Black bears are pretty common in Louisiana these days, but one bear from the "Bayou State" has caught the attention of many on social media.

Photos of bears out in the wild are widespread as the black bear population has exploded these days in Louisiana, but the bear with long legs has many zooming in on its odd-shaped body.

As you will see below, this bear appears to have long legs, and the reason is unknown. However, many in the social media group where the original photo was posted suggest that this is a young bear and hasn't grown into its body.

You may have heard the saying that a kid hasn't grown into their body when they're young and they look awkward, well let's just hope that's the case with the bear.

Many who were commenting on the photo below also expressed their concern that the bear may not be eating well, however, others explained that this young bear has plenty to eat and that its long legs are for the reason as noted above.

Check out this oddly shaped bear in the woods in Louisiana and let us know what you think is happening here.
