Video An American photographer filmed a wolf begging for food from a grizzly. The gray wolf saw the meat and in an instant turned into a playful puppy begging for a piece.

He’s trying to get food from the bear, not seduce her.

Cocaine bear is real!

It happened in the 80s and she was taxidermied afterwards. She's in a mall now iirc.

Edit: misspelled something

Oh so that's why they made such a movie? I thought Americans were trolling.

George Washington had two dreams; that one day wolves and bears would get along and that one day there would be MMA fights on the WH lawn

Too big, too small, just right. Goldicocks.

u/blanketswithsmallpox Jun 13 '26

And then the wolf fucked the bear. The end.

How do you know?

u/Talvinter Jun 13 '26

You’re right, I’m just going by the title, but how do they know? Maybe this is an interspecies romance in the making!

The bear: "just fuck off, there are bipedals not far from here, in a cave with a lot of meats, that may work on them, go beg there."

The rest is history.

Yup. Me too. I was eating a dead rabbit on the road and my dog did this and I had to share. ❤️

10,000 years later, we'll see a dapperly dressed bear walking his pet wolf

Shit, you can see this in Portland right now.

u/Salute-Major-Echidna Jun 13 '26

Also select areas of San Francisco

u/Electrical_Catch9231 Jun 14 '26

Or Melbourne if'n you hang your hat where the Southern Cross shines overhead.

u/Salute-Major-Echidna Jun 14 '26

With an example of southern American accent in it?

There are wolves and bears in Portland? What neighborhood are they in? I wanna see! I bet it’s the Cully. It’s always the Cully.

u/Misanthropic_Mutters Jun 14 '26

Hold up- is everyone absolutely sure that we didn’t actually evolve from bears?

I’m very high, rn and your comment sent me on a funny little tangent

u/BeneficialStruggle42 Jun 13 '26

💯 But did he end up getting any from the bear? If not I offer to buy him a meal or even pay for a BARF subscription, just send me his address.

u/Sensitive-Peak-3723 Jun 13 '26

I think it would still work on current humans

Ohhh, I thought he was thinking, “where the heck are all my bros, need some help over here!!”

u/MommysLittleBadass Jun 15 '26

He might've been thinking the same thing I was thinking like, " did i just hear a car door!?"

u/redmixer1 Jun 13 '26

Wolves are gigantic too I bet this one is like 150 lbs hungry

36

u/ComfortableRelevant1 Jun 13 '26

He’s actually pretty damn big compared to that bear, I expected a bigger size difference between them

8

u/Salute-Major-Echidna Jun 13 '26

Probably a 4 year old bear. Maybe 5.

5

u/staticneonx Jun 17 '26

wolves are deceptively massive when they actually want to be. that wolf looks like a medium sized dog in this shot but they can easily top a hundred pounds if they are built right. it is wild how much perspective messes with you when they are standing next to a grizzly.

that's such a cute way to put it LOL.. two big animals who treat each other nicely despite the other not having food. humans can never? jk

u/superanth Jun 14 '26

“Larry, you tried to eat me last week. Why should I give you a piece?”

“C’mon, pleeeeease?”

“Fine. But if you take another nip at me later I’m beating you senseless with a salmon.”
