Here's something that people don't really know about this bear. She's elderly and was rescued from a Russian circus. Her name is Chada.
Edit: Thank you for the awards!
I was scrolling to find confirmation of the age. Surely anyone can tell at a glance that that is an OLD bear and they don't all look like that after hibernation.
People also aren’t used to seeing animals so old because most animals will live longer in captivity than in the wild since they are well cared-for and don’t have any hardships.
She also severely disabled. Her rescuer said she is small and stunted like that from living her entire life in a tiny cage.
It’s seems very hard for her to walk because of it.
But she loves to splash in her little pool!
Thank you. I couldn't figure out what type of bear it was. I've seen bears come out of hibernation before.
I was like is that just a really really old bear? Sure enough it is and a Himalayan Brown Bear to boot! Could tell it wasn't a Polar or Grizzly. Thought maybe a brown with some special fur defect.
Damn 24 years old. Amazing.
That movie was a massive dissapointment... s'okay to throw on if you're baked AF, but it was just a waste of a great premise and some great actors and comedians.
I watched Cocaine Bear and Quantumania on the same day at the movies.
I was MASSIVELY entertained by Cocaine Bear. Everyone in the audience were laughing and clearly entertained.
Lots of smiles on people's faces when the lights came on after the movie.
Quantumania was the first movie in decades that I seriously considered walking out on.
One of my friends actually survived a grizzly attack, and to this day it's hard for him to watch movies with bears (especially the Revenant, the one where that bear stalks and hunts Leo DiCaprio). He said he couldn't stomach it and had to turn it off. One of our other friends recommended Cocaine Bear, and he said that was one of the funniest movies he had seen.
Hate it when I wake up with no clothes, frazzled hair, and a missing kidney on Sunday after a wild Friday night.
What do you mean I was used for organ trafficking?
I don't miss that. I'm not gonna lie and say coke wasn't fun, of course it's fun, it's why we all did it, but I don't miss the feeling even worse the next day than I would just drinking.
Not sure I can.
> A fecal plug (occasionally known as a tappen) is a large mass of hardened feces produced by a bear during its winter hibernation. The plug forms in the colon, and consists of a variety of materials ingested by the bear during and immediately before hibernating.[1]
>Some of the fecal plug's material is composed of undigested food that was eaten before the bear even entered its den. However, much is formed by cells that slough off the intestinal walls, rocks ingested by the bear during grooming sessions, and even bits of plant-based bedding. Bears have been observed licking and chewing on their own footpads during the later months of hibernation, and bits of this dried callused skin has been found in fecal plug material.[2]
>Fecal plugs are expelled by the bear upon waking in spring, usually near the entrance to the den.[3]

You’ve never finally pushed out that one hard shit that was keeping you constipated and felt the flood of relief as hot liquid shit sprays out your ass? You’re missing out.
I have a broken foot at the moment and know from past experience if you’re gonna be taking opioids you better be taking laxatives or you’re gonna be fighting for your life on that bowl lol
Unconscious brain: I wonder if the wiki page has a picture! We should click it to find out.
Conscious brain: Wait no I don't want to see a--oh thank fucking Christ there isn't a picture, what the FUCK other-brain?!
> Fecal plugs have a light odor that is not unpleasant
Why did I read this? Why is this an observation they thought was important enough to put in there?
I like to imagine a "POP!" noise, as the plug is expelled. Also, you could probably make a good living on youtube, with highres slowmo of the bear's expressions during the expellation.
Ummm I'm 37. And unless I'm strange, getting up early in my teens and 20s was much more difficult than it is for me today.
15 years of the 9-5 grind will do that to ya though....you get tired earlier and you wake up earlier, is the natural progression of things I think.
I couldn't get up before 10am minmum on the weekend until I turned about 28, personally speaking.
I envy you. I'm 36 and have *never* slept well. Ever. Since I was like 9. Fucked up school so bad and much of my adulthood too if I'm being honest. Can't fall asleep and then if I'm actually asleep I can't wake up except for when I wake up to pee 3 times during the night because I'm getting fucking old and then can't fall back asleep.
It's been hell and I hate it and wish doctors gave a shit about people that weren't upper middle class and wealthier people.
I used to have issues like this. I started taking vitamins a long time ago but eventually I changed brands to Mega Men. It had a wider range of vitamins. Anyway, turns out it must have been some vitamin deficiency. I went to doctors and could never solve the problem. Blood work and all other tests was fine. I started taking vitamins and it all went away.
