He’s sadder than your av-er-age bear.
A “depressed” black bear sulking on the side of a Florida road garnered so much attention Thursday that police had to warn gawkers against taking selfies with the brooding bruin.
The bear was seen moping beneath a telephone post alongside Highway 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, melancholily watching cars zip through the wooded area, photos of the animal show.
The black bear appeared too dejected to run when cars pulled over on the side of the road to snap pics of the unusually behaving animal — giving some daredevils the courage to get too close for a picture.

Despite the vibes some gawkers were picking up, officials said the big beast was showing clear signs of aggression.
From pictures alone, experts were able to determine the obvious: “the bear has shown signs of severe stress.”

Biologists from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were dispatched to investigate the situation, but by the time they arrived, the bear had moseyed back into the woods.
