I strongly suspect this image is NOT what it appears to be. If it had been, I'm sure we would've been reading some account in the media about someone being mauled to death after picking up a bear cub.

I agree. The bear in back appears to have been added.

I think the saying goes, "I'm pretty sure this is 'shopped, I can tell by some of the pixels."

At least it appears that the lighting is all coming from the same general direction. I don't believe it's real for an instant.

What Howard said! plus the bear seems disproportionately large for being that distance behind the jerk.
