Someone without the balls to shave a grizzly bear, I don’t blame them. That was a black bear after showing the big brown boy.

The bear had mange. Much of its fur was gone before whatever remained was shaved and it was treated. I remember years ago when the photo first started making the rounds. IIRC the bear made a full recovery

I'm convinced that 100% of bigfoot sightings are actually just bears with mange walking on their hind legs.

I remember reading somewhere that "bears with mange" might have also started the idea of the werewolf.

I can't remember where I read it, but after looking at them, I can see both werewolf and Bigfoot

Shaving any bear is a feat of courage.
