Trail Cam Captures Burlesque Bear’s Sexy ‘Pole Dancing’ Routine

If you’ve never seen a bear do a pole dance routine before, same. Until today. Set to provocative music, a video showing a black bear scratching its back against a tall, thin tree looks a lot like—as Tom McClelland puts it—a “sexy black bear working the stripper pole.” We bet you’ve never seen a trail-cam video quite like this.

McClelland is the human behind the Instagram account @trailcam_tom. His profile suggests he lives in northern Ontario, Canada—aka, bear country. In September last year, McClelland’s trail camera captured some viral-video gold when a black bear entered the frame and began gyrating against a tree.

McClelland, knowing a good thing when he sees it, set the trail-cam footage to some appropriate music, making the whole thing seem, well, delightfully inappropriate.
