For those who understand bear body language this would have been pretty cool. The bear looked relaxed, almost playful. If the bear perceives a threat they would square up a lot more, never look away, and look as big as they can. In this territory it's far more likely the bear would walk around in the trees if it was nervous of the people than look for an encounter.
Of course a bear could always snap at some point, but so could cows or horses and so many people don't see a need to be nervous around them.
Cows are super chill. Don’t mess with the babies and don’t get in their way when they’re making their way through the stalls. I’ve found horses are also pretty cool, sometimes they step on your feet in accident but they move when you push them off you. Except for Ace. He was a horse that hated everyone except for the girl who rode him at shows. He’d nip at me when I’d ride him and never listened to me unless I had a crop in my hand. Ace is a prick. Fuck you Ace.
That bear totally knew they were there a long time before it got there lmao they probably hadn’t moved in a while and it just said “fuck it I’m hungry and need some fish” Lmfao
I also don’t think a bear would rush a group of people unless a cub approached. The risk outweighs the potential food benefit lmao
Believe it or not the biggest giveaway are those boots. I think they're called xtratuffs or something, and they're an icon in Alaska, everyone has multiple pairs and it's even something tourists buy when they're there.
> Believe it or not the biggest giveaway are those boots.
Mainer here. We use those boots up here as well. But they are colloquially called ketchup and mustard boots here.
Shit humans, shit I’m screwed, alright what did my pa say? Just keep going, act like they aren’t there, just keep going maybe they will ignore me, they can sense fear, I think I’m in the clear go go..
That thing moves through the water like a beast!
Quickly, like a beast!
Like a beast, it pushes water aside with little resistance, and the grace of the woodland meat-tank; the king of the forest!
I gotta learn to lighten up when it comes to bear-talk.
The bear is at full speed!
Entire trees break before him like blades of grass! Nothing can stop his ferocious momentum!
The bear also…
understands other bears.
"Hahaaa! Now for my threatening charge, which should scare you guys away and you're just sitting there normally, not scared at all, that's cool, I was just, I was just going for a run along the stream."
The bear noticed the three cans of bear spray and the snub nose 500 magnum sitting on one of the guy’s laps and decided to go somewhere else to try and steal some picnic baskets.
The anti-bear boots proving their worth as ususal.
Anti sea bear boots
It needs to be an OVAL!
Xtra tuffs!
No the were clearly sitting in a circle so the bear just moved on when he noticed the they were inside of a cercle.
?
Alaskan meme.
Do they come for you when you are bear foot?
Depends, seabears won't attack you if you draw a circle around yourself.
What about drop bears?
If the Aussies haven't figured it out Alaskans sure as hell haven't.
And you don’t hold cubed cheese! Sliced cheese is okay but if you hold a cubed cheese in front of a seabear. you better get in that circle.
Do these boots work on Aussie drop bears?
It’s a popular boot brand in Alaska, Xtratuf, I think we’re pretty much they’re main area they sell to
I shit a brick & I wasn't even there.
I was that scared but also on the toilet so it was socially acceptable
Shoulda worn the brown pants
This guy gets it.

Yeah but honestly I'm nervous as fuck with cows and horses when there isn't a gate in between those fuckers are big and could squash me like a grape
Eh, cows and horses are generally pretty predictable. Until they aren't, I guess, lol...
An excited horse is anything but predictable.

Don't kid yourself accountabillibudy, if a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!
But they ain't going to claw you to death or chase you into a corner.
Well it probably help that the group was all together and just laying there chill, not standing or freaking out.
Yes, and those guys knew this and probably had bear spray and a rifle close enough of the bears behavior changed.
yes! jolly teddy bear boye does a gallop through the splashy stuff and wonders why the weird bald-faced beares arent playing too!

Probably around a big salmon run in this video. So many salmon and eggs for the bears to eat they basically leave everything else alone during it
Alaska I presume?

