Bear eating fly agaric


Came across this video depicting a bear cub eating fly agaric and having a little trip. I do not endorse the feeding of fly agaric to animals, but this is interesting and I haven't posted in a while, so there it is.

  1. Doesn't fly agaric kill people? I thought it was pretty lethal..

  2. Fly agaric can kill people, if too much is eaten. How much is too much? It depends on the person but is certainly a function of their mass among other things. A bear, even a baby bear, is pretty massive. Sub-lethal doses can cause hallucinations, but it's a dangerous game that I do not recommend or condone.
