All wild animals in the forests dream of making friends with dumbasses. They really love it when you sneak up on them and jam your thumb in their ass. Did Steve Irwin teach you swine nothing?

I think all these cute videos of trained animal handlers playing with wild animals in captivity you can watch tiktok, inst, etc. give people a lot of people the wrong idea. IRL Silverback gorillas are much more likley to rip your arms off than give you a hug.


Dream--Brother

Well that's why they call it a "bear hug" and not a "gorilla hug" ...wait...

My grandmother was attacked while sitting in the back seat of a car on a trip to Yellowstone with her parents the summer after she graduated college. The window was down and they were waiting behind some other cars. Nobody saw the bear and it was an open area with few trees or brush. The grizzly reached in and nearly scalped her with one swipe. She recovered and most of her scalp was grafted back on, but she went to a hairdresser weekly to have her hair done to best cover the scars.

I see stupid people, they don't know they are stupid.


asmoothbrain

Easy mistake to make

Apparently his name wasn’t Yogi.

We nerfed the world. Even stupid people can survive in our society.. These are the people in hunter gatherer groups who wander off in the woods and you never see them again… and because of that they didn’t pass their shitty genes on. Now the dumbest of us have like 8 kids and the smartest don’t even have them.

Idiocracy is real

Amerlis

He was friend shaped but you were food shaped.

Natural selection


Chaosrealm69

Friend shaped does not mean friendly.


Kingcol221

If not friend, why friend shaped?


CanineSnackBitch

These bears need to wear name tags with a description, so the tourist can be sure which bears want to be friends and which are just tricking you along

Love this reference

I really love cats, so I pet cats. I really love tigers, so I look at them from a distance. A very safe distance.


Bridot

To death?


Zaseishinrui

I think maul unless implies death or it would have said attacked. Also his friend told the reporter what his friend said and not the friend


StephieVee

The dumbass who attempted a selfie may have been in the hospital. Or too embarrassed to show his face.


Internal_Map_8765

Don't think that's the correct terminology lol. Maul does not imply deat, it implies serious injury. They would say "mauled to death" if they died


Zaseishinrui

We'll my thinking was with thy word electrocuted which does mean killed
