Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks posted a few of the charming snaps on Twitter Monday. “Recently, a bear discovered a wildlife camera that we use to monitor wildlife across #Boulder open space,” wrote the park system. “Of the 580 photos captured, about 400 were bear selfies.” Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks operates 9 cameras around its 46,000 acres of land.
