[B][QUOTE]In the mountains of northern [URL="http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/countries/laos-guide/"]Laos[/URL], a three-year-old [URL="http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/22824/0"]Asiatic black bear[/URL] has become a medical pioneer: the world's first bear to undergo brain surgery.
[/B]The bear, named Champa, has lived most of her life at a sanctuary run by[URL="http://www.freethebears.org.au/"]Free the Bears[/URL], an Australian nonprofit group. About 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of the city of Luang Prabang, the sanctuary protects bears that Lao officials have rescued from wildlife traffickers. The Asiatic black bear, or moon bear, whose bile is considered a valuable ingredient in traditional Chinese and Korean medicine, is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

If there were a super villain in the bear community, it'd probably look like this.

See that's where you are wrong. You can't just be a "nice guy" to a bear and expect it to like you. You actually have to ask it out. Bring it some berries, or a honeycomb or something. Don't just sit at home on your computer and rub one out while posting about how "No bears love me. I got seriously human-zoned." Work at it, and your chances of getting it in with a bear will go up exponentially.
