"bear" news and stories

It's something of a mystery as to where the FOX network gets some of their programming ideas, so the original inspiration for this particular segment is anyone's guess. Since Takeru Kobayshi can out-eat just about anybody, FOX decided to have him face off against a Kodiak bear - an 8-ft tall, 1000-lb animal - in a hot dog eating competition.

The clip is pretty funny, actually. The announcers treat it almost like a wrestling match and the best line is when they start to talk about the bear's technique vs. Kobayashi's. "[The bear] has a very different approach to eating. See, he looks away and he takes a break. He doesn't know it's a competition. He's just a natural eating machine." For his part, Kobayashi definitely knew it was a competition and didn't take his eyes off the bear.

Who emerged victorious? You'll have to watch the clip to find out, but I will say that someone is already eagerly awaiting a rematch.

In the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Goldilocks broke into the bears' house and at their porridge. In West Vancouver, one of the bears decided to turn the tables on the tale by breaking into a kitchen and settling in for a lovely bowl of oatmeal. The 2-year old bear - Baby Bear, perhaps - entered a home through a partially open sliding glass door, opened the pantry and started to eat from a ceramic container of oats, where he was discovered by the owner of the house.

The woman called the police, who decided that because the bear was neither aggressive towards humans nor was he doing anything besides eating the oatmeal, they would simply wait for him to leave. And when he felt 'just right,' he ambled out the door and back into the forest.
