WATCH: Rescued Bear Walks Like a Man

I stand corrected bears can walk on two legs. A video gone viral shows a rescued bear in Laos walking on two legs, but there’s a sad explanation for his unique behavior.

    It drives me crazy knowing how many eastern countries treat and exploit wildlife… it seems the few laws they do have make no difference.
    Has anyone here seen the documentary “Racing Extinction”? It’s a great source, yet very sad, for information you will never see on the news or cable networks. Ironically, it should be the most discussed topic on all global media. Why? Our survival is in jeopardy! However, should we be held responsible for our actions?

      Very well said.

      And, yep, that documentary is fantastic—in its accuracy and depiction; it’s actually hard to watch. But, something we should all be forced to endure.

      I would love for the outdoor-loving (clearly and obviously) Bigfoot Community to be more actively outspoken (at the least) for wildlife rights and protection.

      You won’t find a Bigfoot if you don’t have a forest.

    Hey Jaqueline O & Wes

    I haven’t seen ‘Racing Extinction’. Sounds like I should give it a look.
    As far as walking bears go, there are dozens on youtube.
    Many of them are of the same bear, because he walks the streets of a small town in the US, and everyone has a camera these days.
    Bears opening car doors, walking around neighborhoods, none of which had anything to do with bile factories.
    The common denominator is an injury to the front paws.
    The explanation in this video highlighted the Bile factories to evoke a response. That’s cool if they want to make him a poster bear to garner support for ending the practice.

      I love that there’s “dozens” of clear, stable, HD videos of an extremely rare activity (long-distance bipedal locomotion by a bear). Yet, for the supposed thousands of Bigfoots (Bigfeet? Sasquii?) roaming the country, we have zero clear videos.

      You said it perfectly—everyone has an HD camera with them at all times now. So, of course we’d capture even a startlingly rare animal behavior.

      As always, I state this bc I think it’s worth being said. I love this topic and the storytelling involved. The disbelief in reality worries me, though. That’s all.

      I agree i have zero tolerance for cruelty to any animal. I would love to see these rolls reversed. Unfortunately we would be jailed if we did this to another human being, but why does this not work both ways. It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth that people get away with this sort of thing???

    Aside from the cruelty, every time you see a bear walking bipedally they in no way resemble the anecdotal accounts of BF walking. Every time I hear someone say that “are you sure it wasn’t a bear, you know they can walk bipedally ” to me is a ludicrous statement
