Watch: Black Bear Has Better Burlesque Moves Than Most Dancers
Tom McClelland, a wildlife enthusiast set up a trail camera in a wooded area in Johnson, Ontario. He was probably hoping to see some woodland creatures getting ready for their upcoming hibernation. He wasn't expecting to find a giant black bear auditioning for a role in the next Magic Mike movie.

In the amazing video, the black bear is standing and sliding up and down against the side of a tree, with his front legs over his head like he's waving his arms in the air like he just don't care. The bear is probably just trying to get a good old scratching on the bark — but his "sexy" movements look like he's trying to pay his own tuition through college.
The hysterical video, posted last week, has Instagram users in stitches.
"That’s “bear”ly legal! Bears just gotta have fun too,!" comments @Suemclellan. @Asps sings the popular children's song with, "If you go into the woods today, you're in for a big surprise!"..." Another person replies, "I wonder if lessons are free? I sure could use some!"
Black bears start to prepare for hibernation in late fall, usually around October or November. During this time, they begin to eat heavily to store fat reserves. It looks like this bear just wanted one last dance before he settled down for his long winter's nap!
