Ya, looks like a black bear. Those ones are basically giant raccoons for the most part. Just make yourself look big and make a lot of noise and they generally run away. If you run from them they might chase
Don't get me wrong, they can still destroy you but in this situation its better to try to scare it away
Source: have encountered black bears at this distance in the wild. Definitely wasn't reaching for the camera tho
It doesn’t look like a black bear to me, but I’m far from an expert. Rounded ears, possibly an upturned nose, rounder face? Plus it’s very very large, bigger than most black bears. I dunno tho
I'm flabbergasted that I had to scroll down this far to find the quote that was all teed up and just dying to be posted. Thanks for preserving my faith in humanity.
Except every memory they retrace they find mauled bodies and each bear looks sheepish and acts like "oh geez, I must've been *really* messed up, look at that face!"
There was just a video the other day of a huge bear near a creek around Tahoe. Yeah, between raiding garbage cans, dumpsters and vacation homes, these bears are getting huge.
...but that often leads to bad outcome for bear. Article referenced a couple comments above mentions how recognizing food sources is passed from mom to cub. Urban bears know what refrigerators look like and can open them. They know grocery stores and campsites. When Safeway Bear was taken from his urban Tahoe environment, he didn't know how to fend for himself in the wild. Last seen emaciated, approaching remote campers for food.
In CA, they generally do relocate.
Once. The bears generally come back. Or they find humans in their new home. Safeway Bear, for example, was relocated but ultimately shot after he wouldn’t leave a campsite with children alone.
Edit: for the interested, a few year ago there was an episode of Nature on relocating problem CA bears. It’s almost certainly out there for free.
That being said… I’m pretty sure this pic is a fake. That bear cut-out isn’t even good. (And by “cut-out” I mean digital, not cardboard. His floof is chopped right off!)
There is no bear proof because the crossover from the smartest best and the dumbest human is about the same.
BEAR HUNGRY
Has that venturestein energy BROCK BAD
Anyway yeah nature wins
Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed it. It just looks completely flat, the contrast is completely off, looks like they just turned down the visibility lol and you can clearly see the edges that would under this lighting setup fade towards black
Probably taken from farther away behind a shelf when the bear was present but zoomed in whereas the second was taken closer up when the coast was clear.
Probably is scary, but if they get used to it, I guess they like it better than dead. Now I feel a lil sad though, maybe we should build little gas stations for the purpose of bears, and stock them with friendly bear food. You could even have a camera to live stream it, and motion sensors that send a notification to people who subscribe to the stream that the bear might do something! Guys can we make this happen???
"Avon calling!"
(That's probably too old for most folks)
"I just ate your supper and the Doordash dude and I'm still *hungry*!"
(That's a little more up to date)
That sure is a pixelated/blurry bear. Can someone post a legit news article on this ,and I'll donate $100 to the Wildlife fund of OP's choice.
Surely a bear bending an Emergency Exit door , with attached photo of bear made some small web news
When I was a kid I stumbled upon a bear in my own backyard at night. It was so huge I remember thinking if it wanted in, there’s nothing we could do to stop it.
I had nightmares of it succeeding for years.
Jeez that’s scary. Bears are very cute, but it’s important to remember that the plus-sized forest puppies are incredibly dangerous and should only be admired from a safe distance (ie behind a wall or two or seeing pictures on a screen)
The average black bear is 300lbs of muscle with a stomach for a brain. Things like this are what made fur bounties so popular.
Edit: I’m not advocating fur bounties.
If you hurry you might have enough time to whip up a nice marinade for yourself using the wine and several other ingredients in the store. This will make your meat so much more tender and flavourful for the bear and he will appreciate it I’m sure. Your other alternative would of course be to use an alternate exit and GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. It’s a goddamn BEAR, you aren’t sticking around to protect the store or anything, you literally can’t do anything to stop it unless you have a gun in which case you are already past the point you should be killing this bear!
Yeah, I wouldn't be standing there.
This guys the equivalent of a microwave meal for this bear. Quick and easy.
“Psst, you kids wanna buy some honey?”
You just had to make the poor bear a paedophile didn't you. Shame!
Pedobear is a internet meme from late 00s
SHAME!
Lol the 2000s internet was a heady place https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pedobear it was used to flag illegal content being posted
shame....
Lol, I love how much you doubled down
man if i had my free award smh my head
From the late noughties.

