out what camera trick they did to make it look so smooth. amazingly, the kung fu bear is 100% factually accurate. as it turns out, it s just a very talented bear. for years claude the bear has been wowing visitors in japan with his mastery of martial arts. claude taught himself serious stick skills after zookeepers gave him a five-foot staff to play with shortly after his arrival in 2002. the poor bear is like bored out of his mind. well, i ve got this stick and i m really smart. but claude doesn t gain worldwide fame until teenager alex graham visits the zoo during a family trip in 2009. the zoo is generally really quiet. we were looking around. and i just walk off by myself. soon, alex comes face-to-face with claude the bear. so, i take out my camera.
i haven t added any effects to it. it s completely 100% true. two years after claude s meteoric rise to fame, alex s younger sister, yuki, takes a trip to japan. one of her first stops is the asa zoo. i thought if i saw it for myself, i could brag about it to my friends and stuff. be like, oh, yeah, i saw that in real life. at first, things look bleak. get your video ready. i m videoing. then, to yuki s excitement, claude starts up his old tricks. ah! he s doing it again! he looked a little like lazy kind of. he wasn t exactly doing the same tricks as fast. it was still doing the same old stuff, but maybe a little bit slower. older and wiser, claude continues to excite crowds at the zoo and around the world on youtube. many wonder what his next trick will be.
alex can t believe his eyes when claude picks up the stick. i was pretty amazed when i saw claude playing with the stick doing all these amazing tricks. at the time while i was filming it, i was thinking, this could get millions of views on youtube. alex decides to make his vision a reality. he comes home from his trip and edits together a montage of claude s best moves. the bear s tricks are so unbelievable that even alex s sister, yuki, thinks it s a fake. there s a ton of crazy stuff in japan, so i thought maybe it was a show or something. then he s like, no, it s real. alex uploads the video in september 2009. i start getting thousands of views. started getting really excited. and then just week after week it kept blowing up. before long, the video entitled kung fu bear receives more than 3.5 million hits on youtube. the video s so popular, it
