  13. diana says:

    oh. *LOVE*

  14. Herself says:

    Always good to go bearfoot on a hot day…

  15. chanpon says:

    ‘Happy Baby’- it can take some people a few classes to master that yoga pose. (Totally not making that up)

  16. Theo says:

    LOL, Mike. Laughing Overtly Lewdly.

  17. carmen says:

    look at the ears!!!!!

  18. Lizzy says:

    Is that Kachina!?!? My very own beary-bear-bear of grizzly snorgly goodness?!? I got to be there for the grand opening of Grizzly Gulch at the SF Zoo and it was one of the coolest things EVAR. There’s this one sleepies spot they have right near the glass – you can almost hear the ZzzZZsnorfZZzzZZgrr

  19. Liz says:

    I can’t decide what’s cuter – if those ARE his feet, or if they AREN’T.

  20. Dreamspinner Cheryl says:

    !!!SNORT!!!

    I laughed so hard, I think I blew out a sinus cavity…owwwwwwwww….

  21. claudia says:

    I once received some slippers that looked just like those feet at Christmas ;)

  22. yankeebird says:

    LOL @ the gee-ross categorization, though I disagree with that being gee-ross. :P

  23. jenben says:

    ok, im trying to figure out how that position works…?

    one heck of a bear pretzel!

  24. HellZiggy says:

    @Lizzy:

    Nope, can’t be Kachina. That pic was taken at the Russia’s Grizzly Coast exhibit at the Minnesota Zoo. I think that picture is of Haines, but it might be Kenai. I heart my local zoo!

  25. @Hellziggy: The sender-inner said that this is a picture of Kenai.

  26. Ponygirl says:

    Isn’t this baby at SF Zoo’s Grizzly Gulch? BEST EXHIBIT EVAR!

  27. Ponygirl says:

    I should have kept reading – I would have gotten my answer.

  28. nakey says:

    Oh, man. I can’t believe my luck.
    CHECK OUT HIS BEAR FEET!
    Heh heh heh. Bear/bare feet pun bleen!

  29. Elizabeth H. says:

    I’m the sender-inner – it’s Kenai at the Minnesota Zoo, indeed!

  30. misscrisp says:

    Absolutely brilliant capshuns NTMTOM. I second the .

  31. misscrisp says:

    ummm… heart…I second the heart!

  32. Subhangi says:

    The feets don’t look reals.

  33. binky-mama says:

    At first I was thinking : “Awwww cute bear holding his feetsies!” Then I read the caption….Heavens! Someone fetch my smelling salts! ;)

  34. wigly says:

    Whenever I see NTMTOM, I always think “Nompty-Nom”. I knowwwww that’s not what it says, but that’s what it says to me! I think that might also be what it’s saying to a certain bear.

  35. Hon Glad says:

    Kenai:- Gahhh, Parp, bubble.
    “Who needs a jacuzzi” ….(Well someone had to do it).. :0}

  36. Theresa says:

    Check out the link to the Minnesota Zoo, and you’ll see Haines in the same pose. Bear Pilates. ;)

  37. Szilvia says:

    Oh for heaven’s sake, I can’t BEAR teh cute!

    I googled Kachina and found this: http://flickr.com/photos/druppel/989602066/

    What’s with the bear feet y’all?

  38. Carolina says:

    Wow! Real BEAR feet!!

  39. starling says:

    This picture wasn’t gee-ross until you put that caption on it, Other Mike, and you know it.

    Hahahahahahaha*dies*

  40. Lisa says:

    Cue porn music: “ber-chicka bow-bowwww…”

  41. Blanche says:

    Aaaah! La pose qui rafraichit! (The most refreshing pose) “Don’t you tink I ‘av cute littel feet?”

  42. Babs says:

    Other Mike, you are not right in the haid.

  43. ThreeCatNight says:

    I believe you can get arrested in several of the Southern states for this kind of behavior.

  44. wagthedogma says:

    Good heavens!!! Is this Cute Overload or the URSA SUTRA??? *crumples fetchingly onto a divan in faux nuffy swoon*

  45. Kris says:

    Look at the CLAWS on the front feet! My LORD!!!

    NTMTOM, you are such a GUY!!!!

  46. Erebella says:

    BWAA HAA HAAAA! Best possible caption for this pic, surely! Way to go, Mike. No wonder that bear’s ears are so perky!

  47. Theo says:

    When reading NTMTOM, does anyone else hear “Nom Tom” in their head?

  48. merat says:

    In the Scandinavian languages, there’s an expression of doing somebody a »bjørnetjeneste», which quite literally means bearjob.

    I believe that’s what they are doing.

  49. blair says:

    “so i got both feets in the air. am i levitating now?”

  50. Theo says:

    Dare I ask? (@Merat)

  51. skippy says:

    Yes, Theo, I hear “Nom Tom”. Or sometimes “Nuttin’ Tom”. But definitely not “Mike”.

  52. momof2kitties says:

    Me too, Theo. Def. Nom Tom. Apropos, non?

  53. Hon Glad says:

    Nom Tom. For me, as well.
    Mebes it could become his Nom Tom de Plume,

  54. Theresa says:

    What I hear is ‘Glurggh mlurrgh ig gluurlge urg FLURRGH!’

  55. starling says:

    For me it’s Nom Tom too.

    Have you considered taking your head out of the bucket, Theresa?

  56. Golden or NTKTOK says:

    All you people.. every single one of you.. just.. sick. ;-)

    I love you.

  57. Theresa says:

    I’m only in here because somebody said “mattress.”

  58. Mary (the first) says:

    I also heart NomTom.

  59. Theo says:

    Theresa, wait till you see what the bear does when you say “interviewer”.
    (and if that gets no reaction, try “Ni!”)

  60. mberkie0 says:

    I think Bear is saying, “it’s summer, that’s why bear feet!” or “See? I washed my feets in de baff, and theys all clean now!”

  61. merat says:

    You dare ask! (@Theo)

  62. Theo says:

    OK, so, is a “bearjob” just your basic b***job, only you’re in the woods?

  63. Mel says:

    I would totally nom those footy pads if it wouldn’t get my head bit off.

  64. ceracrawford says:

    that made my day soo much better, bear porn!!!!!!!

  65. Theresa says:

    @mberkie0, bear harbls, too, apparently.

  66. Theo says:

    Barbls!

  67. WannaSmile says:

    Those are some nice feets!

  68. Hon Glad says:

    Theo: Barbels a fish; I mean, I’m only saying.

  69. merat says:

    It may only qualify if you’re doing it with a bear.

  70. Theo says:

    The internet has scarred me for life, Merat. Because that totally made sense.

  71. Randy says:

    Wow I just came back from the Duluth, Minnesota Zoo, not far at all from The Minnesota Zoo and I have an almost identical shot of a bear there.

    http://www.redbubble.com/people/snowdog/art/1458817-1-touching-your-toes-bearly

    [Dude, Duluth is like 2-3 hours from the Twin Cities... - Ed.]

  72. Randy says:

    Thanks Ed, I was just trying to point out that while both Zoos are in the same state, they are two different locations.

  73. Theo says:

    Yep. I live only 5 minutes away from the MN Zoo, the one with the new Grizzly Coast exhibit, but I have yet to actually *go* there.

    Maybe I’ll do a CO photo outing next week; I’ll have a little “free time”.

  74. Hon Glad says:

    Theo: Who you gonna out, go on givas a clue?

  75. Theo says:

    Dude, this isn’t a gossip rag!

  76. kt@so says:

    OMG… NOTHING LIKE GETTING YOUR FEET WET!!!!!

  77. Nimra says:

    This is so cute!!!!!!
