What does a bear do in the woods? Now we know

The video even features some sound. You can read about the project in an article on the department's website.

    I imagine bears in the woods do exactly what bears any place else do. Only they do it with a bit more privacy until now.

    Oh so true.... just think, if that poor bear was human, some people would go to jail for pornography.
