Bear Caught Walking Like a Human Being. But The Reason is Far From Funny.

Bears are adorable. Although they may seem wild at times, they are like any other animals that can amuse us with their tricks and cuteness. They are commonly viewed as a typical four-legged mammal that walk on four legs and thrive in a natural environment.

However, we found this really bizarre video, wherein an Asiatic black bear was caught walking like a true human being! It was on its two legs, and it seemed as if there was a person hidden beneath the furry physique.

Watch the video here:

At first, we thought the video was hilarious and that it was just another crazy animal talent. But when we found out the real reason behind the bear’s unusual stance, we were taken aback. The person who posted the video was veterinarian Eliza Jinata. She explained that the bear exhibited such stance due to a medical condition it developed when it was cruelly treated in a bear bile farm.

“This bear was rescued from bear bile farm where he was kept in tiny cages and fed very little amount of food, only to keep him alive so they could extract his bile liquid. With this living condition it’s not surprising that he’s malnourished, which is shown by how short his legs are and the body size is disproportionately small for his head size. He is much smaller than an adult Asiatic black bear of his age should be. …With his smaller and malnourished body, it is easier for him to stand on his hind leg because his spine can support his light body weight. Standing up and waiting for food slowly became a habit which he does on a daily basis now.”
