This is crazy and awesome, I never imagined such could happen in Russia (the public is crying "Shaibu! Shaibu!", which means "Give 'em the puck!", a common Russian hockey chant) - Peter Fedin

Oohh those crazy Russians - Özkan Altuner

Animal rights is a little less of a concern there. There's some pretty shocking displays around Moscow including bears. - Will Higgins™

@estherrudolph it is not a fake. it is a circus, not a real game or some gambling. also, looks like an old recording. - Идеец

How the heck did they get the skates on them? And how the heck could they learn to skate? - Robert Felty

I have often found myself wondering if apes could play tennis, yet here I see real bears playing hockey, and I am shocked.. and I am shocked that I am shocked.. confusing. - Sally Relton Shakespeare

How did they get the bears to hold the sticks? These have to be people in costumes. - Anika

they're real bears, muzzled; the sticks must be tied to a paw; the skates must've be fitted by pinning them down; they must've learned to skate by trial & error / reward & punishment; bears are really intelligent - they look like they're enjoying themselves - even the fighting! The worry would be what happens to them after they are retired and can no longer earn a living; if kept alive, depression can set in once the stimulation of performance and training ceases. - Sally Relton Shakespeare

Nothing wrong with bears, I should say, but definitely something wrong with this kangaroo http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Karpuscul

That goalie sucks! - Jay

the kangaroo must be on viagra - Sally Relton Shakespeare
