HANCOCK, Md. (UPI) -- A Maryland black bear is gaining a viral following after a shocked resident snapped photos of the bruin standing on its hind legs.

Brenda Douglas of Hancock said she and her family dubbed the bipedal bear Boo Boo -- named for Yogi's cartoon buddy -- after he made repeated visits to their home during the summer.

Douglas posted photos to Facebook showing off Boo Boo's unusual trick -- walking on his hind legs.

The photos went viral, making the bear into a viral hit.

 

"Who would have guessed that Boo Boo would become a celebrity?" Douglas wrote on Facebook.

Douglas said Boo Boo was a fixture during the summer, but hasn't visited her yard since August.

A New Jersey bear named Pedals became something of a celebrity after being repeatedly caught on camera walking on its hind legs due to injuries to the animal's front paws. New Jersey officials said they believe Pedals was killed by a hunter earlier this month, but they were unable to confirm the identity of the slain bear due to the lack of available samples of Pedals' DNA.
