Never underestimate the ingenuity of a bear. They will invite themselves into people’s cabins or just come hang out on someone’s back deck if they smell food, not to mention all kinds of other hijinks they will pull to entertain themselves.

As this video shows, they also know some pretty impressive moves, too!

This is just a typical day for this Tahoe bear, climbing up and down this container with ease, just like Tom Cruise hangs out of airplanes and runs down the side of skyscrapers while filming the Mission Impossible movies, LOL.

And like that mega-famous star of the silver screen, this Tahoe bear is cool as a cucumber as they go about their business. As big as this bear is, they are also remarkably nimble.

Perhaps that is why some people on the Internet joked that they learned their “moves” from “watching Mission Impossible.” Hey, we are certainly impressed with what this bear could do, LOL.

At the same time, other people commented on this video to remark how incredible it is that an animal can be a dangerous apex predator and ridiculously adorable at the same time.

Yeah, we have a hard time wrapping our heads around that one, too. As they say, “If not friend, then why friend-shaped?”

One commenter, who was clearly familiar with Tahoe bears, noted that these creatures are more than capable of outsmarting anyone when a free meal is potentially involved. Truer words have never been typed on the Internet, LOL.

It’s Not Tahoe Without Bears

As this other video shows, a day without a bear sighting in Lake Tahoe is like a day without sunshine. These fluffy creatures are everywhere! Just take the one in this video, for instance.

There they are, having a nice mid-day stroll by the water, just enjoying the beauty of their surroundings.

And while it might seem a little nerve-racking to some that this bear is walking by the side of the road, based on how they navigated this roadway, this bear seems like an expert pedestrian, knowing exactly when and how to cross the road.

Thankfully, this was a very peaceful moment for this bear, just like the one in the other video who was practicing their “Mission Impossible moves.”
