Not only is bear bile farming totally disgusting, but it's extremely torturous to the bears!

Apparently a company called Guizhentang Pharmaceutical does NOT agree, as they've been using the bile in traditional remedies claimed to "shrink gallstones, reduce fevers and sooth the aftereffects of excessive drinking." You're just hearing about it now because the company stock went public, and wanted to use the IPO money to increase its stock of captive bears from 400 up to 1,200.

We are shaking!

With amazing feelings!

Why?

Because we just bore witness to one of the greatest fights ever. The Thrilla In Alaska!

The Alaska Zoo to be exact.

There Kali took on a stuffed bear and the results, or pictures, were amazing!

If you don't remember Kali's heartbreaking story, click here to rehash your memory!

Well, this is like that fairy tale Goldilocks and the story of the three bears except in reverse!

A couple of bears broke into the home of a California resident and started eating all of the man's food!

Eventually the local police and animal control were able to make the bears flee and run away, but by that point - they had eaten everything!!!

And we don't mean bears who like to dig through junk piles or something.

We mean addicts!!

These bears are addicted to sniffing fuel fumes from discarded aircraft fuel barrels.

There's nothing cuter than animals who look like they're disappointed in you!

So when we found out there was a musical version of that??

We just HAD to post it!

Ze Frank is a youtube comedian who does funny voiceovers and music.

He was inspired by a list of animals who just look really disappointed, so he made the list into a song!

And we have to say, it's pretty spectacular!

Check out the video (above) to laugh your booty off at some cute animals!

Managing one HUMAN child is hard enough…but 27 bears cubs????

A 60 year old man from New Hampshire has the tough task of getting 27 orphan bear cubs cuties to bed….

FOR THE WINTER!!!

As reported earlier, Ben Kilham is the area's "bear rehabilitator", and every year, he gets the fun job to teaching four to five cubbies how to act like bears when their mothers are taken away from them during hunting season.

WOW!

We could NEVER imagine caring for over 27 orphaned Black Bear cubs, but that is exactly what New Hampshire's only bear rehabilitator is doing this winter.

Over the past 20 winters Ben Kilham has cared for an average of 3-5 orphaned cub bears who hibernate in an enclosure near his home.

But this year there is a record amount of bears and the other problem is
