A bear without front paws has become a local legend and has been found in the mountains of West Virginia.

According to experts, the animal was born about 8 years ago with a mutation that causes it to lack front paws.

Locals feel very sorry for the little animal, but it has adapted well to its condition and can stand up for itself, remaining as dangerous as its four-legged relatives.

On the top most vid it really looks like a dude in a bear suit
It's amazing that it survived to this point . Perhaps he lost his limbs not so long ago actually.

Animals don’t think anything about it. They just live their lives like normal. Hard enough living in the animal kingdom. He’ll live a long life regardless.

I bet that gave him paws for thought.
