Ever Heard A Bear Yelling? Video Shows A Black Bear Climbing A Tree & Giving A Rare Vocal Performance
Lynn Rogers, a biologist who has been studying bears for more the 50 years, told Los Angeles Times that it sounded like an anxiety call. "It's almost whining," Mr Rogers said. "Nothing in that is explosive." According to Yosemite National Park's website, about 300-500 black bears live at the park.
A video showing a black bear giving a vocal performance from the top of the tree at the United States¡¯ Yosemite National Park, has gone viral.
The National Park shared a video of the adult bear singing from the tree on Thursday. In the video, the black bear can be heard groaning for nearly a minute.

The bear is constantly looking down at the ground while he is making those sounds. The caption of the video makes a hilarious remark as it says, ¡°We're not sure what prompted this unscheduled a capella concert¡¡±. The caption has been uploaded with a hashtag that says ¡®#KeepBearsWild¡¯.
People all across social media are trying to figure out as to what prompted the sound. "Maybe he experiencing difficulty getting down -- he's looking up to the top and down to the ground. What was the outcome?", wrote a Twitter user trying to deduce something out of the video.
Sound on! ?

Another Twitter user wrote, "He is telling the humans to get away. He doesn¡¯t want to get trouble if he has to confront any of them". People are also retweeting the video with their own captions. Assuming that the bear is trying to sing, one person wrote, "Who knew bears could sing?"
