Those look like rubber-soled costume feet!

2 heather 07.28.08 at 10:12 pm

Whee! I mean, er?

3 Theresa 07.28.08 at 10:27 pm

Scanning for bear snorkel. I don’t see one. ;)

4 lurkingsmirk 07.28.08 at 10:29 pm

5 joods 07.28.08 at 10:30 pm

tickle, tickle, tickle…

Scandalous! Outdoor Bear Porn!! Stephen Colbert will be all over this for sure.

7 Golden or NTKTOK 07.28.08 at 11:13 pm

Isn’t this still illegal in some states? ;-)

8 Kate 07.28.08 at 11:17 pm

I bear my soul to you.

9 DLT 07.28.08 at 11:24 pm

i’ve said it before, and i’ll no doubt say it again:

NTMTOM: i heart you.

10 Red 07.28.08 at 11:43 pm

That’s great!

Guys, they’re just trying to break into the Panda Porn market! http://tinyurl.com/3bk5dg

ha! one of the best captions ever.

13 diana 07.29.08 at 12:17 am

oh. *LOVE*

14 Herself 07.29.08 at 12:18 am

Always good to go bearfoot on a hot day…

15 chanpon 07.29.08 at 12:19 am

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

16 Theo 07.29.08 at 12:20 am

LOL, Mike. Laughing Overtly Lewdly.

17 carmen 07.29.08 at 12:27 am

look at the ears!!!!!

18 Lizzy 07.29.08 at 12:38 am

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 07.29.08 at 1:02 am

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

20 Dreamspinner Cheryl 07.29.08 at 2:07 am

!!!SNORT!!!

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

21 claudia 07.29.08 at 2:08 am

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

22 yankeebird 07.29.08 at 2:42 am

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

23 jenben 07.29.08 at 2:42 am

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

one heck of a bear pretzel!

24 HellZiggy 07.29.08 at 2:42 am

@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 Not That Mike The Other Mike 07.29.08 at 3:54 am

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

26 Ponygirl 07.29.08 at 4:56 am

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

27 Ponygirl 07.29.08 at 4:57 am

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

28 nakey 07.29.08 at 5:01 am

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

29 Elizabeth H. 07.29.08 at 5:24 am

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

30 misscrisp 07.29.08 at 6:39 am

Absolutely brilliant capshuns NTMTOM. I second the .

31 misscrisp 07.29.08 at 6:40 am

ummm… heart…I second the heart!

32 Subhangi 07.29.08 at 6:51 am

The feets don’t look reals.

33 binky-mama 07.29.08 at 7:52 am

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

34 wigly 07.29.08 at 8:11 am

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 07.29.08 at 8:59 am

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

36 Theresa 07.29.08 at 11:47 am

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

37 Szilvia 07.29.08 at 11:52 am

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 07.29.08 at 12:05 pm

Wow! Real BEAR feet!!

39 starling 07.29.08 at 12:34 pm

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

Hahahahahahaha*dies*

40 Lisa 07.29.08 at 12:48 pm

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

41 Blanche 07.29.08 at 1:06 pm

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

42 Babs 07.29.08 at 1:14 pm

Other Mike, you are not right in the haid.

43 ThreeCatNight 07.29.08 at 1:16 pm

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

44 wagthedogma 07.29.08 at 1:37 pm

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

45 Kris 07.29.08 at 1:49 pm

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

NTMTOM, you are such a GUY!!!!

46 Erebella 07.29.08 at 1:58 pm

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 07.29.08 at 2:25 pm

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

48 merat 07.29.08 at 2:38 pm

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 07.29.08 at 2:41 pm

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

50 Theo 07.29.08 at 2:42 pm

Dare I ask? (@Merat)

51 skippy 07.29.08 at 3:52 pm

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

52 momof2kitties 07.29.08 at 4:24 pm

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

53 Hon Glad 07.29.08 at 4:43 pm

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

54 Theresa 07.29.08 at 5:05 pm

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

55 starling 07.29.08 at 5:13 pm

For me it’s Nom Tom too.

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

56 Golden or NTKTOK 07.29.08 at 5:22 pm

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

I love you.

57 Theresa 07.29.08 at 5:24 pm

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

58 Mary (the first) 07.29.08 at 5:47 pm

I also heart NomTom.

59 Theo 07.29.08 at 5:55 pm

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

60 mberkie0 07.29.08 at 8:36 pm

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 07.29.08 at 8:51 pm

You dare ask! (@Theo)

62 Theo 07.29.08 at 8:55 pm

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

63 Mel 07.29.08 at 9:04 pm

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

64 ceracrawford 07.29.08 at 10:05 pm

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

65 Theresa 07.29.08 at 10:19 pm

@mberkie0, bear harbls, too, apparently.

66 Theo 07.30.08 at 12:41 am

Barbls!

67 WannaSmile 07.30.08 at 3:00 am

Those are some nice feets!

68 Hon Glad 07.30.08 at 6:36 am

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

69 merat 07.30.08 at 7:17 am

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

70 Theo 07.30.08 at 12:39 pm

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

71 Randy 07.30.08 at 1:53 pm

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 07.30.08 at 2:20 pm

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 07.30.08 at 2:22 pm

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 07.30.08 at 3:59 pm

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

75 Theo 07.30.08 at 4:03 pm

Dude, this isn’t a gossip rag!

76 kt@so 07.31.08 at 10:21 am

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

77 Nimra 07.31.08 at 9:03 pm

This is so cute!!!!!!
