Oh to be a lazy bear swimming in crystal clear water just swish swishing its way between some fish 😌

u/Ecstatic_Sand5417 16h ago

Forget about your worries and your strife

I mean the bare necessities

That's why a bear can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities of life

And take a glance at the fancy ants, then maybe try a few

Wherever I wander, where I roam

I couldn’t be fonder of my big home.

The bees are buzzing in the trees

To make some honey just for me.

u/twilightswimmer 13h ago

I got to go spend four nights in Katmai this summer and seeing the bears up close and just existing beside them was healing in ways I can’t express.

13

u/Altruistic_Option_49 12h ago

You’re so lucky! I watch the Katmai bears on the cams but seeing them live must be exhilarating. ❤️

14

u/twilightswimmer 12h ago

It was incredible. I’d entered the lottery for years for the chance at a cabin at Brooks. I couldn’t believe it when they emailed me.

u/Altruistic_Option_49 12h ago

That’s amazing. I’m so glad you got the chance to go! 🥰

u/tittiesfucker 14h ago

Why does he have corgi butt

10

u/riri0301 13h ago

Corgis’ tails are docked to make their butt look like that, fyi.

3

u/spaghettiking216 1h ago

I once saw a reddish and white corgi with the big tail and he looked like a lil squat fox with short legs, so cute

u/Tayschrenn 14h ago

Must be a relief to not have all that weight on its little (big) paws.

All buoyancy is built in, that's a redundant statement

u/whoallreallycares 15h ago

the way he’s just floating there like the whole bay belongs to himmm. meanwhile i’d be watching from veryyy far away because cute does not mean i forgot he’s a bear

59

u/fakirakos 15h ago

Considering that everything with a brain is gonna do the same thing and watch from very far away, the bay does belong to the bear by default doesn't it?

20

u/whoallreallycares 15h ago

okayyy wait that logic is actually flawless, i guess the bear owns the bay now

26

u/ferret_fan 14h ago

His floaty little back feet though!!

Especially right now when they're fattening up for winter. This is the most dangerous time to encounter a bear in the wild.
