Hola hola Jumpiteerz! Do you remember Disney’s the Jungle Book? Do you remember Mowgli and his bear friend Baloo? In school we’re told that Bears are dangerous and we should stay away from me if ever get to encounter them in the wild (and you should! )but we’re curios to know if humans can be around them and maybe find out if Mowgli and Baloo aren’t just make believe.

You know we love to learn and one of our favorite things to learn about are animals so there’s no better place to look than National Geographic. Yipee! As we were looking at the new videos section and found a really cool video about bears in the wild and how people (highly trained) actually do get close to them. Yup those cute furry animals are actually rather friendly and according to the scientist they are more afraid of us humans.

Hope you enjoy the video and you should know there’s a really funny scene where the Bear is scratching his back against a tree a-la Baloo that really made us lauhg!
