It is always cool when wild animals display characteristics, or behaviours, that you relate to human behaviors. Maybe it’s not fair to the animals that we do it, but it’s almost instinct to humanize wild animals.

This image immediately reminded me of how I feel on Monday morning, and that’s why I titled it Case of the Mondays (even though the bear was waking up on a Thursday afternoon). It’s almost like she is rubbing her eyes and saying she’s not ready to get up and go to work.
