A video clip of a man scolding a wild bear for stealing from a birdfeeder has left the internet in splits. The short clip shared on Twitter by Scott Bixby shows a bear stealthily climbing a tree in Bixby’s backyard to get some food from the birdfeeder. However, instead of running away in fear, Bixby, standing in his balcony, starts yelling at the bear.
'What are you doing?'
The clip starts by showing the bear climbing the tree, however it is soon interrupted by a man saying "What are you doing? No. No.” For one minute, Bixby keeps on reprimanding the bear saying, “stop it here right now" and instructing him to go “down”. Finally, the bear backs off.
Since posted, the clip has been viewed over 300 thousand times ad garnered over eight thousand likes.
