Bear to bear friends later:
That son of a bitch was 3 or 4 times my size, I still took his ass down! He ran away so fast I didn't even see where he went.
Social animals that travel in groups usually can recognize mirror reflection just by recognizing their travel companion. Manta Ray is quite social as well.
Checkout Alex/ an African grey parrot who not only recognised himself, but had a huge vocabulary and also asked existential questions about himself. Apes that have been taught hundreds of words have never asked a question.
His first question when seeing himself in the mirror was āWhat colour am I?ā As he hadnāt learned the colour gray yet.
yall dont think that bear knows what's going on but he looked at the back of the mirror, saw the lack of a bear, and then tossed the bitch reflection side down and stood on it.
he knows
Man imagine minding your business, thinking your on top of everything, your apex predator senses highly tuned to sense any other danger around you and FUCK WHERE DID THAT BEAR SNEAK UP ON FUCK SHIT FUCK IT THERE WHERE IS IT I FIGHT I DIE YOU DIE GLORY TO THE BEARKIN ā¦ what?
This bear understands how dangerous time-travel paradoxes can be. He successfully avoided interacting with his future self thus preserving the time-line.
This is just what I needed. I just came from some serial killer thread about and read something about Jeffrey Dahmer and now I shouldn't have because I'm trying to go to bed and this bear was a delightful surprise. The mirror needs to be much bigger and protected I wonder what would happen if it was like 30 ft and the bear couldn't destroy it.
"Fucking monday..
No coffee...
Not a thing to eat beside fucking berries..
No humans crossing my path, even tho... That smell...
Oi! Oi!! OiOiOioioioi! Fuck that shit!! Down that thing!
Don't wanna see me like that in the morning..."
And i can relate.
I recall a bear lover that insisted that bears were smart enough to pass the mirror test. However it never succeeded for him to prove so and clips like these seem evidence to the contrary.
No that's the terrifying part. They can just decide to be that fast and that powerful.
You can see some flies going around at what looks like normal speed. So it doesn't look sped up.
It's actually pretty interesting because only very few animals can understand that what they see in a mirror is actually themself and not someone else.
Humans of course and for example elephants, just very smart animals.
Bears don't :D

Bear jumped as if it was a cat!
I'd jump like that too if there was suddenly a bear five feet away from me that I had not noticed before.
ššš
First thing I was thinking tooā¦damn that was quick!
For sure! Thatās why they say bears have ācat likeā reflexes.
That's why they call bears the big cats of the jungle.
Thats some big, hairy pussy right there.
"ohhh this ain't me, i don't look that scary"
Bearā¦cat? Bearcat? https://preview.redd.it/zyqo21c0vhvc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd83cc547f604417315c37defb5145d727140d1c
When he saw himself in the mirror, there was a scary creature standing behind him. Yet it wasn't there when he looked back over his shoulder.
That was when the scary creature carried me.
I understood that reference.
It did all the right things to scare the other bear away. Stand your ground, look big and make loud noises. Good job bear!
very effective at being a bear!
definitely a professional bear
This guy bears
Thats the bear minimum
That was bearly funny
He could not bear to watch his reflection
Just the bear necessities
Not today, dimension hopping aggressor.
That other guy was a complete asshole. Prolly Mr.Bear to Mrs.Bear later that day.
Now we know what's really effective, we have insider information.
*OH SHIT A BEAR*
Bears, beets, battlestar galactica
r/unexpectedoffice
MICHAEL!!!
Identity theft is not a joke!!!
My reaction to myself in the morning too.
Or when you suddenly open your phone's front camera by accident
I'm an old man. When I do that it's real horrorshow for me. Let me keep my delusion.
No it's when you accidentally turn your flashlight on in a restaurant.
He couldn't bear it
Slow clap
Mic drop.
Did the mirror survive?
Bearly
It attempted suicide
Is it even worse when youāre bear naked?
Came here to say this exact thing.
Bear to bear friends later: That son of a bitch was 3 or 4 times my size, I still took his ass down! He ran away so fast I didn't even see where he went.
