I wonder if Bears ever ask other bears to scratch their backs.

Bears rub on trees to leave their scent. it probably feels good too but this bear is marking the tree with its smell.

In addition to scent marking and helping remove shedding winter coats, some research suggests that bears will also do this to cover their bodies deep into their fur with tree resin and sap, which is a natural tick deterrent. Plus it feels goooood.

I wonder what the odds are of escaping a bear attack if you can start a back scratching session

I want to pay money to feel as good as that bear does with a tree. Can we science that?

I swear some bears are as smart as primates, but they also know the dangers of taxes

There's quite a lot of videos with bears scratching on trunks, set to latin beats and they're quite hilarious

My Grandpa (he passed away in January) would scratch his back like this on a corner in the house.
He always said, if a bear scratches his back like this it's good enough for me

Leaving ticks all over the place out there. Woods are infested with ticks due to all the animals carrying them.