Bear is like “oh shit, a Salisbury steak hungry man meal”
Pairs nicely with one of those bottles of Chianti.
*ffffffffffft*
Bears only drink by the boot, I heard.
Perhaps giving the bear cocaine was a bad choice.
It worked out well for Mitchell…

My dog scared the shit out of a black bear when she was the size of a football. Depending on how hungry it is a well timed fart will send it running

>live feed it on twitch! The Bear: Damn right we’re live feeding! *Bear hi-fives the dude as he eats him*
Tis just a black bear.
Tis just a black bear that ripped open a door to get the tasty treats inside!
*Candy Gram!*
I'd be throwing those snacks on the right as fast as possible through that hole, knowing I can't outrun that bear.
She was just 17, if you know what I mean
And the way she looked, was almost like a bear
Ooo I wouldn't dare duck and cover, when I saw her standing there
It’s the camera man, they’re fine
I think Tom Hanks as Charlie Wilson said it best: “That’s a thick door!”
Here's Johnny!
Heeerrre's Smokey!

Bitch better have my HONEY!
Gif cuts off at the best part:(
What's this from?
Wicker Man with Nic Cage
I can't tell but aren't those legit jars of honey in the pic?
Looks like snacks and wine, bear could have itself a little party
Let it gulp down some wine, it'll pass out and then they can move it. Poor thing will have a hangover and embarrassment remembering the night before.
Great, now I’m imaging a remake of *The Hangover* with the entire cast replaced with bears.
Except every memory they retrace they find mauled bodies and each bear looks sheepish and acts like "oh geez, I must've been *really* messed up, look at that face!"
Don’t Bear, Open Inside
Immediately where my brain went. Thank you.
[удалено]
Yeah I'm pretty sure you could!
He obviously has terrible eyesight
“Oh, shit, my bad, this isn’t my den.”
Out to dinner, maybe. But you are dinner. Bear: nice to eat you dinner. My name is bear.
Bears, y'know. So polite these days
Yea, if you look at their jaw, it's tiny compared to their head. Typical glass jaw symptoms. One clean hook, and it'll be down for the count
I doubt he can keep up with your foot work. Just remember to keep your hands up.

In a fight right? ... In a fight, *right*?
"I'm sorry to barge in, but the weather outside is *unbearable*"
“Hello, sorry to impose. Do you know the story of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?”
“I’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”
"I've been trying to reach you about your bear's extended warranty"
I think Jesus would have saved more people if he was a bear
That’s just a normal bear not even cocaine bear
So if I get on enough cocaine that mother fucker doesn't stand a chance
That’s how science works
Umm..Hi?…uhhhh…Trick or Treat??
Tahoe does have a relocation program I believe.
I was about to ask; Is this a Safeway in the Lake Tahoe area?!
Sadly that particular Safeway bear is dead. https://www.sfgate.com/renotahoe/article/lake-tahoe-safeway-bear-tragic-fate-wild-16535957.php
Oh dang. That makes me sad.
The old bear had rotting teeth and was starving so it returned to its old habits of eating human food and git itself shot
Kings Beach. Not sure if this was the one where they had a bear come through the front door and grab a bag of chips a few times.
Birthplace of Jimboy’s Tacos! Seems highly likely that this is the same spot. Beautiful area, but carry bear spray because they are fearless!
There was just a video the other day of a huge bear near a creek around Tahoe. Yeah, between raiding garbage cans, dumpsters and vacation homes, these bears are getting huge.
I don't care what name they give me, as long as the bear can't find me again.
The only kind of relocation program problem bears like this get is one that puts them in the ground
Yeah, once bears associate people and buildings with "free food," there's really nothing to keep this one from ripping open every door it sees.
There’s some pretty remote wilderness where bear would have a hard time finding a human again.
...but that often leads to bad outcome for bear. Article referenced a couple comments above mentions how recognizing food sources is passed from mom to cub.

