Alberta grizzly bears’ ‘stripper’ dancing caught on video, million-plus views on YouTube leads to ‘Colbert Report’ | National Post
CALGARY — An Internet video is teaching hundreds of thousands of people around the world that back-scratching is one of the bear necessities for grizzlies in the foothills of Alberta.
Taken over a three-day period and posted to YouTube by Alberta Parks conservation officer in late July, the flick, titled “What goes on when you are not there,” shows a variety of wildlife captured by motion-sensor cameras as they visit what’s known as a “communications” or “rub” tree.
As of Tuesday, the video had more than 1,462,000 views and had been featured on “Good Morning America” and the “ABC Nightly News” and even the “Colbert Report.”
There are several different animals in the video, but the grizzlies are the stars, rubbing up against the tree, at one point, four at a time. Set to folksy music, they appear to be dancing.
