A Very Talented Asiatic Black Bear

It’s a Ninja Bear!

An Asiatic Black Bear named Claude is entertaining visitors at a Japanese zoo in a very unique way — he twirls sticks like an acrobat. For hours and hours.

Claude lives in Asa Zoological park in Hiroshima. His obsession with sticks began when he arrived at the zoo six years ago. He stopped the twirling for a few years, but he picked up the trick again. The zoo has 15 sticks available for Claude.

The picture above comes from the new book “Thinkers Of The Jungle” by Gerd Schuster, Willie Smits and Jay Ullal.

As you can see, a male orangutan has used a long pole as a tool to spear and hunt for fish!

The picture was captured in Borneo on the island of Kaha. Conservations use the area to reintroduce and rehabilitate apes into the wild.

A Friendly Polar Bear!?!?

Polar bears and dogs can apparently get along!

The Daily Mail has a beautiful story and series of photographs about a “chance encounter” between a team of huskies and a polar bear — “Killer polar bear? I’m just a big teddy, really!“

There’s a great YouTube video that goes along with the story too…

Now where did I leave my keys?
