Claud the Kung Fu Bear

That is Claud the Kung Fu bear from Hiroshima City, Japan. You can see another video here, and here is Claud’s story:

A bear at a zoo in Hiroshima City, western Japan, is drawing applause from visitors with his performance of twirling a stick.

Claud, a male Asiatic black bear at Asa Zoo, began twirling a branch when he was playing with it 5 years ago. The zoo operator says that the bear stopped the twirling after he grew up but resumed it 2 months ago.

This day, he used his mouth to pick up a stick like a pole weighing about 5 kilograms - his recent favorite — and handled it intensely with his hands, legs and neck.

Visitors said they were surprised to watch such a large bear handle the stick so skillfully.

His breeder said he doesn’t know why the bear likes to twirl sticks but his performance is really powerful. LINK, Via: Youtube
