Oh my god that was so scary, dark as fuck outside going 55 on country roads when I see a weird dark spot ahead-oh fuck that’s a family of bears. I swerved and slammed the brakes and everything is okay but holy fuck.

It was a mother black bear and 2-3 cubs, they were super cute for the second I could see them.

how did a bear learn to drive?!

For anyone that does hit a bear, be sure to take it to central park and make it look like a bike accident. It's a really funny bit.

I said to my partner right after it happened “I was almost RFK jr! We nearly had to go to Central Park to get rid of it!”

Glad no one was hurt! You crazy northern hemisphere people and your giant animals

Black bears aren’t as big as you’d think, the kangaroo response is pretty on point. This was about the same size as the larger one I saw last night.

They’re big but like, there are dogs that are bigger. They’re just little guys.

"Am I nothing to you" (said in a tiny squeaky kangaroo voice)

Sorry, Short King. The North has you beat by a mile (and at least three feet in height)

I almost did the same last year. Also a moose. Another moose used the cross walk and waited for the walk signal to cross the road.

Good save! 👍

I'm really glad you are okay and didn't crash into anything. It's always good to practice how to use your handbrake and swerve in an empty parking lot somewhere. Your car handles a lot differently under heavy braking and spinning out after swerving and bifurcating your car on a tree happens more than it should.

Hmm yeah I should maybe see about doing that. My friend did exactly what you described a couple years ago, swerved to avoid a sandhill crane and spun out and hit a tree. Terrifying.

[-] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

How would you practice that? There's more and more deer crossing the very winding roads i take to work snd it's stressing me out
