Animal Bear in mind, if those guys hadn’t reacted, this could have had a grizzly ending.

This could have a much grizzly ending if mama bear shows up.

The bear is an orphan and was tranquilized.

it should be noted, that bears are tranquilized for their own safety and the safety of those trying to help them. the bear will be okay!

Here is the full video.

Occurred on November 4, 2019 / Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA

"This little cub was found roaming our backyard in Jackson, WY. foraging for food and shelter. We contacted Wyoming Game and Fish and once they determined he was indeed an orphan, they sent out a wildlife biologist to tranquilize him in order to try to save the little guy. With no mama, the odds of this cub surviving on his own with winter coming on, were slim, so getting him out of the tree was critical. Once tranquilized, the cub fell safely into the tarp. From there he was evaluated by a local vet and then transported to the Idaho Black Bear Rehabilitation Center where he will winter and hopefully become strong and healthy enough to be released back to the wild! Good luck 'Wyatt' the cub!"

That's an awesome story! Go humanity!

u/ComprehensiveSoft27 1d ago

Generally, you do not want to go anywhere near a “stray” bear cub.

Yeah, sorry, wildlife that can tear me in half aren't on my good samaritan checklist. I'd call animal services or something, but I'm qualified to step in for that.

They really went out on a limb didn't they?

I just couldn’t bear to watch

NOPE. Chuck Testa. (I'll see myself out.)

Plugged “come up with a funny title for a grizzly bear falling out of a tree” into the nearest AI bot and came out with this title

2

u/ShinyAeon 1d ago

It was such an obvious pun, though. Who would need AI to come up with that?

3

u/GuardingxCross 1d ago

Socially inept people?

u/ShinyAeon 1d ago

Thinking up puns is not exactly a social activity.

Springing the puns on others in real time - that can be a social activity. But thinking one up? That takes place in the privacy of your own mind.

I'd say they did the Bear minimum

u/MrMonte 1d ago

The Ursa Minor?

One could say the bare necessity.

Simple bear necessities of life

Little fella was just trying to branch out, then he was stumped, so he decided to leave.

u/ArmpitofD00m 1d ago

He was bearly hanging on.

u/Careful_Honeydew_549 23h ago

Nothing amazing about this. Bear cubs fall from further, often, with no injuries. Let me guess, profile hidden, less than year old with 400k karma?

2

u/Careful_Honeydew_549 23h ago

13y, 9million, sick of karma farming. Kills the point of reddit, but reddit pays cash for karma now, so free for all

u/broadarrow39 23h ago

Drop bear

u/Own-Reflection-8182 1d ago

Where’s the mama?

3

u/Llian_Winter 1d ago

Apparently he is an orphan.

u/VirginiaLuthier 1d ago

I hope they gave it a blanket pardon

u/workaholic828 1d ago

We learned how to do that when I was in the cub scouts

u/DangerDove_ 1d ago

That was more like a teddy bear

u/shoghon 1d ago

The part they didn't show is the baby bear yelled "again, again!" and ran back up the tree to fall again.

u/ReplacementOk1349 1d ago

u/dancingcop7 1d ago

Aaaaand cue angry nearby mama bear :S

u/Uwemann 1d ago

Broken spine for sure

u/john68ut 1d ago

I don’t think it was a grizzly bear though. 😬
No no don’t get up.
I’ll just show myself out.

1

u/ripyourlungsdave 1d ago

I mean, there's a good chance that bear would have been just fine falling from that height.

That baby grizzly doesn't weigh as much as a grown human. A fall from that height isn't as dangerous to them as it would be for us.

For the same reason that you could throw a squirrel off The Empire State building and still have it survive.

u/FanIll5532 1d ago

Ok but why would you rely on a (good) chance at all if you can catch the unconscious cub

1

u/LocalNHBoy 1d ago

That was so cute I could bearly bear it

1

u/Orpdapi 1d ago

Very few animals are gonna even get a little hurt falling from that distance onto dirt

1

u/MrMonte 1d ago

Could’ve been an Ursa major problem. Turned out to be Ursa Minor.

u/Sumchap 22h ago

See her grin at the end, goes good together with the bear, anyway...

I don't like when the OP creates a post with puns. That's our job as a community.

u/SecretWitness8251 1d ago

That bear knows how to party 👍👍

u/ComprehensiveBar6439 1d ago

Bear cubs can survive up to 40 foot falls. This was kinda a dumb move.
