Shirtless man filmed harassing Yellowstone bears may face jail, fine

Video at source

The clip shows a sunglasses-sporting hellion parking his car alongside what appears to be a black bear in a meadow as his friend films from the passenger seat.

He gets out and runs at the critter while howling and grunting like a gorilla, causing the startled animal to flee into the forest as the videographer guffaws hysterically.

The bruin-bothering jackanape whips off his shirt, flexes, and lets out a bloodcurdling roar in apparent triumph over his cretinous deed.

The clip cuts to the now-topless joker chasing another bear into the woods while growling.

Needless to say, viewers were unimpressed with the dumb and dangerous display. Tourons of Yellowstone suggested the outcome would have been far different if “he would have done this to a Griz [grizzly bear] or a Moose.”

Yellowstone authorities say they have viewed the vids and are investigating the incident — which could land the perpetrator in serious trouble — if he doesn’t get mauled to death first.

“The charge in an incident like this would be a Class B misdemeanor with up to six months in jail and $5,000 fine,” said Veress. “The charge/s could include for example disturbing wildlife, disorderly conduct (create/maintain a hazardous condition), and/or approaching wildlife.”

I think he should just be allowed the run of the park.

Well, if you mess with the bull, you get the horns. Or in this case, the bull would be a bear 🐻 and the horns would be claws.

Tourons of Yellowstone suggested the outcome would have been far different if “he would have done this to a Griz [grizzly bear] or a Moose.”

And yet, back in the '80's, this was the very thing suggested should one surprise such a creature while hiking.

Not to get all anecdotal and such, however, the very thing happened to my wife and I back in "83, I think it was.

Wife rounded a trail corner and encountered an old mossy-back grizz, reaching way up to score some berries.

My wife's first reaction was to throw her poncho (she was carrying it) at the bear, scream like a dying banshee and then freeze immobile.

I had time to watch the bear drop to all fours, shuffle around, grunt a few times (possibly farted) and then shat upon the trail and slowly amble off toward the higher ground.

An aside, anecdotally speaking, of course, the bear was not the only one that shat on that trail.

Present company...etc, etc, naturally.

The Ranger, who had passed that very spot just a few moments prior, called the bear by name and told us he was a fairly common sight in the area, but because of his advancing age, he was considered an extreme threat to humans.

He postulated that because of the flying poncho and the unearthly wail emanating from an enigma, the likes of which he most likely had never seen before, made ol' Bruin decide to forgo an easy, probably tasty meal, and get the hell out of Dodge.

Sadly, in the 6 week period after we left, there were several attacks credited to this bear and he was euthanized after one in which he destroyed the bed-mounted cover of a pickup, in pursuit of several hot dogs that had already been grilled, but then left uneaten, and been carelessly tossed in the back of the truck.

The later necropsy, as attested to by my cousin, the aforementioned Ranger, revealed that the poor bears mouth was a Dentist's nightmare (or wet dream, depending on ones' outlook)...broken teeth, teeth worn practically to the gum line, teeth that had rotted to the point that he would have experienced severe pain upon biting in the the usual grizzly bear style.

Anecdotally speaking, of course.

We need to bring back broader usage of the word jackanape

Only if people spell it correctly, i.e. jackanapes.

Grizzlies do not climb trees.

If you climb a tree to get away from a grizzly, he will come back with a beaver...