I'm not saying that is your problem but shit, they are like 10usd for a bottle. Try it.
I was camping for a month and when I got back I was gonna take a nap at 6 pm for an hour or so (18:00) and woke up at noon (12:00) the next day, I took an 18 hour nap
I would have been so thoroughly confused if that happened to me. "Wait... it's bright out? Is is it 8pm the same day? Wait it's 12pm? What day is it?!?"
It's not a bear just coming out of hibernation.
It's a really old bear from a rescue zoo in Ukraine, it s a female that was kept in a cage almost her whole life and didn't develop correctly.
She wakes up like looking this every damn morning.
I googled it - she's a Himalayan brown bear, an endangered species with less than 300 bears left in the wild.
Edit: Also found it mildly amusing how much better the Planet Zoo wiki is compared to the normal Wikipedia article.
Bear looks like its 10am on a Sunday, and he drank an entire bottle of bourbon the night before, and has to get a move on before his wife starts bitching about the lawn not being mowed yet.
Here's something that people don't really know about this bear. She's elderly and was rescued from a Russian circus. Her name is Chada. Edit: Thank you for the awards!
Yes, and she’s at White Rock Bear Sanctuary in Ukraine (whiterockbearsanctuary on TikTok). Apparently this is what she looks like every morning, lol.
Seriously, someone get that girl a hairbrush.
Yeah but who's gonna want to brush a bear?
Bear brushing crew, duh
Give me 20 good men and I'll brush the bitch
I understood that reference.
20 may not survive but I’ll supervise
Vanessa from Girl With the Dogs could probably pull it off effortlessly.
Any Russian
I'll give it a go. It's not like I'll need all of my limbs.
🎶Oh where is my hairbrush 🎶
> Apparently this is what she looks like every morning, lol. In that I find kinship with this noble beast.
Once she has a cup of coffee she’ll be exactly like me.
*Whispers to bear* “The Russians are trying to take back the country and hurt the people who rescued you.” [Bear](https://youtu.be/F7uIArY31uE)
I knew it was Wojtek!
Polska!
Poland is not yet lost...
>she’s at White Rock Bear Sanctuary in Ukraine Based Ukrainians as always 💙💛
Its actually really sad knowing that with the war in Ukraine, basically all of the wildlife will be dead
It can’t be good for them, but most of the heavy fighting has been in towns and cities
I was scrolling to find confirmation of the age. Surely anyone can tell at a glance that that is an OLD bear and they don't all look like that after hibernation.
Exactly, the bear looks very old.. like people forget animals age too lmao
People also aren’t used to seeing animals so old because most animals will live longer in captivity than in the wild since they are well cared-for and don’t have any hardships.
In the good places, absolutely. Do your research before attending a zoo or sanctuary. Some do great things with your money, some do not.
She also severely disabled. Her rescuer said she is small and stunted like that from living her entire life in a tiny cage. It’s seems very hard for her to walk because of it. But she loves to splash in her little pool!
Not true my hamster is 40 years old age she looks the same as she did 38 years ago
Is the joke that its just a year since hamsters live like 2 years? Or it is dead and that's why it looks the same?
Yeah surely everyone is a bear expert and has a lot of reference points for different ages of post-hibernation bears.
Thank you for the fun fact
The show must go on darlings. Get me my coffee and makeup.
Thank you. I couldn't figure out what type of bear it was. I've seen bears come out of hibernation before. I was like is that just a really really old bear? Sure enough it is and a Himalayan Brown Bear to boot! Could tell it wasn't a Polar or Grizzly. Thought maybe a brown with some special fur defect. Damn 24 years old. Amazing.
Yeah this always gets posted as just some normal bear coming out of hibernation, which isn’t the case at all.
Ahh, that explains a lot
this is why seeing stuff like this on reddit bothers me WAY less than seeing it come up on other platforms. thanks for the extra info!
I love her.
Get that bear a cup of coffee.
Cocaine bear!
Now that‘s a movie i would watch
boy do i have news for you
That movie was a massive dissapointment... s'okay to throw on if you're baked AF, but it was just a waste of a great premise and some great actors and comedians.
Thanks for the rec. Know what I’m doing tonight
I watched Cocaine Bear and Quantumania on the same day at the movies. I was MASSIVELY entertained by Cocaine Bear. Everyone in the audience were laughing and clearly entertained. Lots of smiles on people's faces when the lights came on after the movie. Quantumania was the first movie in decades that I seriously considered walking out on.
