14 DAY TRIAL // Mr. Ripley was sure talented, but this bear trumps each and every one of his skills. Just look at it do front rolls, clap, sit in a chair and play the trumpet. It can even hula-hoop!
As the video shows, the bear has no issues hanging around humans and dogs. In fact, it looks to me as if it is best friends with the man and the German shepherd featured in this footage.
In case you were wondering how and why the bear learned to perform all these tricks, here's your answer: the animal used to work with a Russian circus.
And since bears don't usually learn such tricks willingly, I can only assume that its handlers did not use to be all that friendly towards it.
The bear does not seem to mind performing all these tricks, but something tells me it would much rather spend its time chilling in the woods.
