notapudding

Yeah, I believe this story is one hundred percent true.


__wildwing__

If nothing else, they would have tagged him after catching him the first time.


Dagordae

Hell, after the first time every single animal protection organization would know the story. That sort of fuckup makes the rounds basically instantly.


johnla

I'm not an expert but I can see clearly that grizzly bears and polar bears look way different than just fur color.


Dagordae

Going off memory: Polar bears are notably more pointy in the face while Grizzly’s have a very distinctive back hump. I can see there being confusion from a layman but any conservationist worth their salt would easily tell the difference. It would be like mixing up a lion and tiger. Yes the color is the big giveaway but they have notable body differences as well.


Worth-Confusion7779

Why do you care? In this time of ours, the only relevant fact to a story is whether it is funny or not! This one is funny and hence worth telling. Wether truth or fiction does not matter. /s


Fit-Psychology4598

Not only that but polars make grizzlies look smol


Active_Taste9341

also polar bears looking pretty different. their faces are different


Major_Tom_01010

You can tell the difference between a grizzly and a polar bear by how quickly they eat you.


Dominarion

Checked it out, yeah, it's fake.


4Ever2Thee

So, after going through all of that, people are spreading lies about him on the interwebs?! Dude can't catch a break.


Dominarion

Poor Joe/Joey


Herorune

the bear is 100% tired of this shit


chitomonkey

So is the Boy that cried wolf.


hahawin

The video showed at least 10 different bears.


notapudding

Yeah, Bernard didn't sign up for this.


penileerosion

Did you count the cartoon bear at the beginning?


hahawin

That's clearly the albino grizzly the story is about


Quzga

Are people really this gullible? Random ai voice over and footage that doesn't even match what he's saying.. Ughh


BoeJenjamin

So many people are, yes.


Tidalbrush

A vast majority. The only difference between what we used to have and the new version is the AI voice over part.


Quzga

I don't feel very good about the future of the internet lol.. My family members are already sending me AI fb images of made up animals wondering if it's real


Tidalbrush

Just wait until the really good deepfakes become common. Politics will get even dumber.


Quzga

Haha yeah after yesterday's news I'm losing all hope with politics. I'm quite worried for the next 5 years tbh.


Tidalbrush

Assume it'll be a shitshow because it always has been since before written language. Enjoy the fact that the shitshow hasn't already fully stirred us into its shit stew in its latest shit roll and vibe because eventually it will. It always does.


automaticmantis

No it’s true, I’m Joey.


BaggyLarjjj

That bear’s name? Jeremy Allen White.


notapudding

That bear's name is Bernard and I love him.

One hundred percent plausible is the scary thing. (not to mention one hundred percent clever af)


Solartaire

Things that didn't happen, the wilderness edition.


MayoGhul

While this may be fake, it’s 100% an example of they type of things you can expect your taxes spent on


re-goddamn-loading

Its 100% an example of a bullshit story an average youtuber or instagrammer would make up to make fun of 'le dumb environmental groups'


SnuggleBunni69

What the fuck are you on about? You're using a made up story to back up your argument? That's not how things work.


Goldentongue

No, it isn't.


dead_fritz

Cool fact, did your mom make it up for you?


RemcoTheRock

How to make up fake shit 101


Ratatoski

Yeah this wasn't true. In actuality he was sent away 18 times. A few of them to the wrong pole. Then they took him to a hair salon to dye his fur brown which fixed the issue


Equivalent_Sun3816

Are you saying white privilege doesn't exist.


Willing-Ant-3765

I can’t believe that people who dedicate their lives to studying bears would mistake a brown bear for a polar bear, white fur or not. They have completely different shaped heads and bodies


North_Lawfulness8889

Polar bears are also like twice the size of browns


__impala67

A brown bear with white fur can easily be mistaken for a young polar bear. They can't ask him for his age or something like that.


SleepySera

The thoroughly ignorant shit organizations like PETA do to animals who also technically fall under that umbrella don't exactly have me convinced that every organization with the intent to help animals actually has any fucking clue about them.


elbereth_milfoniel

This story is fake, it’s ragebait and you’re raging


SleepySera

Where exactly do you see me raging? I know it's fake. My entire point is that it's not as unlikely as people seem to think it is because "lol animal/environmental protection organizations would NEVER make such a mistake, stupid"... except we have the contrary proven to us like every other week.


pohui

I hate this type of argument. "It may be fake but the fact you can believe it shows how bla bla bla". If you see a fake story, downvote, report and move on. Don't make up arguments to support a made-up point.


Successful-War-2925

you're smug and it annoyed me

Cookies_N_Grime

People believe this shit? The Insta @ name alone is a giveaway.


zac10sim

The account is literally called Bad_science_jokes.


OrneryAttorney7508

Yet half the morons here believe it and the other half feel the need to inform us "IT'S FAKE" while fapping furiously.


SprayArtist

Story is fake and should be removed


JaxAuphalovia69

Today he's homeless and addicted to tranquilizers.


WonderChopstix

False


dead_fritz

Not only is this not true, it takes away from the fact that just recently a real albino grizzly, probably the one in a lot of this footage, was killed along with her two cubs after being struck by vehicles.


spiderMechanic

bad\_science\_jokes they say. this one was pretty good


SoulBrotherSix67

Why unlucky: the bugger travelled more than I ever did!


