Original Note:
It is generally ill-advised to feed bears. Doing so causes them to associate humans with food which can lead to bear attacks. This instance seems to be an exception as it's a trained and well fed bear from Olympic Game Farm. https://www.vice.com/en/article/theres-more-to-the-bears-of-olympic-game-farm-than-funny-viral-videos/ https://mysmokymountainguide.com/gsmnp/three-big-reasons-you-should-not-feed-bears/ https://bearwise.org/six-bearwise-basics/never-feed-or-approach-bears/#:~:text=Never%20Feed%20Bears,barbecue%20grills%20and%20pet%20food.
