Confirmation: Bears Can Stand On Two Legs And Walk

To be sure, there shouldn't be any more doubt that bears can actually stand on their hind legs and even walk upright, check out this video clip of the animals at Everland (Korean: ์—๋ฒ„๋žœ๋“œ; RR: Ebeoraendeu) in Yongin, a city in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea:

 

The bears in the footage weren’t identified – but I suspect they are brown bears. 

A Google search on the said animal steered me to the World Wildlife Fund website where it informs that brown bears (Scientific name: Ursus arctos) “can stand on two legs, walk on the soles of their feet, pick things up with their “fingers”, and often eat what we eat. This – coupled with their ability to communicate with one another through scratch marks left on trees, smells and sounds – establishes a similarity to our own way of life”. 

So now you know!
