Its a black bear, aren't these the ones you can scare off pretty easily and are quite docile?
Black fight back. Brown lay down. White good night.
Black and white? Don't fight. Grey? Stay away. Green? Remain unseen. Plaid? That's real bad. Red? That's just Fred. Clear? Oh dear... Orange? Make some...more...whinge?
Orange... Throw a door hinge??
Grab your four inch.
It's... I'm just kinda chilly.
Hire a tour guide so you don't have to worry about remembering wrong.
Yes, black bears are the more docile compared to grizzlies. You are supposed to try to scare them off if you aren’t able to avoid them.
This one looks young enough that it’s 50/50 on whether mom is near by though. They should have gotten up and left while it was distracted by their food.
Usually yes, but it kinda depends on the bear. Some are so habituated to humans that they won't actually give much of a shit if you start shouting at them. I wouldn't be surprised if this bear has spent a lot of time dumpster diving and/or stealing food from campsites, to the point where it doesn't bother wild foraging anymore and it is not longer concerned by humans and the noises they make. For a bear like that it might be necessary for a game warden or park ranger to tranquilize the bear so it can be relocated to a more remote area. Such a relocation might actually be a death sentence for the bear though, if it never really learned how to survive in the wild.
Edit: I'm actually staying in an area right now that has a significant black bear population. All of the garbage cans are bear-proof, and there are stiff fines for leaving unsecured food or waste accessible to the bears. It's all part of an effort to avoid having bears end up like the one in the video.
Well, being myself Mexican, and this incident happening in Mexico, we as a country and as population are totally uneducated in wild life matters, so I can almost assure you that this type of incidents surely happen quite frequently, so that's why I think the bear is so chill eating besides humans.
Where I'm from in Canada, we've had lots of problems with black bears in areas where housing overlaps bear habitats. There's more emphasis now on not creating "problem" bears by avoiding the conditions that would cause them to become habituated to humans and food-conditioned. It's still an issue but at least there's a lot more awareness now.
What city?
I sense some bullets in that bear's future. It's generally not good for the bears to be that comfortable around humans when they're fully grown.
I live in Alaska, and if a bear starts getting in close to town too much it gets killed. A bit of behavioral evolution in real time, since they rarely come into town now, and generally only briefly (still not comfortable around humans).
While I'm mildly disappointed that the bears have started making mother and son tacos, I am glad they were able to remain calm while being eaten.
TODAY'S THE DAY THE TEDDY BEARS HAVE THEIR PIIIICC-NIC!
LOL!
What a pathetic father. Both people in the video are clearly distressed, but dad's gotta get those Twitter likes or some shit.
How do you know it's father?
Another mother..?
They easily could have and should have scared that little cub off. I live near Yellowstone and every year some dunderhead tries to get a selfie with a bear or a wolf or whatever so I'm not sure why I'm surprised. A few years ago some folks even put a bison calf in their car on a cold night to help keep it warm? I guess? And the herd ended up rejecting him and they put him down to spare him starvation.
Look, that's sad and all but I will note that there's a hotel restaurant in Yellowstone that serves bison veal.
Well the hospitality is managed by a private corporation and they definitely aren't using any animals from the park but the irony of that is pretty excellent lmao
It's a testament to the rich cullinary delights of Mexico's culture, even creatures that don't know what it is know that it's delicious. The people should be proud.
Well, at least it’s an amazing story that they were able to get on film. And it only cost them some tacos and a couple pairs of underwear.
Which is one pair more than usual on taco Tuesday
And the bears life
“I’M GONNA EAT YOU MOTHER FU-
…are those tacos?”
Should have politely asked it to leave like the other bear video on the front page.
Damn, my daughter was just exactly there a couple of weeks ago and we live in Ohio. That bear is going to grow up to be a nuisance and will probably be out down some day.
Soo... what am I supposed to do in that case?
Pretty sure you gotta eventually order a new batch of tacos
Typical with black bears scare them away, in this case it appears to be a problem bear that has been accustomed to humans due to people feeding it resulting in them not fearing people. For them likely walk away get help.
Scare it away or leave as it munches. It's a cub so I probably wouldn't try scaring it in case mommy is nearby but it's a black bear so you've got a good chance of keeping all your body parts.
at the very least I think you want to ease up out of there while there is still plenty of food to focus on
at some point that bear is probably going to want to try and lick some fingers if it’s still looking for food
Walk away
"Go away! Go away! Stay tuned for an all-new Ally McBeal!"
Drop a boulder on it.
I mean while I am not going to try and fight a bear, I would like to think that I would put down the phone and distract it while my family gets away from it.
Look at me, these are my tacos now.
Bear's gotta fatten up for winter.
But the chips and salsa, too?! Rude.
Coke marketing department is heartbroken.
Coal in their stockings for sure.
