“Onlookers were trying to take selfies with the bear and he’s clearly not in the mood for pictures. The bear has shown signs of severe stress,” the post said.

It described the large male bear as “stressed, depressed, lemon zest” and urged the public not to approach a black bear at any time, “especially those that are showing aggression like this big fella”.

How are we supposed to take this seriously when they make jokes?

I was really confused by that… wtf.. Lemon Zest?

Urban dictionary says it's the opposite of "easy peasy lemon squeezy".

Yeah, just confused as how it applies to a depressed bear. You were spot on.

Bears don't have spots, you're thinking of leopards.
