[QUOTE]Photographer Rafael Torres said he followed the bear as it climbed into a hammock on Glenbriar Circle and got comfortable.Torres said he was about 60 feet away when he took the photos, and the bear didn't seem bothered by his presence. It stayed in the hammock for 20 minutes before heading back into the woods around 8:15 p.m.
"He got in the hammock like he was a tourist or something," said Vincent James, who owns the home and the hammock. "Then something spooked him and he ran right back there. Then half an hour later I come back and I saw there he is in the hammock again."

I'm a little worried, if it breaks with him in it, he'll go beareling down, and his injuries could be quite grizzly.

I have a hell of a time getting into hammocks and a bear with no concept of them is able to do it without issue?

[Awesomecaek]

It's probably sad that this makes me much more empathic towards the animal than researches of "WE KNOW THEY FEEL PAIN AND FEAR AND CARE FOR THEIR BABIES".

Nah, laziness and need for comfort. THAT'S things I can relate to.

Black bears are pretty friendly

Bear in mind, bears have been spending their lives climbing things. A hammock is probably pretty low on their difficulty list.

A nice resting place for his bear ass

Someone should start up a fund for planting random hammocks in the forest

He's just hanging around waiting for a picnic basket. Jellystone Park currently has a shortage.

Hey Boo-Boo, I've SEEN things you wouldn't believe. Pic-a-nic baskets on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched torch beams glitter in the dark near the park rangers' lodge. All those moments, will be lost in time. Like... sugar, on an anthill. Time, to hibernate...

But in all seriousness, the look on that bear's face makes it seem as if it's recovering from the horrors it has seen, with that thousand yard stare.
