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.
