Still Waters Posted February 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Sometime overnight Tuesday, someone — or some people — made a giant snow bear on the Lachine Canal, near Beaudoin Street in the Montreal neighbourhood of Saint-Henri. It's a delightful bear, carefully conceived and expertly executed. The bear's outline was stamped out right next to a footbridge crossing the canal in southwest Montreal — a prime location for picture-taking. But how did its mysterious makers do the belly button? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/st-henri-belly-button-bear-1.4999304 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison Posted February 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Probably just used a long stick to make it. Note that the navel is poorly done. It's actually four separate impressions in the snow. Just the sort of job a casual 'snow doodler' might make of it, using such a clumsy implement. It's not even very well centered.

highdesert50 Posted February 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2019 How was the picture taken from above--perhaps a drone. The same instrument could have made the impressions. A simpler solution might be the same stick or implement that perhaps made the eyebrows. Finally, perhaps the simplest solution was that it existed before the bear was made. Amusing nevertheless.

Lol good point never tried in the snow from a standstill, did it plenty of times on the sand on a beach, however that snow is only few inches deep, should not be an issue, we had a guy in school who jumped 8ft+ but standing on firm ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBE Hybrid Posted February 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I like the quad copter theory, maybe something fairly commonplace like a Phantom 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a running long jump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a running long jump? easier from a run start, however when you jump from running start you are very likely to not land on your feet alone, would leave a lot more marks. plus you have to jump back, i do not see "runway" to use for jumping back Edited February 1, 2019 by aztek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiderSef Posted February 5, 2019 #18 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Here in Colorado In the 90s when I was young it would snow at my grandma's, I'd run on the snow covered grass and every single time near the middle of the lawn there'd be what looked like a footprint. Imagine big bird from Sesame Street making a footprint \l/ that's what it'd look like, each toe as big as my shoe and there was only ever one. This reminded me of it.
