Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

I have this silly thing I do with kids when they fall or get hurt where I'll look at their injury and gently exclaim, "oh no! You got a wiggle in it! Can you shake it for me to see if we can get the wiggle out?" Then, depending on how bad the injury is, we'll continue to shake the wiggle out.

Now, Bezos saves $8 billion because of Trump's corporate tax cuts.
While 17 million Americans lose health care.
