A pair of bears at a South Korean theme park stood up on their back legs and waved at people on a tour bus.
The bears live at Everland theme park in South Korea. When a tour bus drove by, one bear stood straight up and started waving at the people inside. His friend stood up too and put his paw on the first bear’s shoulder. The tourists watching couldn’t believe what they saw.
The bears knew exactly what they were doing. They opened their mouths and caught treats that people tossed to them. They wanted more snacks, so they kept performing.
One bear even ran next to the moving bus. He didn’t want the visitors to leave without remembering him.
Park workers said the bears do this every time a tour group comes through. They’ve learned that standing up and being friendly means they get food.
“Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!” – Luke 12:24
They’ve been ‘trained’ to walk on two legs but they weren’t designed to do that. We have to be careful we’re not supporting people to be cruel to animals!
