A Bear Decided to Take Up Boxing

In California, a bear unexpectedly found himself a new hobby. He found a boxing bag in a backyard — and, it seems, now considers it his own.

A resident of La Cañada filmed how the wild visitor regularly comes into her yard and, with obvious pleasure, batters the hanging boxing bag with his paws.

What's more, he does it not by chance and not just once, but quite confidently and with noticeable interest — as if he had long ago decided that ordinary walks through the forest were no longer enough for him and it was time to add some cardio with elements of martial arts.

From the outside, it all looks as if the animal has acquired his own little training corner.

No membership.

No trainer.

No time restrictions.

The gym is already hanging on a tree — all that's left is to come over and start training.

The video quickly spread online, because it's hard to remain indifferent to a bear who looks as if he's preparing for an important bout.

However, his mood, it seems, is quite different.

Not aggression, but pure pleasure.

It's just that some like honey, some like berries, and some like giving a boxing bag in a backyard a good pounding.

And if this bear one day puts on a robe and walks out to music, no one will be surprised anymore. 😄
