I am not to good with locomotion so I can't see what's different from regular bears in this picture. But I like it none the less

Banana boy - the bear is walking "tippy toes" - instead of with its whole "hand" and foot on the ground... But I like your work - what's your username on Deviantart ?

I guess digitigrade standing posture might give it an extra 6 inches or so of reach ?
