it is quite a wave, such a mocking bear

whatever otm it's just so amazing
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.

let's think....brown, American black, Andean (aka spectacled), polar, sloth, sun, Asian black, giant panda
Are giant pandas actually bears? or massive rodents
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 13 June 2024 07:10 (four days ago) link
DNA sequencing finally proved that, yes, giant pandas are bears. They were originally thought to be bears, then placed in the raccoon family (Procyonidae), then in a family of their own together with the red panda and are now considered bears again.No zoologist ever considered they were rodents iirc although rhino-sized capybara-like rodents did exist in prehistory.
― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 13 June 2024 07:38 (four days ago) link
Ahh, okay... I thought raccoons were rodents but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore: 'Distantly related to cats and dogs, they share a common evolutionary ancestor with bears.'

xxp it gets confusing because old phenotypic classifications (and reclassifications) were often made on guesswork based on physiology and locale, whereas you can now slap some panda dna in a sequencer and figure out that their genotype says "bear"
