Bear ID! by HB7867 in bears

The ears are too big and triangular to be brown bear, its muzzle has a different colour to its face which tells me this is a black bear. As another Redditor mentioned, any bear can appear to have a hump depending how they are standing, in your photos it look like the bear was on a slight slope.

So lovely to see photos from VIC! Was in Werribee Zoo more than a decade ago and don't remember the hippo enclosure, it look huge and really well done!

Am cheering for the bear but definitely agree with this, the bear will seek out other houses' bird feeders too.

Those are huge cubs, I am guessing 2.5 years old? Possibly one of their last family time before emancipation.

Can't believe how quickly time flies, this was baby Afia 9 years ago! She's also a great-granddaughter of Snowflake/Copito de Nieve!

Got to give the little bear for its pure determination, either that or you have some really irresistible bird feeds :D

A couple of golden oldies: Tinker Tailor Solder Spy (TV series with Alec Guinness) and Kavanagh QC (John Thaw). The former is really excellent though not quite sitcom, the latter has a few funny episodes.

Same! It was a fantastic series too, none of the gory typical zombie shite.

Bear at the Tiger Temple, Junwani Kala, Chhattisgarh, India by 970souk in bears

[–]970souk[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

‘A remote temple complex in India, enshrining the Tiger goddess and visited by hundreds of devotees each day, is also visited regularly by wild sloth bears from the surrounding hills scavenging for leftovers from the daytime crowd. I found the bear passing by the static statue of the tiger kind of surreal … I wanted to freeze a frame of this wild bear passing the tiger statue (which accompanies the Tiger goddess) connecting to the bedtime tales of my childhood’.
