A family vacationing in remote Maryland woodland claim to have found a real life Yogi Bear who strolled up while they were eating a picnic and decided to join them.

In a video posted to TikTok by Kaitlyn Nesbit, a black bear can be seen perched on the edge of a picnic table waiting patiently while a man makes it a peanut butter sandwich.

It then chows down on the sandwich straight out of the brave man's hand as amazed onlookers shout their disbelief.

Nesbitt, 29, says she captured the moment on Thursday in Deep Creek where her family are staying in a cabin.

'This was a friend's cabin and they said that the bear is always around and never really bothers them,' Nesbit, a bridal store manager, told Caters.

'Some of our group are used to being out in the wild so we were all told to not make sudden movements and stay where we were.

'Most of us were scared to death and filmed from the deck but the brave tested their luck.'

It joined four men and a woman at one of the tables who look nervously on as the hungry creature waits to be served.

Cute and photogenic but a bad idea.

What? No beer? How’s a bear supposed to wash down that peanut butter sandwich?

Well, funny and lucky. Black bears matter. Next weeks headline will likely be “Man loses arm in fight over PB&J”

My guess, the 4 folks at the table drank the entire 30 pack of beer the hour before this photo.

I wondered if the Miller Lite had any bearing on this situation, too.

[a fool in paradise]

30 beers and no arm wrestling contest?

[Demiurge2]

It’s pronounced “pick-a-nick” basket.

They have sentenced the bear to death
Once it loses fears of humans, it will walk up to someone who kills it
Sad. Idiots.

[Kickass Conservative]

Why one would anyone in their right mind have their Picture taken while they were drinking a Miller Lite? The embarrassment factor is not even measurable.

(Yeah, I know that Gas Monkey guy drinks that swill but I’m sure he gets a nice Check from Miller)

That would haunt you the rest of your Life because the Internet is forever.

Photoshop.

Empty Miller Lite box, figures!

A fed bear is a dead bear.

This should be illegal. Maybe it is.
