Title: Does this bear look like it's walking funny?
Post by: woodman on April 29, 2014, 07:11:49 PM: I am wondering if there is something wrong with it's back leg. Just looks very stiff or something. I would guess that it would run very awkward.

Post by: pd on April 29, 2014, 09:19:57 PM: Yes, I think he has a problem with the left rear leg, probably at the hip joint (not at the knee). But he was clearly able to stand on his rear legs, so it can't be that bad.

Still a legal bear, in my opinion.

About a week ago I had one bear chasing another near this area on camera. I thought maybe this might be the result of a tussle between them?

Or from just being a big old fart of a bear!

You don't get a noggin like that until you've put some years on those legs. May not weigh a ton, but he's a dandy!
