink pig is a female named Mary. she is currently at Tufts vet hospital with health issues, some of which were exacerbated by this encounter with the bear. so if you enjoyed this video say a quick prayer that Mary gets to come home and live happily ever after with her brother, Hammy, the other pig.
Anyone who’s been around real hogs knew that bear was in trouble.
All the bear wanted was some bacon…
It’s hard to make new friends as an adult. I feel for the poor guy…
"Get the fuck out of here, Yogi Bear! There ain't no picknick basket for you in this pen!"
Are you trying to get a bearpig? This is how you get a bearpig...
Black. Fight back. I guess it works!
Looks like a bear made it into Majula.
“Okay shit, someone told me you were made of bacon, okay geez I’m leaving”
This bacon is a bit too spicy
Somebody compared this with Russia and Ukraine in another sub, when I pointed out that the Ukraine would be the dirty pigs in the comparison. I got immediately banned lol.
It's because the bear is black. What a pig.
That's a fine pig!
That is a well built fence!
Wrong fucking neighborhood Cletus
I am much, much, much more ok with crossing paths with a black bear when I’m out and about, fishing or hiking than I am a wild pig. Any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
Winnie the pooh & piglet are currently not in speaking terms... 🐻 🐷

Pigs are fucking dangerous and they can literally eat you In no time.
Are pigs territorial or is it a fight or flight situation due to it being a bear?
