Hopefully, Tightrope-Walking Bears Just Waiting For The Right Time To Push Oppressors Down
Did you know that bears have a fear of heights? Apparently it is only surpassed by their fear of being beaten by their trainers. :(
Yeah, well, I have a fear of internet commenting and I'm still POWERING THROUGH IT.
I'm as much against bear beating as the next gal, but don't bears in the wild like climb trees and stuff? So maybe not so much with the fear of heights? Anyway, who knows, it's not like I have the whole internet at my fingertips and could just look this up.
@smartastic Tree climbing bears are considered particularly bad-ass by their ursine compatriots.
Russian circuses also have bears on ice skates. Which led me to this article:
Ice skating bear kills Russian circus hand
"Russia has a long-standing tradition of training bears to perform tricks such as riding motorcycles, ice skating, and playing hockey."
