BEARPOCLYPSE HQ — As any evil overlord will attest to, planning world domination is a lot of hard work. Evil genius is a gift, but it's also physically and emotionally draining.
There were days the Emperor just wanted to say, "Listen, Darth, I need a nap. I need you to take over for a little while. Don't mess anything up and don't let your son touch anything."
The point here is: This stuff is a lot of work, and no one knows this more than bears.
The Bearpocalypse takes a lot of logistical work. Coordinating millions of bears across the globe, teaching the bears to stay incognito, how to maul bipeds, and making sure not to speak. Like I said, it's a lot of work.
So, what do bears do when they need to take a small break? They relax, and they just might do it in your hammock. That's exactly what this bear did as his break was caught on video.
You watch this and think, "Ah, he thinks he's people. That's adorable."
Yesterday's Have You Seen This?
That's what makes bears so stealthy evil. This bear legitimately needs a rest, but the plan here was to rest and make humans think you're cute so they let down their guard and start to trust them. Don't fall into this trap. Bears are so smart that they're working even when they're resting.
Bearmageddon creeps ever closer. Stay vigilant. Stay alive.
