Bears can be trained to drive cars and communicate through various means, it's thought they may be as smart as great apes like gorillas. This is why they were a choice circus animal for a long time.

Yes, this should be terrifying information.

They also shit in the woods & wipe their asses with bunny rabbits.

DON’T BELIEVE THE CHARMIN PROPAGANDA

is that a point for or against bears?

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Depends on your bunny rabbit stance, I reckon.

bunny rabbits are a renewable resource.

Unfortunately for the bears, it's duck season, not wabbit season!

I mean… a kid would probably do the same, given the chance, right?

I’m going with For, definitely a point For bears.

A bear on my road has learned to open cars by using the door handle. Pretty amazing. It got into mine, ate something sugary, and left with no damage other than mud absolutely everywhere.

Now I lock my car doors at night with respect for this boss bear.

The right to arm bears...

You can't just get my hopes up and not give us a video of a bear driving a car!!
