THE GREAT OUTDOORS — Imagine you're a bear living in Italy. You spend your summers at Lake Como and then head to the scenic Apennine Mountains during the winter months because you're an avid fan of snow sports.
But there's only one problem with your seasonal plan … the wolves in the Apennine Mountains are extra sneaky and try to steal your food every time you take a nap.
At least, that's how things look in this video:
You can almost feel the bear's frustration in the video — I'd probably feel the same way if I went through all the trouble of preparing a meal and then had some pesky wolf trying to snatch it away.
In the end, the bear buries the meat under a pile of dirt and leaves. Which kind of reminded me of back in the day when my younger brother would try to sneak chicken nuggets off my plate when I wasn't looking. I knew I wouldn't be able to catch him every time he tried to nab one, so I'd preemptively lick them all just to gross him out and keep him at bay.
