As far as bizarre cases of mistaken identity go, this one is pretty high up on the list. A family in China had raised their "puppy" for two years before they decided it wasn't actually a puppy at all. What they had thought was originally a Tibetan mastiff was actually an Asiatic Black Bear. ...

Black bears make lousy party guests. If you didn't know that, this barbecue crashing black bear is here to show you why you don't want one on your guest list. See what we mean? This family was enjoying a perfectly great day of grilling when a black bear mosies up and wreaks havoc on their ...

We're not sure if this black bear was trying to give this golfer some putting tips or just get a quick hug, but you never know what to expect on the golf course. Let's just hope there wasn't a momma bear around!

Grizzly bears may not seem like they'd care much about being friendly, but the waving bears at the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Washington, aren't your typical bears. Like the bear in the video, they're known for taking a seat and giving a 'friendly' wave to tourists who pass by. This particular ...

If you're ever in grizzly country and think you see a dog paddling around the lake, you might want to think twice. These boaters investigated what they thought was someone's dog swimming in the lake but were in for a surprise when they got closer. It turned out to actually be a large and ...

Although you wouldn't want to find yourself face-to-face with a black bear or a grizzly, these bears are two different animals entirely.

There aren't many things worse than getting set up at your favorite fishing spot and having someone attempt to run you off.

We've seen a lot of messed up ways that people treat animals but this one is right at the top for the most messed up. We're all for hunting, but that's definitely not what this is. Killing any animal like these guys killed this bear when they ran it over with their truck is about as low as you ...

Apparently this black bear has eaten one too many salmon and thinks he's a stronger swimmer because of it. Some backpackers spotted two black bears in Yosemite and started making noise to scare them off. The camera man, who was camping nearby, joined in on helping to make them leave and one ends ...

This ain't a fight you want to be anywhere near! When these male grizzly bears hit mating season in Alaska, all bets are off. Brad Josephs captured this incredible footage showing grizzlies in a fight to the death — or fight till they're tired. They go hard at it for about 30 seconds before ...

It might look like this grizzly bear is just running around for the heck of it at first, but there's a reason behind it and it's not just for dinner. Besides showing off impressive speed that we'd never stand a chance at outrunning, she's also teaching her cubs to run after and eventually catch ...

It's a question people never want to have to find out the answer to firsthand — what would you do if a grizzly bear was charging you? Unfortunately, if you're ever in the outdoors in grizzly country, it's a question you just might find the answer to at some point in your life. Steven Rinella ...

Let's just say this huner ended up having a pretty crappy last day of bear season in Maine. After running the bear up a tree it looked like the bear had no other options but to either wait them out or get shot. Unfortunately, the guy standign below the bear didn't account for one option — the ...

Apparently, you don't need to play dead or grab a high-powered rifle if you're ever facing down a charging bear. Just ask this Swedish guy who literally scared the crap out of a large bear that was running at him. We're not sure what kind of magic mojo this guy had to be able to send a bear ...
