Man Hugs, Cuddles and Gives Back Rubs to Massive Brown Bear

Here’s something you don’t see every day: a man and a huge bear playing around like they are best buds, and not like one of them could instantly eat the other one. American bear trainer Jim Kowalczik shares an unlikely bond with a brown bear named Jimbo, a bound that defies the laws of nature. Jimbo has been living with Jim at The Orphaned Wildlife Center in Upstate New York for more than two decades now, during which time they have grown very fond of one another. The two love to spend time playing together, and the male Kodiak bear especially likes getting back rubs from his human friend.
