Video of bear chilling at the top of a tree proves their elite and frightening climbing skills

It’s that time of year again, folks, and I’m not talking about the holiday season.

Yes, it would appear as though we have reached the point where bear videos are hot on the internet.

We here at OutKick OutDoors have the market cornered on bear videos, as this will personally be my third story on a viral bear video in as many days.

Today’s teddy in question is a black bear in upstate New York who decided he wanted to get a better view of his surroundings.

Crystal Gugliotta of Plattsburgh, New York, said she and her husband were driving on Friday, November 6, when they spotted the bear and turned around to get a better look.

“I couldn’t believe how high he was and how those thin branches were holding him up,” Gugliotta said.

Now, we’ve all been told bears are excellent climbers, and if you are ever trying to get away from one, a tree is the last place you want to be.

But seeing how high up this little guy got, as well as how easily he’s balancing on that spindly tree is a tad bit frightening.

Sometimes we need a reminder of just how impressive these creatures can be, and Gugliotta’s video illustrates that perfectly.

This video is a good counter to the one of the black bear crossing the road in a busy South Florida neighborhood, too.

This is what it looks like when bears are comfortable in their natural habitat, and although the dizzying heights and frail branches look precarious to you and me, I can assure you the New York bear is infinitely safer than the Florida bear dodging traffic on I-75.
