This bear’s got legs, and he knows how to use them!
The only thing is – he uses them like no bear that we’ve ever seen!
Lately in northern New Jersey, a bear has been astounding people with its ability to walk on its hind legs like a human being!
In fact – the bear’s walking style has confounded SO many people that some have speculated that it’s actually someone in a bear suit walking around.
But information about this bear has come to light, and the facts are that this really is a bear! A black bear actually!
Local wildlife authorities have deemed the juvenile bear Vinny and say that the reason he’s been walking the way he has been because he injured his two front paws – most likely due to him being struck by a car.
Authorities have NO plans to relocate or do anything to this ah-mazing little guy because they’ve assessed has is not a threat to human beings, and they also said he should be walking normally again once he’s all healed up in about six months.
Until then, NJ residents will be able to keep watching this bear in action with his human-like gait!