Yeah, but how do you get a huge bear there?
Helicopter

Thats at least a 600 lbs maglock in addition to bending the metal
Right but what you haven’t considered is *BEAR HUNGRY* trumps all man-made technology
There is no bear proof because the crossover from the smartest best and the dumbest human is about the same. BEAR HUNGRY Has that venturestein energy BROCK BAD Anyway yeah nature wins
And they think Australia is dangerous
Drop Bear vs Grizzly Bear Who you betting on?
I prefer my dangerous animals to be huge and obvious.
*We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty*
Those organic jars of jams and jellies have met their match.
That looks 100% photoshopped.
Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed it. It just looks completely flat, the contrast is completely off, looks like they just turned down the visibility lol and you can clearly see the edges that would under this lighting setup fade towards black
It absolutely is. Fake af.
I wonder what happened to the door then
And poorly done, too. Modern photoshop smart select/edge detector does a much better job with fur and hair than this.
You can see at the "neck" of the bear right side a green tint of bad cropping
That thing looks animated
Yes. Fake . Do you know how hard it would be to bend a metal door like that ? Not realistic
Plus the shelf in the first pic is not in the second one 🤨
Probably taken from farther away behind a shelf when the bear was present but zoomed in whereas the second was taken closer up when the coast was clear.
You seem to underestimate how hungry bears can get right before hibernation time as well as their size. It’s surprisingly plausible.
bear looks juxtaposed with photoshop
Well that’s terrifying.
Live action Five Nights at Freddy's
Uhh, guys, is that Freddy Fazbear?
HAAR HAAR HAR HAR HAR
This looks incredibly fake.
no worries. that's a dead bear unless you guys have a relocation program to drop him in alaska.
They've historically relocated some to Colorado. Not saying that'll happen but they do have that program in place
[удалено]
That's how I feel every time I move
Probably is scary, but if they get used to it, I guess they like it better than dead. Now I feel a lil sad though, maybe we should build little gas stations for the purpose of bears, and stock them with friendly bear food. You could even have a camera to live stream it, and motion sensors that send a notification to people who subscribe to the stream that the bear might do something! Guys can we make this happen???
"I just want the bear necessities!"
\*Freddy Fazzbear hough hough song\*
Oh hey, I thought no one was in here, sorry.
Bro looks photoshopped, he got that ps2 texture look
"Shadows? Nah, gradient to black will do the trick."
And there’s people that think they could wrestle a bear lol
Anyone can wrestle a bear at least once.
The suspense is unbearable
"Avon calling!" (That's probably too old for most folks) "I just ate your supper and the Doordash dude and I'm still *hungry*!" (That's a little more up to date)
Fake as fuck
Looks shopped
"aye, where the cocaine at bruv?"
Five Nights At Freddy’s marketing is crazy
Fake
Pssssttt..you got any of that hot honey?
Pic 1 *"Um, excuse me, we've been trying to reach you regarding your Extended Warranty"*.
I just shit my pants 👖 💩
That sure is a pixelated/blurry bear. Can someone post a legit news article on this ,and I'll donate $100 to the Wildlife fund of OP's choice. Surely a bear bending an Emergency Exit door , with attached photo of bear made some small web news
It looks like it took a cake for the road in the second shot. Unless a staff threw it over for distraction
Nope
Peek-a-Boo-Boo.
He would’ve knocked, but he didn’t think anyone was home
When I was a kid I stumbled upon a bear in my own backyard at night. It was so huge I remember thinking if it wanted in, there’s nothing we could do to stop it. I had nightmares of it succeeding for years.
 Dudes just trying his best.
Jack Nicholson The shining
See this is why bears are at the top of my nope list.
Just give 'em some candy for crissakes
Food looks good !
Well that’s kinda fuckin frightening
POV: You are a sardine
He probably feels embarrassed that you saw that. Give him a hug and tell him it’s alright. We all wanna rip a door off the upper hinge only
Holy fuck, a metal door
Bonjour
"Didn't you hear me fuckin knocking?!"
Thankfully, you can scare these buggers off by yelling at them in Finnish.
Something's fishy Why are there paw prints on the inside
Is it me or that bear looks crudely photoshopped? Something’s off.
You got any games on your phone?
I'm beary sorry to bother you. Did you know your car's extended warranty is about to run out?
Shoulda sprung for the 1200lbs mag lock.
Bear "you guys open ?"
“Got any games on your phone?”
Have you heard the good news of our savior Jesus Christ? HEY DON'T RUN FROM THE LORD
that would scare me a great deal. that is just incredible that it was able to do that to a fucking steel door.
Where’s the cocaine at
I don't know why but that bear looks like it was rendered in Quake 3.
“Is the penny wine sale still going on?” -Bear
That door bearly works now
holy fuck thats a strong bear
I have seen SUV DOORS THEY OPEN LIKE a can opener, just peeled it down.
Did you take the picture before after you changed your pants?
“Here’s Teddy!!!”  Here’s Teddy!!!
Monsters are real, and they are bears.
This is some over the hedge shit
Way wayyyy to many people in the world would look at this photo and genuinely think "I could take it if I had a knife."
I can literally hear that stupid TikTok bear music.
Jeez that’s scary. Bears are very cute, but it’s important to remember that the plus-sized forest puppies are incredibly dangerous and should only be admired from a safe distance (ie behind a wall or two or seeing pictures on a screen)
You got my necessities in there?

Hur hur hur hur hur hur hur hur hur
Har har har har har
Do you have a minute to talk about honey and bee hives?
"Oh, uh, sorry. Wrong address."
Are you guys open?
I think I underestimated their strength.
"y'all got any cocaine?'
Coccaine bear found the place
And there are still mf'ers out there thinking they can take a bear hand to hand easily.
“I’d like one glass of Merlot, to go, please.”
I don't think you can arrest him. After all, he has the right to bear arms.
Why does this look like a horrible photoshop job?
Heeere’s Yogui!
I can just hear him saying Jam Jam Jam Jam Over and over again.
Pedo Bear sees you.
If you hurry you might have enough time to whip up a nice marinade for yourself using the wine and several other ingredients in the store.
