In this video from Saskatchewan, a woman saw that two black bears were investigating the elevated stand she was occupying. Soon one of them began to climb the ladder just as skilfully as you or I. Maybe more skilfully than me, truth be told.
She tries to dissuade the bear from coming up higher by speaking to it so the bear knows that she is there. She also begins to wag a finger at it, making it more curious, so it climbs higher.
Finally the bear decides it will go back down the ladder, and the real show starts. First the bear hangs from the ladder by it's (formidable) teeth. Then he (or she) manages to get himself bizarrely tangled up in the ladder. The lady in the tree, who I assume is still scared spitless, can't help but laugh several times.
