Hello, fellow animal aficionados, how did your morning start? Because ours was bearfectly fine. It seems like we got up on the right side, with all the bear necessities already in place - the weather was kind, the coffee was warm, and the ride to work bearly had any trouble (Only one person on the bus who couldn't bear it anymore asked the driver to stop mid-way and let him off. But that's how public transport is sometimes). It seems that, at least until this very point, nothing that happened was too much of a bearden on our shoulders. Just a beary lovely morning to be up.

When we got to work, we gave a big bear hug to the office doggo, ate some bearkfast with our colleagues, and got right into work. Bearly anything unusual. And since this morning was full of bear puns (Can you even count them all? We bear you), the obvious thing for us to do was gather a full forest clearing of fluffy friend-shaped bear memes. Because nothing says a beary good morning like a bunch of burly bears with a pinch of human humor.

Look, we're not saying some bears can fix all your problems today. But some bear arms for a bear hug, some boopable bear snoots, and a whole lot of floofy fur with a soft vibe can't hurt. It can only make things beartter.

    Uncle Duke @UncleDuke1969 Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.

  • Thanks for the language lesson, Mother Nature. We'll know to distinguish the bears and the b's from now on much easily.

    WATCH FOR ICE
    via @wholesome-animal-images

  • Saying “watch for ice” to a polar bear is like saying “watch for trees” to a macaque monkey. Or like saying “watch for concrete” to every modern human. Like, yeah, it's there. Thanks for the reminder. Accidents will happen, but… we kind of noticed these things are there, literally making up our entire environment.

    Quote by a forest ranger at Yosemite National Park on why it is hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it: "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."

    SERVICE National Park Service @NatlParkService It is a common misconception that bears hibernate during the winter. While bears tend to slow down during the winter, they are not true hibernators. Black bears, Grizzly bears and Brown bears do go into a deep sleep during the winter months, known as torpor. National Park Service @NatlParkService At times, they will wake up and move about their dens, check their email, and briefly scroll Instagram before settling down again. (Bear: Im so tired. I sh
