Who said bears can’t climb ladders? And this one understands English, too!

[The Dragon Master]

It was man: one, bear: nil when a man up a tree captured this footage of him giving the animal a stern talking to.



From his position up the tree, the man films the bear padding around on the ground and walking toward a ladder resting on the tree.



The bear reaches the ladder and starts to climb it, pausing briefly for a quick snack on some dangling foliage.

Spoiler

Hunting: The bear can be seen in the distance, walking toward the tree the man is filming from

Best paw forward: It timidly begins its assent of the ladder

Unusual: It is not normal behaviour for bears

Caught in the act: The bear looks up in shock as the man asks: 'Hey, what you doing there?'

Retreat: The bear gets cold feet and decides to go back down

I'm off: The bear scarpers away from the ladder, presumably in search of some less vocal food

Though I just think the bear stopped since the guy shouted at the poor thing

This guy is very lucky that the bear decided to walk away. While they are beautiful animals, they can also be very aggressive. I live in what was called Black Bear Country and the bears attacked pets that were outside. They also broke into peoples homes and totally destroyed the inside looking for food. I came very close to being chased by a black bear while I was outside hanging laundry. I knew not to run so I just stood my ground and waved my arms in the air. The bear didn't like that he he ran back in the woods. Beautiful animals from afar but not when they get that close.

Soon they'll be stealing ladders and using them to get on the roof!
