It's impossible that they could hurt me

I'll never understand the evolutionary advantage of nature developing the friendliest fluffy soft ears and putting them on a 200kg apex predator.

They were cozing up to humans for the title of "ultimate hunting duo apex" but because they don't hunt during winter so the wolves won the contest.

I meeeean, lookin at this then the top of my bald ol head and not taking into account any other very valid arguments, I can see why people would choose bear over man in woods.

The fur covers their ears to prevent the screams of the people they're mauling from damaging their eardrums.

I don’t get it

The ears are cute

Ah, thanks. Unfortunately the real estate 6-12 inches south of those ears is ever so slightly less cute

Because they hunt by using their three-dimensional sense of smell.

An apex predator shouldn't have 30mph running speeds and 3d smell-o-vision. There is no God...

Whatever you got to tell yourself buddy. Don't worry, I'll mock you with your funeral.

The irresponsible pitbull owners mindset right there.

But they’re just a bear. You can trust them being brought into the house and left with the kids.
