Bears are some of the most dynamic creatures in the animal kingdom. We fear their attacks when camping, tie up 911 operators reporting non-threatening sightings, and it’s annoying when they dig through our garbage. But we also love bears – cuddly stuffed animals are one of the most iconic toys we give to our children, right up there with Barbie dolls and Legos.

They’re wild animals, but sometimes their instincts seem a little more… human. They have learned to sit in our chairs, respond with a wave, and perhaps even react in a way that seems more like a person than an animal. This amusing fact has led to the creation of a popular subreddit, Bears Doing People Things.

Stephen Colbert might not be too happy about America’s greatest threat becoming more like us in their mannerisms, but you have to admit that it’s pretty amusing. Keep reading for lots of hilarious bears doing people things.
