wtff....real meaning of wrestling a bear?

Well, I'm sort of grossed out because I bet that bear had a pretty awful life.

On the behaviour front, it's pretty well documented that polar bears learn how to wrestle in their adolescence and that it's an important social skill for them.

I wrote a documentary about polar bears last year and noted that they dig for underhooks and figure out basic grappling rules like putting their head on the side of the underhook, etc. It's not the sort of thing that made it into the doc, but I still geeked out on it.

Bear hits a nice double leg at 1:11.

Beat gets back take around 1:55

Kid single legs bear at 2:15. Bear was caught off guard.

Bear plays modified RDLR guard at 2:23. Bears cardio seems good
 
As someone above pointed out - that bear must have had a terrible life.

Wouldn't mind seeing its daddy wrestling with those kid's coach.
