When this woman waves at a bear she never expected it to do this

[post_page_title]Picking up behaviors[/post_page_title]
One reason why the animal might have picked up this behavior so well is if it had been separated from its mother at a young age. All animals look to their parents to learn how to interact with the world around them. If the baby bear didn’t have its mother around to develop habits from, then it might have used humans as a surrogate instead. By watching how they interacted with each other, it could have tried to interpret and respond to their behaviors, thereby learning things like waving.
