Bear chills out on garbage dump's couch after a long day
Bears don't have any interest in your miserable standing desks, thank you very much.
Mandy Stantic was visiting a garbage dump in Northern Manitoba last spring when she came upon a black bear sitting on a discarded sofa. Stantic, whose photos just recently went viral, had specifically driven to the dump with her daughter to see the dump (god bless Canadian road trips) when she discovered the bear just lounging.
"The bears are always very active at the dump. This one must have been in the mood to relax after eating his full and climbed up on the couch to get comfortable," Stantic told Mashable.
"Not unusual to see bears at the dump, but to see one sitting just casual like a human was pretty unique and I had to take a picture."
According to Stantic, the dump is a common hang out spot for the area's local bears. What it lacks in greenery and pleasant odors it more than makes up for in bears lounging on La-Z-Bears.
All this bear needs is a lava lamp and some frozen pizza to become its spirit human, Al Bundy.
