A black bear born without front legs has been sighted more or less thriving in the mountains of West Virginia.
Though not unheard of, it’s not everyday that you see the animal’s natural movement, having been transformed, by consequence of his birth, from a quadrupedal animal to an upright animal walking and standing on two legs like people.
Most recent sightings must make the bear around 8 years old. Black bear cubs stay with their moms for 2 years and in 2018 trail camera photos he was not with his mom making a 2015/2016 birth year plausible.
By the way, Instagram comments were filled with people suggesting animals like this led to the myth of Bigfoot.
