I saw a playful young polar bear at the zoo the other day. He was doing tricks - so cute. Also, the chillest sun bear ever.

That bear actually made The Today Show and I saw a segment about him. It wasn't a one off thing, he lives on a farm or something somewhere and learned to wave from all the people who would wave at him. People go there now specifically to get a wave from him.

Situation 2 - Bear has detected your presence, but is more than 100 m (350 ft) distant.
Your goal here is to act in such a way as to allow the bear to identify you, but to also let it know that you are no threat. Speak calmly so that it knows you are a human (their eyesight is quite poor). They will often quickly give ground to you once they identify you as human. If the situation permits, back away slowly, keeping a close eye on the bear. Otherwise, you may wish to detour around the bear, but in this case, detour upwind so that the bear can get your scent. Keep talking calmly. Waving your arms may help it identify you as a human.

Story from my neighborhood (relatively speaking):
Bear Injures Raft Guide Camping Along Middle Fork Flathead River
Around 6 a.m., a commercial raft company was on a guided overnight trip with two guides and three clients when a bear entered camp, the release states. The victim, an adult female guide, reported she was sleeping outside on the ground when she sustained injuries from what officials believe was a black bear.Bear spray was deployed but the bear returned multiple times to camp, according to the release.The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Logan Health in Whitefish.

The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Logan Health in Whitefish.
I said to my wife that the bear probably came up and poked at her with its paw, like, "Hey, you awake?" Hope they don't kill it.

Around 4:15 this morning I heard a couple of big banging sounds outside, enough to actually wake wide up and take a peek outside. A bear had knocked over my trash can out on the street (today is pickup day), got upset by the lack of shitty food garbage (compost all the way!), and then decided to go full Kool-Aid Bear through the gate in the fence, across my backyard, and finally Kool-Aid Bear again through the fence I share with my neighbors on the SW side. Somehow, the bear avoided knocking down the rudimentary fencing for our eventual vegetable garden for which I am thankful.
I live in Sierra Madre, which is in the same foothills as Arcadia mentioned above, and bears are constant. (a typical sighting: https://www.reddit.com/r/sierramadre/comments/14766uj/hello_fellow_neighbors_this_is_above_grandview_a/ )

have to admire morgan from Twitter X's, um, creativity in thinking there might be 20-30 bear species.
let's think....brown, American black, Andean (aka spectacled), polar, sloth, sun, Asian black, giant panda.
can understand people thinking it might be *slightly* more than that if they don't realise US grizzly bears are the same species as brown bears. And that Kodiak bears are a sub-species of same.

LAKE MARY, Fla. (WFLA) — A three-legged bear known locally as Tripod was caught on camera breaking into a home in Lake Mary, Florida over the weekend and helping itself to some snacks and adult beverages.
Faneite-Diglio told the news station that Tripod had some fish food that was left next to their fish tank and then proceeded to the bar.
“He took three White Claws, drank, and left very happy. His favorite flavor is mango and strawberry,” Faneite-Diglio told WESH.

Tourist Mauled After Rolling Down Window For Bear Selfie
A Scottish tourist is thankful to be alive after a close encounter with a wild bear sent her to the emergency room. Moira Gallacher, 72, had been vacationing in Romania with her friend Charmian Widdowson when the women decided to go for a drive through the Carpathian Mountains.During the outing, the women came across a couple of brown bears and did their best to get a photo of the wildlife. “What happened was the bear came up to the window at my friend’s side, and no problem. It let us take a picture and went away,” Gallacher said in a video shared by Scottish outlet STV News on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday, April 23. “But I didn’t get a proper picture, so we went back and it was at my side.”...“We saw these bears – a mummy bear, and a baby – they were gorgeous,” Widdowson said. “But they weren’t gorgeous. The mummy bear was hungry, and thought my friend was going to be lunch,” she added.Recounting the moments before the mauling, Widdowson said she parked her car to be able to get a better photo. “I thought he wanted to be friends,” she said. “The bear came and wanted to get into the car, but he started getting into the car and bit my friend.”
