Japan Bear Does Kung Fu

Claude, the Asiatic Black bear who resides in Japan’s A-sa Zoological Park in Hiroshima, knows kung fu! Or maybe karate. Watch as he twirls this stick around quick-sharp.

Claude apparently spends hours twirling a stick and has been obsessed with them since he arrived at the Zoo six years ago.

The zoo has prepared 15 sticks for Claude to play with. It’s unknown whether the bear’s behaviour is dysfunctional but he nevertheless has attracted many visitors who want to see his kung-fu exercises.
