Unbearably Sassy

For Tongue-out Tuesday, meet the sassiest bear in the forest. Each year the USDA Forest Service in Alaska honors the best photos in their collection, and this naughty cub won “Sassiest Bear.” Fittingly, the cub is the offspring of a black bear named Twerp. “This little one always seemed to be giving attitude,” they noted. “We wouldn’t expect anything less from the offspring of the appropriately named Twerp.”
