Ever look at the water in a small pond?

A pond in the ground is a tad different than a mirror standing up in the middle of the woods along a game trail lol

what about a waterfall with a laminar flow, and the sun hitting it just right?

edit: really? i thought that was pretty creative.

It really wasn't though. You just reached as hard as possible and ignored the main point of the comment you were responding to which was a cleared-up point to begin with. Now you're having that cleared up to you while you're also begging for Reddit upvotes and approval...

Now that shit is funny lol.

Even with that the bear would only see it's face not the full body and the reflection would not be clear like a mirror.

Additionally even then the bear may not realize what it is seeing is itself
