Bear Video
Right click and
select Save Target to download. Left
click to play video, but it will take a while to load!
|
This is the funniest bear video I've
seen. It's a large file and takes a little time to download, but
it's worth it. A
John West Red Salmon commercial
is
a
9MB file that requires a Quicktime
player.)
