Bear discovers lost GoPro, turns it on, starts recording himself

A black bear discovered a lost GoPro in the Wyoming wilderness, switched it on and began filming itself, an astonishing video has shown.

Dylan Schilt, from Laramie, was hunting with a bow and arrow in the mountains earlier this month when he found the action camera, which had fallen off a snowmobile and into thick sand months earlier.

After charging the camera, the hunter discovered the footage.

The bear is seen providing a close-up of his gnashers after turning the camera on using his mouth.

After sharing its glaring gums, the animal attempts to tear the camera apart with its sharp claws.

1. Gonna give me nightmares for sure. But couldn't stop watching

Glad the bear wasn’t harmed.

26. Ha ha! Don't come to my house then. Bear slobber on my windows is a

fairly regular thing.

They slobber on everything, lol.

2. I think he has a small cavity in one of his molars.

He should see a dentist. Of course, he won't, if the dentist sees him first.

24. bwahahaha... good one. :)

[Hortensis]

3. Lol, seems to have had fun. Great stuff for a GoPro commercial.

[Carlitos Brigante]

4. Did I hear him say; "Hey Boo-boo, check this out!"? nt

[eShirl]

5. I wonder what DU's dentists think about those choppers and gums

[Vogon_Glory]

6. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the

Bear eats you, and sometimes the bear starts filming.

Great video, but I think that the bear needs to improve his camera-work.

7. Those nails would make the Kardashians jealous

[hurple]

9. Too bad he didn't swallow it

Then we could have learned exactly where bears sh!t, since so many people seem to question it.

[calimary]

16. LOL! I see what you did there!

[msfiddlestix]

25. another good one..

just what the doctored ordered for me this morning...

10. Millennial bear, always sharing everything with the world

[malaise]

22. ROFL

Fascinating!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

11. It looks like a cinammon black bear.

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. "Takes a lickin' but keeps on tickin'"

That's a great ad for the ruggedness of that camera.

[Wingus Dingus]

13. This is the last thing you see when you get eaten by a bear.

Teeth and claws and gums, comin' at ya! He sure spent a lot of time on something that didn't taste good and was too crunchy, lol.

[trusty elf]

14. That's funny.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. That IS intuitive.

Most cameras are an enigma to turn on, let alone use.

[vanlassie]

18. He made good use of that Optical Image Stabilizer.

[lagomorph777]

29. I noticed that. Very impressive!

[lookyhereyou]

17. it's funny now

but if you need close up footage

of being mauled by a bear , photo shop red

on snow add screams and voila !

but black bears not so much maulers,

salt or sent on camera ?

19. Once again, mankind.

A human left a plastic and metal device where a wild animal could find it. It could have choked the bear to death. It could have poisoned the bear that swallowed it with its heavy metals and battery content.

Mankind trashes every other creature it encounters. The owner of the lost camera should be held accountable for leaving such dangerous human trash in the wild, potentially harming the wildlife.

I think every item on a person going into a wilderness area should be registered, and accounted for with an inventory going in, and coming out. ANY list item should be a severe financial penalty. Period.

Poor bear.

20. "Bear-Tested - Hiker-Approved - GoPro!"

[LW1977]

21. Bear! Don't eat my GoPro! Stop it bear!

[vanlassie]

31. I think he ate a knob or something crunchy!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. Mr. Bear must have been hungry and smelled human on the camera.

Otherwise, I don't think he would have bothered it unless like dogs, they're attracted to some molecule in certain plastics.

As someone else said, that device could have harmed that animal considering a potentially explosive and poisonous battery pack.

27. Took it a long time to realize this isn't a pic-a-nic basket.

[Solly Mack]

28. That had to be frustrating for the bear. Seemed that way.

Beautiful footage along with the oral photos for a vet to study.

[panader0]

30. What a hambone.

[Skittles]

32. those claws

[Demovictory9]

33. so cool