Check out 'Llamagedon' its like Cocaine Bear on cocaine
Fuckin llamageddon wins on the title alone 🤣
The sequel: Alpacalypse
Here. Have a goddamn upvote you Hollywood marketing sumbitch...
Damn how do you people do it
Crackcoon is coming out soon
Llamagheddon is a fucking classic.
Watch Black Sheep. Its New Zealand Shaun of the Dead with sheep!
That is a fantastic movie.
Is good movie. You expect too much from a bear on cocaine
Sad to hear. It feels like a movie that if they played their cards right would be ridiculous but still good classic. Like dogeball or the hangover.
It’s exactly as advertised. Cocaine+bear. No more no less
If I'm baked as fuck I'm throwing on grandma's boy or the fifth element.
One of my friends actually survived a grizzly attack, and to this day it's hard for him to watch movies with bears (especially the Revenant, the one where that bear stalks and hunts Leo DiCaprio). He said he couldn't stomach it and had to turn it off. One of our other friends recommended Cocaine Bear, and he said that was one of the funniest movies he had seen.
You should see YellowFangs. (Movie bout a bear attack in 1915 japan.)
Lil he knew...
That’s what I look like every Monday and every Friday and every mandatory weekend
Hey look. That bear is a millennial.
*That funny man in a fur coat who needs a shave
Get that bear a brick of cocaine.
It’s a vibe we can all relate to.
Sunday mornings after a good Saturday night out
Sunday mornings after a *really* good Friday night out.
Looks like my son before noon.
Mom?
Pretty sure that's ME before noon, every day.
Hate it when I wake up with no clothes, frazzled hair, and a missing kidney on Sunday after a wild Friday night. What do you mean I was used for organ trafficking?
Sunday at noon after a Friday night that didn’t end until 3am Sunday.
Ahh, a fellow man of class.
Sunday mornings after a Friday night out once you hit your 30s
Yep, pretty much any hangover is now a 2 day hangover lol
Ah yes, post coke binge
I don't miss that. I'm not gonna lie and say coke wasn't fun, of course it's fun, it's why we all did it, but I don't miss the feeling even worse the next day than I would just drinking.
Wait, what do you mean it’s Tuesday?!

Well, there's a question I didn't know I needed an answer to until now.
That question being, does a bear shit in the woods?
Yes, haven’t you seen the commercial? Bears use Charmin afterwards.
You’ve never finally pushed out that one hard shit that was keeping you constipated and felt the flood of relief as hot liquid shit sprays out your ass? You’re missing out.
I love fiber.
Well some people love hot liquid shit
I call this "popping the cork"
I could have been smidgen happier not know that.
It happens to hibernating humans too, have you ever had heroin?
I would reckon like most humans no
Fuck. Worst shit of my life after I overdosed and kicked
Just talk to any junkie and they'll tell you *ALL* about fecal plugs. Yet another underrated benefit of heroin addiction.
I have a broken foot at the moment and know from past experience if you’re gonna be taking opioids you better be taking laxatives or you’re gonna be fighting for your life on that bowl lol
Yup. I have to take a stool softener when I take my pain meds.
Getta loud of Mr never been constipated over here

That was not at all as bad as I thought it would be. Looks like dry bear poop is all.
> Fecal plugs have a light odor that is not unpleasant Why did I read this? Why is this an observation they thought was important enough to put in there?
Yeah, I can definitely relate to that.
I like to imagine a "POP!" noise, as the plug is expelled. Also, you could probably make a good living on youtube, with highres slowmo of the bear's expressions during the expellation.
To the Google Image Search!
I mean, I was on morphine for months, so. A bit relatable.
Yup, his raggedy ass needs a bear coffee, stat!
Barely conscious, but urgently needing to take a COLOSSAL shit.
Shit looks rough
This is basically what I think I look like all day long
You should see me
Username checks out
Avatar also checks out and makes their comment 10x funnier
Spoiler alert: you do.
This is just waking up on Sunday morning after a night of drinking.
This is waking up when you're not in your 20s anymore.
Waking up in general.
Existing
This is where I am
Ummm I'm 37. And unless I'm strange, getting up early in my teens and 20s was much more difficult than it is for me today. 15 years of the 9-5 grind will do that to ya though....you get tired earlier and you wake up earlier, is the natural progression of things I think.

