Colorado's Parks and Wildlife Department will be patient enough to keep the park open after a round figure was spotted on a trail camera.
The “Sick Boy” black bear, spotted near Durango, Colorado by the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife's Southwest Department of Parks and Wildlife, has become a hot topic online for its incredible physique as it cradles its fluff for hibernation.
“We thought we had seen a very fat Durango bear before. But this one takes the cake. It probably took the cake too. All the cake,” Wildlife Conservation Service I wrote to X.
“Do you really want to know how much more this black bear thinks it needs to eat before it finds a den this year?” Video of a large black bear doing what it does best: eating I wrote this in a post featuring .
Durango is a small municipality closest to the New Mexico border, only about 320 miles from Denver.
The winter season is approaching and the bear is on a binge. This is a natural behavior as mammals eat and drink almost constantly in the fall in preparation for hibernation.
Black bears burn about 20,000 calories each day during binge feeding, and continue to do so until their food supply dwindles in early November, when they go into their dens to prepare for the winter.
“Why doesn't he roll over when he's sitting?” the state official asked.
The “absolute unit” bear joins the ranks of viral animals that have attracted attention for their bizarre physiques, including a rat found in Utah last week that was stuffed with more than cheese in a caboose.
