Waving bear at Washington state farm shows off catching skills

SEQUIM, Wash., June 5 (UPI) -- One of the famous "Waving Kodiak Bears" at Washington state's Olympic Game Farm showed it can do more than wave -- it can catch.

Samson Lee, who uploaded the video to YouTube, was driving through the park with a friend, Kayleigh, who waved at the bear in an attempt to get it to reciprocate the gesture.

The bear waves back, leading Kayleigh to reward it by throwing a piece of bread, which the bear effortlessly catches in its other paw.

The "Waving Kodiak Bears" worked for Walt Disney Studios for nearly 30 years prior to Disney's 1966 death.
