Eh, lady, you gonna rent me or stare?! Look at this fur, your cat aint got nothing on me. And mink, pfft, like walking astro turf compared to this coat. Tell ya what, throw in a bowl of milk, maybe some chunk tuna and Ill bring it down 10%. Is it a deal or wha?

4 joliesmom 04.29.08 at 6:45 pm

OMG, the squished nosicle.

5 Renae 04.29.08 at 6:45 pm

Smooshy nose! C’mer little bear, I’ll cuddle you to sleep. I’ll try to resist beeping your snozzle too much.

My new favorite yoga pose: downward-facing sleeping bear.

7 Claudia 04.29.08 at 6:48 pm

8 Karebear 04.29.08 at 6:48 pm

He’s all, no mom, I’m awake, really I am. Don’t put me to bed yet!

11 Glix 04.29.08 at 6:58 pm

Heh. I wasn’t seeing sleep as much as “…and bless this food for the nourishment of my body. Amen.”

12 Katie 04.29.08 at 7:01 pm

where’s his mom??

13 Sprock 04.29.08 at 7:04 pm

I’m at work. I’m really tired and my head is doing that “about to fall asleep bob.” No one is giving me a whole lot of empathy. **all huffy and stompy feet**

Oh wait, I’m not as cute as the sweepy bear cublet.

14 Courtney 04.29.08 at 7:10 pm

Awww… why doesn’t he just lie down and go to sleep like that doggie below the cart?

Mushed nosie…

15 Babs 04.29.08 at 7:11 pm

He’s just resting his eyes.

16 berthaservant 04.29.08 at 7:16 pm

Please tell me where is this magical land where baby bears smoosh their noses to go to sleep and the area is dotted with sleeping coyotes and other dogie critters just lazin’ around.

“And the skies, are not cloudy all dayyyyy……”

P.S. This bear is going to have some serious clawage.

17 Space Cowgirl 04.29.08 at 7:30 pm

Must be a slow news day.

18 Kar 04.29.08 at 7:35 pm

that’s me right now after lunch.

** must fight the carb coma **

19 chanpon 04.29.08 at 7:39 pm

Crikies, what did they spike that bowl next to him with?

20 harlemgrrl 04.29.08 at 8:02 pm

quick, give ursa a mani pedi before the triptophanes wear off!

21 diana 04.29.08 at 8:28 pm

Any Canadians able to play the vid? I wonder if CNN is another network that only allows U.S. access – or is it just me?

22 lou 04.29.08 at 8:35 pm

anyone else yawn when they saw this?! what a cute lil sleepy guy!

23 Diana 04.29.08 at 9:01 pm

Awwww!

24 Katrina 04.29.08 at 9:05 pm

I’m in Connecticut and I can’t play the video either. Feh.

But the pic is just so cute.
Yes, those are some claws!

25 rachel 04.29.08 at 9:49 pm

a sun bear! look at that pretty gold patch of fur on his chest. what an absolute cutie pie. i want to snuggle him :(

26 jmuhj 04.29.08 at 9:56 pm

OMigosh almoas az Qte as a kitteh SQUEEEEE!

27 turbofloof 04.29.08 at 10:04 pm

I saw this too and was waiting for it to appear on CO!

Where was this filmed? Sort of a strange place for a lone cublet and a few pups to be lazin’ about. A wildlife refuge or sumptin?

28 kittymom 04.29.08 at 10:13 pm

I’m not sleepin’ I’m just checkin’ my eyelids for holes….

29 Wombats 04.29.08 at 10:27 pm

To sleepies! Looks like a great idea. G’ night!

30 Corinne 04.29.08 at 11:12 pm

one of these days… i’ll be able to submit something first…

i had this video on repeat behind all my work windows today. too CUTE!

31 joyjoy 04.29.08 at 11:22 pm

Awww…smeepy little sunbear…come on over here…I have a nice smushy lap just for you!

*pet pet pet*

zzzzzzzzzzz

32 Jen 04.30.08 at 12:31 am

How is this cute? It is a wild animal that has clearly been removed from its natural habitat and is living on a work site instead of with its mother. Its not really all that cute when you think about it.