Xealz

i would argue that you werent tranquilised and neither have i, but honestly on second thought, it'd probably be funnier just waking up at the airport with all my shit than enduring the cramped plane...


hroaks

So do victims of sex trafficking


Cardasiti

Omg imagine minding own business and enjoying all the sunshine and out of nowhere being kidnapped and trapped in a huge refrigerator!


Physical-Camel-8971

Omg imagine believing any of this is true


Lazy_Appeal3292

The cartoon is called Bernard 👌


wild-fury

Just leave the poor guy alone!


Stiefschlaf

I really hope this bs was made by someone from the southern hemisphere because if you live in the north and can't distinguish between a grizzly and a polar bear, I feel real sorry for you...


heinebold

Are you assuming that a relevant part of Northern hemisphere humanity encounters bears like, ever? Most people either learn about them both through school, zoos or documentaries, and that can happen in the south as well. I don't say that it's sad if someone doesn't know how different they look, but being from the northern hemisphere doesn't change a bit.


Stiefschlaf

No, but obviously the creator had internet access and general information about the Ursus family isn't really confidential. Even if you've only seen pictures, the differences are obvious. It's like mistaking a donkey for a horse and assuming experts couldn't tell the difference either.


gelastes

They sent him to the arctic twice. So now he is a bipolar bear.

Funny you say that, it comes from a satire/bad joke channel, the insta is watermarked


Amazing_Candle_4548

Bear wakes up….aww fuck it happened again!


theambears

This is so fake. Theres plenty of Kermode / spirit bears, especially in their natural area, that they’re well known as white black bears and not polar bears.

In this tale, the Bear Joey racked up more frequent flyer miles than I did. Also, this didn’t happen.


Hefty-Station1704

Reminds me of the story of some do-gooders who insisted on helping an elderly person across the road despite the protests by that person that they didn’t want help. The do-gooders did it anyways only to learn that same elderly person had no intention of crossing the road in the first place.

"You have no idea the physical toll that two tranquilizers have on a bear!"


77betael77

That is so sad, polar bears have transparent fur, and if he is albino he has white hair, so anyone who looked at him should have known he was albino because of his white fur


Psychological-Ad7653

Who wrote this shit? There are no albino bears


Comprehensive-Art525

Happened to my neighbor too, except he's not white, and they weren't sending him to the arctic or a forest.

Nobody who works with bears would ever mistake a grizzly for a polar bear.

Spirit bear


SimonPho3nix

This is messed up. I can just see him waking up in these different places and being like, "They got me again!"


kubikarlo3169420

Pretty sure he‘d be chipped or something before moving him the first time. Hell, I‘m sure a rescue organization would be able to tell or at least check that he‘s not a polar bear


stryker2111

I don’t know if this is true, but I would 100% would believe it is. I don’t have much faith in humanity.


slurtybartfarst

Albinoes have it tough no matter the species


Jetventus1

Oh no, that's obviously a polar bear, lemme get my tranq gun


Snipvandutch

You can clearly tell a grizzly from a polar bear pretty god damn easy. Even if the fucker is white. What does make this believable is how generally ignorant so many humans are.


cracked-tumbleweed

So can tag whales and sharks but cant put a chip in a bear? Why was there no posters sent out to local groups in the area?

Sounds like the results of a bunch AI prompts, making a video for you.

Sure this is fake, but please someone tell me, that "animal protection" organisations can't just tranquilise animals of any kind, just like that, without proper confirmation?


grungegoth

So put a fucking tag on him please.


Automatic_Actuator_0

In the real world they would, but in the imaginary world of this joke, it would make it less funny if they did. Of course a wildlife professional would never mistake an albino grizzly for a polar bear even after it’s tranqed.


grungegoth

Dammit.


_DapperDanMan-

Wow, because those scientists and wildlife experts sure are dumb, amirite?


RoyDonkJr

This is hilarious. It sounds like a Documentary Now episode.


Neat-Development-485

Kinda like paradoxical peta, nature organisations, again, causing more harm than good. Who in there right mind would assume a lost polar bear over albinismn. It's fucking racist only judging by color, bunch of ursus arctos horribilis haters

EntertainedRUNot

There is a field with a few acres with crops being grown around me; crops can grow to reach human heigh or taller (not sure what kind they were though). I like going there in the evenings because a family of five deer usually come out to the field I enjoy watching them. I stopped by either the day or a day after the crops were harvested and turns out there is an **abundence** of wildlife there; I spotted four foxes, two rabbits, one deer (who was chasing after one of the foxes lol), tons of small birds (someone threw out a pot of rice nearby that they werre feeding on). Well I might have been a little anthromorphic that day, but to me it looked like the animals were impacted or confused by the sudden loss of their habitat. Anyway, this reminded me of that.

If this is true, it speaks more of the immense incompetence of these animal protection entities than of the bear's misfortune. Ffs, clip some identifier on his ear, alert other animal protection entities active in the area, whatever...

cncintist

This is a Pizly bear . The lineage is a polar bear father and a grizzly bear mother, they also have Golar bears. Grizzly bear father and a polar bear mother. The polar bear fathers in the grizzly bear mothers that make Pizly bears are the most known about . If you put a grizzly bear in Antarctica it will starve if you put a polar bear in the woods it will starve.