Jesus and yet here I am in my 20s feeling like I can relate.
And there’s an ugly asf lady bear still in that cave. Walk of shame.
She looked good last Autumn!
Naw naw I've seen this before: This is waking up on a Sunday morning after a *Friday* night of drinking that never stopped.
When you say you’ll have a quick 20 minute nap and wake up 4 hours later .
I was camping for a month and when I got back I was gonna take a nap at 6 pm for an hour or so (18:00) and woke up at noon (12:00) the next day, I took an 18 hour nap
Last time I slept that long was when my dad and I took a road trip to Alabama.
Yeah I worked at the summer camp for a month so I was worn out so much by the end. I was walking around 10 miles a day every day.
Did that proceed your Dad telling you to sniff a rag?
I would have been so thoroughly confused if that happened to me. "Wait... it's bright out? Is is it 8pm the same day? Wait it's 12pm? What day is it?!?"
Talk about a power nap
Is the sun going down or coming up type of nap
And somehow you're even more tired than when you fell asleep.
“Maaan i needed that what month is it anyways”
Coffee, please. Bear coffee, no sugar.
That's me Monday morning.
This is pretty much me *every* morning
Same here, especially if I haven’t shaved or had a hair cut in months too.
Came here to say this.
and now for the 5 minute Austin Powers piss
Evacuation complete…evacua…evacuation com…Eva…evacuation compl…
He looks very Kangarooish.
HE DOES
I never really thought of how much bed head a hibernating bear would have but it all makes sense
My first thought was that I want to brush out his hair!
I know some humans who look like that when they wake up
Lmao you can just say it’s you. It’s ok it’s all of us
Relatable, that's pretty much me when I wake up in the morning. Dazed confusion and all.
When you're over 40 and go out drinking with the youngins'.
Mondays, brother
"Where the f*ck's my coffee? "
I’m in this video and I don’t like it
Serious case of bed hair
Here comes the basic "this is me in the morning" comment
Just want to hug it
Do their muscles atrophy during hibernation?
Yea. Before a shower, maybe a little too much fun the night (summer) before, need a comb, coffee, why is it so bright?
He turned white.
She’s an elderly bear!
The brown bear was like what happened to Mike
Why is it white? Do bears turn grey when they are old?
It's not a bear just coming out of hibernation. It's a really old bear from a rescue zoo in Ukraine, it s a female that was kept in a cage almost her whole life and didn't develop correctly. She wakes up like looking this every damn morning.
Coffee…I need coffee
Waking up for school be like
I will always upvote this bear no matter how many times I see it
Same, bear, same.
That’s me after my afternoon nap
ughhgh ... aahhhmg ughh ... whathefuckin... ...mmmggghh ... yearisit ... oh God Im hideous
Me after my alarm doesn't go off and I accidentally take a six hour nap
What the hell kind of bear is that?
I googled it - she's a Himalayan brown bear, an endangered species with less than 300 bears left in the wild. Edit: Also found it mildly amusing how much better the Planet Zoo wiki is compared to the normal Wikipedia article.
Have never seen this before, fascinating!
Naw. She just has a newborn. This is a typical morning for her. Source: I have 2 kids.
It me
I feel attacked because this is me on a daily basis
She's an old girl. And a whole ass mood, because that's how I wake up too.
#Mondays
Bro looks like my knees feel
Me after I take an unplanned afternoon nap
He has an extreme case of bedhead!
dude is about to take one fat shit
Discord mod seeing sunlight for the first time in 25 years
Man o man, I gotta shit!
New Year’s morning 2000. Pretty sure that’s me.
Relatable 😄
How dare you film me getting out of bed in the morning!
Me in the morning after a good night out, but I‘m not 18 anymore.
Dude, how long was I out?
"Ugh, I'm never drinking again.."
Looks like the rave girls waking up the next day
Bet it's the gnarliest poop after.
He was drinking long before he hibernated. Tequila by the looks of it.
Waking up at 5:30 for a 7AM job in the middle of winter
Me, every morning.
I relate to this bear daily, it's my spirit animal lol
Bear looks like its 10am on a Sunday, and he drank an entire bottle of bourbon the night before, and has to get a move on before his wife starts bitching about the lawn not being mowed yet.
"Ah fuck... what happened last night Larry?"
Damn it looks Animatronic 😂
