BOULDER, COLORADO: A black bear in Colorado used a widlife motion-detecting camera to pose for more than four hundred selfies, and people are absolutely loving it. The camera was set up in Boulder by city officials to keep track of the wildlife, including deer, bald eagles and lynx, across 46,000 acres of land. 

The camera caught the attention of a black bear and the motion triggered it into capturing hundreds of pictures while the bear gave multiple poses. The park staff reviewed a total of 580 images and out of those 580, more than 400 were of the bear. Bears hibernate during winter in their dens, between mid-December and mid-March.
