Bears doing...whatever this is

[dense lichen]

I've had every species of bear do this at some point and when you get close they run away

Yea it’s weird

Looks like it is hunching down to do the "standing on back legs looking around"-thing. I've noticed them not completing that animation properly and "popping" directly from hunching down to fully upright or often right after going upright, they pop back down and are already running. Could be related?
