Watch: Bear Walks Like Human
I feel really bad for this bear which has obviously lost a leg in some sort of mishap. However, good for it for adapting. It's so odd-looking you expect the suit to unzip and a guy to walk out. Seeing this out in nature would definitely inspire a double take.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

So, a bear walks into a bar.....
Stop me if you've heard this one before.

That's so sad and sweet and creepy at the same time.
Poor thing probably got caught in a bear trap.

Seems to me like the mystery of bigfoot has been solved... it was a bear all along!

That bear walks better than my Aunt Gladys after she's had a box of wine!

That's amazing...but she seems to be handling it fine, the cub seems healthy as well.
The thing that made MY skin crawl = the mosquitoes constant buzzing

Right, there are bears walking upright in all the states that have had Bigfoot sightings.

There has got to be a genetic link between that bear and the guys at the Atlanta Eagle! They even walk the same! ;-)

That's freaky amazing- I wonder is this how the whole Big Foot myth got started?

What the hell is that guy doing in that tree?

I wonder if the cub will start walking upright like its mother? They learn a lot by example. And I don't think those were mosquitoes - they may be those huge deer flies - those things are monstrous and give a really bad bite.

That's very painful to watch, for me, there's nothing funny about it.
Simply amazing and deeply touching.

I hope the bear is able to get enough food. I am very concerned about it, though. But the spirit and determination that bear has is such an inspiration.

In so many ways this just breaks my heart.......like seeing a polio child walk with calipers............at least this mother bear is coping but her arthritis in old age.......