33 sue 04.30.08 at 12:46 am

hmmm….not seeing its mum doesnt mean that is separated from her….
it could be in a safe house, away from poaches n what nots.

but annneeewaaay…..he is the cutest beh-bee bear eva!!!! he’s all like “must…stay….awake…..to…watch…..afternoooon…..cartoons….” *beep goes the snozzle*

34 Vanessa 04.30.08 at 1:30 am

I’m gonna have to agree with Jen on this one. Yes, the bear is very cute, but you guys… LOOK AT WHERE HE IS! He’s on a wooden-wagon-thingie, with no food, and a bowl of water, and he seems to be stuck up there. All by himself. Obviously yanked from his natural habitat. For a website that claims to be pro-animal rights, this is a frightening video.

35 Vanessa 04.30.08 at 1:44 am

Sorry to post twice, but the more I watch this video, the more warning signs I see. If you guys look closely, you’ll notice that this bear has hardly any fur on his snout, mouth, and eyes. And his nose is dry and cracked-looking. I’m no bear expert, but isn’t that a warning sign of disease or malnutrition?

I hope to god this video was taken at some sort of rescue facility. =\

36 Anasztaizia 04.30.08 at 2:16 am

*Wonders where baby’s mama is*

Putting all concerns about why there is no GINORMOS mommy there to go RAWR…

*squee!* Nose Squish!

37 Anon 04.30.08 at 2:22 am

I bet Jen is a blast at parties.

38 ann 04.30.08 at 2:30 am

yesh yesh bay-bee was yanked from his natural habitat…but we is dont know what is reasons behinds it? meeybe is good reasonss!

and meeeeybe mama bear is scwleeping in on a bed inside the house and baby bear got left outside on the wagon, cos he didnt want to finish his porridge. he wants cheezburger

39 Gaby 04.30.08 at 3:23 am

If Stewie from Family Guy were a bear, that’s what he’d look like…

40 Hon Glad 04.30.08 at 5:50 am

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
smiles awake you when you rise
sleep little darling do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.

41 rachel 04.30.08 at 6:34 am

“you’ll notice that this bear has hardly any fur on his snout, mouth, and eyes”

that’s just lighter fur- it’s a characteristic marking on a sun bear

42 Julia (the one in BC) 04.30.08 at 6:50 am

I’m in Canada, and I can’t see the CNN video either.

However… some kind person has uploaded it to YouTube. Yay!!

(And now I know what the “smooshing” reference is about. Aww.)

43 caelus 04.30.08 at 8:10 am

look at those claws

44 KristoCat 04.30.08 at 12:48 pm

I LOVE the nose smoosh.

45 Babs 04.30.08 at 1:00 pm

Vanessa, where is this alleged claim? Meg’s site is for cute, not animal rights particularly. One may safely assume that the peeps here are animal lovers, but it would be a stretch to equate that to animal rights activists.

46 momof2kitties 04.30.08 at 1:12 pm

This looks just like my hooman kidlets.

“But, Momma, I not sleeeepppyyyzzzzzz…”

47 blair 04.30.08 at 1:50 pm

he’s so cute he made the local news where the cute co-anchorgirl bleened on-air over his nose-squishing tie-tie act

i personally tivoed it back 4 or 5 times in hi-def

teh cute has gone mainstream, ya’alls

i expect a new sitcom this fall called “Enh!”

48 Kris 04.30.08 at 2:28 pm

This is how I feel today!!!! I don’t think my nose smushes quite as cutely though… I remember feeling that way in college too – just have to read 4.more.chapterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

49 riolinda 04.30.08 at 6:16 pm

cute nose smoosh! :)

50 TD 04.30.08 at 8:38 pm

It made me sad because of the setting. It’s clearly not any sort of animal “habitat.” Not cute. Disturbing.

51 jen 04.30.08 at 8:59 pm

i can’t watch. i just want to cuddle him off and tuck him into a nice cozy bed. so tie-ties. must sleepies.

52 LucyP 04.30.08 at 11:54 pm

Baby bears are always adorable… but he looks like the dehydrated, sick animals I see in the vet clinic. Sorry to rain on everyone’s parade, but I don’t think this is a happy bear.

53 Yitzysmommie 05.01.08 at 2:41 am

Babeleh Beario: “I can haz nap now?”

54 gravyboat 05.01.08 at 7:35 am

Dear Meg, MORE BEARS PLEEEEEEEEEZE!!!

55 concerned... 05.14.08 at 5:52 am

I heard that this was on the news and that the animal is actually dying. Did anyone else see or hear about that? I’m wondering if it’s true, since so many people told me the bear was dying when I posted this video on my website.