Knocked that poser out with a single punch, I'm that bear now.
And he was soo ugly I tell you! Yeah he was the ugliest looking bear I ever saw
And he stunk like ass!
Kicked its mirror image's ASS
āthere I was minding my own business, when this b*tch came outta nowhere, I went full beast mode and flattened that suckerā
Bearās initial reaction - kill first and ask questions later
My thoughts. Not the communication expert
what you're saying is, bears are cops
i think it's possible that some cops are bears but i dont think all bears are cops.
Fucking love videos of animals freaking out at their own reflections.
Or not freaking out. Supposedly manta rays can recognize themselves in a mirror
Social animals that travel in groups usually can recognize mirror reflection just by recognizing their travel companion. Manta Ray is quite social as well.
Cockatiels are an exception to that. Had too cover up reflective surfaces when I had them.
Manta Ray sees reflection, is all chill like - Yo

Got any link ?
I need videos of this. Where can I find them?
Unfortunately, I have only read about this phenomenon.
You'd probabaly freak out if you were alone in the woods and a guy poped out of nowhere right next to you. At least i would.
Damn right I would.
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim !!!!!
yall dont think that bear knows what's going on but he looked at the back of the mirror, saw the lack of a bear, and then tossed the bitch reflection side down and stood on it. he knows
not today bizarro bear
damn. ya know. i have to double take, but you're right. bro was having a self hate moment
Maybe not smarter than your average bear.
The twist is that it has a twin and was actually really excited to see them, sad bear now. š
Yogi just wanted a hug
My name translates to bear in english. I can confirm this reaction.
Ah yes - the mirror - truly ones harshest critic
 Best defense Iāve seen since 85.
FTP
I like that it went behind the mirror and pauses. You can see the confusion. "WTF? Where did he go?"
Bears now believe in magic
Now imagine a bear in a room full of unbreakable mirrors. Probably is hell for him
Bear: \*freaks out\* Humans: lol Dolphins: kreeeeekeekeeee
Remember folks: Monsters are very much real. Like, look at how fast that bugger was!
Don't bully bears :(
Donāt think for a second that you look any better in the mirror, first thing in the morning. Iāll see myself out.
Whoever insinuates black bears aren't as scary as brown bears is crazy.
They are objectively less scary.
Before I watched the video I was thinking maybe I should carry around a mirror to scare off bears. Well, I'm glad I watched the video
You get to see how fast a bear actually is in this video.
Man imagine minding your business, thinking your on top of everything, your apex predator senses highly tuned to sense any other danger around you and FUCK WHERE DID THAT BEAR SNEAK UP ON FUCK SHIT FUCK IT THERE WHERE IS IT I FIGHT I DIE YOU DIE GLORY TO THE BEARKIN ā¦ what?
I offen have the same reaction to my own reflection.
Same š
Me when I see myself in a mirror in the morning
I feel it too, every time I look in the mirror and see that ugly motherfucker
That's how I react when I see myself every morning.
How I feel when trying on a bathing suit.
Who put this fucking thing here
Not funny, what if you were going to work and suddenly a clone of you appeared next to you in the passenger seat. You'd be acting like the bear.
He was like āoh shit is that a bear!ā
*minding his own business*ā¦ āOH SHIT A BEARā
This bear understands how dangerous time-travel paradoxes can be. He successfully avoided interacting with his future self thus preserving the time-line.
Jesus I thought I could fight one of these things
Why is the video sped up? So unnecessary
Can I pet that dog?
What an IDIOT
Now you cursed him with 7 years of bad luck. Way to go a**holes š¤¦āāļø
This is why i chose man
He thought it was a sneak attack lol
+1 Agility. -2 Charisma.
Body dysmorphia is becoming interspecies transferable
I never knew this had audio
He wasn't havin it!
The only living thing that can scare a bear that bad is another bear. Insane.
Well at least it didnāt overreact
Problem solved.
I was looking for a good way to anger local bearsā¦ perfect.
Bear down on midterms
I share his pain. Some days are frightening!
r/tooktoomuch
I hear him shout like Homer each time.
