When Mandy Stantic and her family were exploring the area around Lac Brochet in Northern Manitoba in search of black bears, she came across something that compelled her to pull out her camera and start snapping some pictures almost immediately. A wild bear was observed lounging on an abandoned sofa, where he seemed to have made himself at home and was completely at ease.
The bear was unwinding in the same manner as a person would; he had one leg casually crossed over the other, and he had one arm resting on the armrest. “I guess this particular bear had eaten his fill and was ready to relax on the couch,” Stantic told The Dodo. “All he needed was some popcorn and Netflix.” She mentioned that there was even an abandoned television in front of him, which made the scene even more hilarious.
From the safety of their vehicle, Stantic and her family watched the bears and couldn’t contain their laughter as they watched them. “It’s all forest surrounding the dump for hundreds of miles,” Mandy shared. “There’s more than enough to eat for them, but the berries aren’t out yet in the spring and garbage is easy pickings so that’s why they all congregate there.”
Before continuing on her way, Stantic took some photographs of the sleeping bear and then moved on, but she will never forget the hilarious moment she witnessed. “You don’t see that very often. He’s just posing just like a person,” she said. After his pictures were posted on various social media platforms, this black bear has become a viral sensation on the internet.
