Hidden cameras are great, they catch the most amazing things! The camera in this video wasn’t a hidden video – but it did record some pretty cool footage of a black bear! Black bears are very common in North America. They live in forests, mountains, or swamps. Black bears eat a wide variety of foods from berries, roots, and grass to fish, mammals and human food and garbage. Takoda is a black bear, he was orphaned in Montana as a baby. He had had too much interaction with humans that it wouldn’t have been safe to release him to the wild. A few years ago Takoda moved to the Oregon Zoo in Portland. The video is of Takoda rolling and splashing in his huge wooden tub! Take a look at this video! Looks like a fun afternoon in the pool! He even enjoys wrestling with the red ball! What a happy new life Takoda now has! Share away, people!

Traditional Chinese medicine uses bile from bears to help cure heart disease, liver problems, and fever. But to get the bile from a bear, the bears are tortured. They are forced to wear a metal vest – a circular metal band that is secured tightly around their abdomens.

Animals do know how to get themselves into trouble and its really not their fault, it’s not like they know what they’re about to do would be dangerous. In 2014 a heartbreaking photo began going viral on the internet – a photo a a bear with his head stuck in a bucket. While this photo was going viral a couple, Dean and Samantha, found out that the bear’s head had been stuck in the bucket for nearly 2 months. They HAD to do something. With the help of other people, Dean and Samantha began their mission to free the poor bear. Rescuing a bear isn’t an easy job and because his head was stuck it was more dangerous for people because the bear would be scared and he may swipe his paw which could injure them. But they didn’t care – all they wanted was to rescue him. Take a look at this video And you know what’s the best part? The best part is that as soon as they were done rescuing the bear they established a canine rescue organization so they can continue to save animals in need...

Alright so this story made me laugh and also made me think about how I would react to a situation like this. Honestly this construction worker had no idea what he was about to see when he turned the corner and so, like any other day, he was busy minding his business and somewhat lost in his own thoughts while he casually walked towards the corner. As soon as he turned, he saw a massive bear waiting there for him! Now, don’t worry. The bear didn’t just come from the wild or anything, in fact, it’s another man wearing a bear costume! I guess they just wanted to see his reaction and they did! The construction worker ran like there’s no tomorrow, afraid that the bear might maul him or run after him. The poor guy also fell down at some point, but still continued to run. Take a look at this video While it’s okay to prank people for the laughs, I think we should be very careful too. This incident happened at a construction site, and luckily no one was hurt. Share away, peo...

When it comes to pool parties, everyone’s excited to be invited. But there are always going to be some party crashers who decide to take over the whole thing for themselves. But when you find out who these crashers are, you won’t be able to find the courage to say no. The video reveals a mama bear and a large number of young bears swimming in the homeowner’s pool. Bears actually really love the water, as it provides an excellent source of fish, but they’re not going to find any here. They try to get on the rafts and a few of the babies even give the slide a try. The little girl sounds extremely concerned when one of the bears starts to make off with her floatie! Take a look at this video! Once they’ve had their fill of fun, it’s off to somewhere else, leaving the water a lot dirtier than when they found it. Share away, people!

When you’re out in nature taking pictures, you hope for the unexpected to happen. It requires a lot of patience to capture these moments, and you never want to miss it. But instead of one man waiting for the right shot, it decided to come to him instead. One wildlife photographer was studying bears and taking pictures when one wandered right up to him to investigate. Normally, a situation like this would call for some caution and probably getting out of the bear’s territory, but the grizzly doesn’t seem to mind the guy being there one bit. Take a look at this video! He even takes a seat near him and absorbs the wonderful view in front of them. This guy was lucky enough to capture such a shot, and although he might have been afraid for his life at the time, it’s a good thing he kept his head throughout this experience. Share away, people!

Driving through a national park can be an exhilarating experience, one that will be remembered for the rest of your life. The tall trees, the fresh air, and being closer to nature can give us a sense of peace that we’ve been looking for for some time. But no one ever expects that they’ll get this close to wildlife. In the middle of the road running through the park, onlookers stopped their cars to watch two baby cubs playing together. It looks a little violent at first, but the longer they watched, the more they realized that it was all in fun. They’re learning very vital skills through this play, ones that that’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives! Take a look at this video! They seemed completely oblivious to the world around them, but the real question is: where was their mother? These onlookers should be glad that she wasn’t somewhere nearby. Share away, people.