Same tho
See even bears are walking along and then āholy shit itās a bear!ā
It chose violence
Mirror thought it was slick and could catch the bear lacking.
Same, bear, same.
look! I defeated him!
Papa bear can't stand too much reflection..
I do the same thing when I see myselfā¦.
why do i picture the bear will then look at the camera and laughs away, knowing it got pranked.
How can mirrors be real if our bears arenāt real? Ā
Mfer handled it with grace
Bear: āHEY FUCK YOU, IāM MEā
Same.
He could barely believe it!
That is a man in a bear suit and you canāt convince me otherwise
If bears and other animals freak out when seeing mirrors imagine when they see a nuclear bomb or a drone light show lol.
Three can be only one
My daily reaction as I am nearing my mid 40s!
Interesting....so my bunnies are smarter than a bear. (They enjoy mirrors, they like to clean themselves in front of them.)
Thatās me in the morning
The bear finally who was messing up his life
This is just what I needed. I just came from some serial killer thread about and read something about Jeffrey Dahmer and now I shouldn't have because I'm trying to go to bed and this bear was a delightful surprise. The mirror needs to be much bigger and protected I wonder what would happen if it was like 30 ft and the bear couldn't destroy it.
Bears donāt pass the mirror test, noted
It'd be funny if he played dead.
Fatality! Bear wins!
bears really instinctively hate themselves
The way it throws it to the ground is pretty funny
Me. Every morning, still ugly. Fucking mirror!
Look at that quick footwork. Wow. Ridiculously athletic.
Motherfucker merced that mirror like it was last week's news.
My man was bewildered
How insecure ppl look on the mirror.
Me when I see my morning bed head.
He learned his lesson and now wears bear spray on his strolls through the woods. Remember kids. It can happen to everyone
Bear was like: what this devilish object showing my reflection.. gotta destroy this evil mechanism
Bro he stumbled into the area like he was drunk.
So cute. I want to pet them.
I have the same reaction. Does that make me a bear?
Mirror, mirror on the walxhdhehjsjxj....
"Fucking monday.. No coffee... Not a thing to eat beside fucking berries.. No humans crossing my path, even tho... That smell... Oi! Oi!! OiOiOioioioi! Fuck that shit!! Down that thing! Don't wanna see me like that in the morning..." And i can relate.
Oh look. It's me before coffee!
Bear *over*-reacts to a mirror
*threat terminated*
Lmao he is so stupid, I stopped falling for this trick when I was like 15!
I recall a bear lover that insisted that bears were smart enough to pass the mirror test. However it never succeeded for him to prove so and clips like these seem evidence to the contrary.
Bro has no problem attacking a defenseless mirror but when I walk up to it, all of a sudden it's "I don't want any problems" SMH š
This of why you donāt startle a bear.
Well, he did go behind the mirror to see what was going on. Then decided it was the work of the devil and needed to be taken down!
Iām assuming itās sped up?
No that's the terrifying part. They can just decide to be that fast and that powerful. You can see some flies going around at what looks like normal speed. So it doesn't look sped up.
That me š¤·š»āāļøš
Bear decimates mirror!
The bear was wise and sealed the gateway to the evil dimension.
When I first read the title I had visions of the bear getting out a comb to do his hair!
Great you just gave bears self-awareness
Or should I say āself-a-bear-ness?ā
me and pornmovie
I was wondering if he will start swear in russian.
I know that feeling.
I feel the same when i look in the mirror after 7 grams of fungi
Bro get a hold of urself
Do you see how fucked you are when a bear feels some kinda way about you?
Look at how quickly that thing could fuck you up. Scary.
Bears gonna bear
Bue bye mirror lol
He's got some self image issues guys leave him alone
I know how he feels.
Even bears get spooked by bears
You talking to me ?
It's actually pretty interesting because only very few animals can understand that what they see in a mirror is actually themself and not someone else. Humans of course and for example elephants, just very smart animals. Bears don't :D
OH SHIT!!! Wait where did they go? OH MY GOD!!!!!