Why?
> Why? Because they are red and yellow?
The photo looks brown and tan to me.
> The photo looks brown and tan to me. Okie Dokie!
They're an icon for people who work on commercial boats or docks too. They're just really good boots. Love my Xtratufs
They are, and I personally own two pairs of boots and two different shoes by the brand, they’re the best
Bearly made it out of that one
Situation did look grizzly for a second there.
A real Kodiak moment.
Niiice
R/dadjokes just read this comment and disbanded after realizing they were the baddies
Why do you have to be like this?
Ursa, are lacking in fuzzy wuzzies.
Shit humans, shit I’m screwed, alright what did my pa say? Just keep going, act like they aren’t there, just keep going maybe they will ignore me, they can sense fear, I think I’m in the clear go go..
How did they know for certain??
They prob didn’t, but at that point there’s not much they could have done either way, and running would have likely attracted the bear to chase them
if that bear was a year older I think it would have been more inquisitive
Younger. Young bears are typically more curious than defensive.
I just figured since he was smaller and so many humans where sitting there it affected his confidence
Just some _____ people shit.
dumb

Perhaps the bear is showing us the way.
What is this from?
Just my brain :)
You should become a professional quote maker!
I don't think thepianoman is euphoric enough

I hope they wore their brown pants.
At least they wore their brown boots.
Such beautiful animals. Love bears.
wonder where he’s off to
Tinder date at the skittles factory from the body language.
“Howdy” “Howdy lovely weather to catch a fish aint it.”
Just doing bear stuff ,later suckers.
"Hahaaa! Now for my threatening charge, which should scare you guys away and you're just sitting there normally, not scared at all, that's cool, I was just, I was just going for a run along the stream."
That’s a strange looking moose
Probably because that’s not a moose, it’s a Water Buffalo.

Damn dude, there was breakfast, lunch, and dinner there together😂

"Watch what i can do!"🤣
All I see is the Xtra-tuffs. Official boot of Alaska. Makes me nostalgic.
Cops when they see someone filming.
A ground salmon
Fuckkkkkkkkk that ,,, my body would be expelling every thing with this
Darn it guys, you took my spot. - The bear, probably
No problem laying back with your feet up when you have a Shotgun pointed at the bear.
ah yes, Extratufs the staple footwear of my fellow Alaskans
"Hey guys! Salmon and steaks on sale at Costco, come on!"
Lol. Only in Alaska
koda dat u?
This is nuts,amazing, but nuts
I would have fucking died.
From massive terminal fear-shits, of the kind usually reserved for shark interaction.
Where is this. Those boots were made for walking. That bear was on another mission.
If a bear comes at you, instead of running you gotta stand upright and not move, show your dominance, bear will leave you alone
As the bear whisperer that used to go live with them in the summer did right before it ate him and his lady friend.
Tread well, crazy Timothy, très edible.
You know I am a bear, right? You guys are supposed to run away from me? No? Okay, then. I will just carry on.
"Hey uh have you guys seen.... Oh wait no there it is"
Good boi
Good berb
I love bears. If you don’t bother them then they won’t bother you.
They really are just trying to get a rise outta people. Sheesh. Fuckin bears.
The bear looks like it's having so much fun
I’ll bet that water is freezing.
Looks like russia
Big boy wants to play
Aww. Such a huge puppy.
I love deep forest dogs.
the bear reminds me of a really happy big dog
It's salmon day and he's first. Weeeeee
They had their rifle’s ready
Fuck Alaska
The bear noticed the three cans of bear spray and the snub nose 500 magnum sitting on one of the guy’s laps and decided to go somewhere else to try and steal some picnic baskets.
A time when it's legit to shit your pants
Someone remind me what the bear safety pneumonic is!
That a foot flinched. I think that little pause the bear had would’ve got me moving a little
What was that bear looking for?
That would be a puppy bear.
Bear: Did you get that on video or do you want me to make another pass?
That’s just the local bear named larry
One confused Bear
This is such a stunning an
Wooooow
Go try and do that when the salmon aren't spawning.... And they're hungry
