Info from Licensor: "This is a very inquisitive young black bear who is investigating and rubbing on a wooden pole in an abandoned livestock shed. Bears do this for territorial marking reasons, though it likely also feels good and provides help with grooming. Younger males often take time to perfect their marking behavior, which seems to be the case in this bear’s playful demeanor. North Central Washington State, Rexing Woodlens trail camera."
