Bear Sits at Picnic Table Like Human
A Himalayan black bear was spotted sitting upright like a human at a picnic table while eating a tasty treat at San Diego County’s Lions Tigers & Bears animal rescue in Alpine, California.
Bobbi Brink, founder and director of Lions Tigers & Bears, a 93-acre big cat and exotic animal rescue facility, recorded this video at the preserve in San Diego County. The organization reposted this video, which was originally posted in April of 2021, to Instagram on September 22, with the caption reading in part, “Oh My Gourdness! It’s the first day of autumn!”
The video shows Teddy – a Himalayan black bear who bounced between small zoos and private owners until he was adopted by the sanctuary in 2014 – sitting upright on a picnic bench while snacking on a gourd.
According to the organization’s website, their mission is to provide “a safe haven to abused and abandoned exotic animals and to inspiring an educational forum to end the exotic animal trade.”
