but tracks the bear. A real person is operating it.

At the very end there is a pull back with that camera, and it seems that it might be at another vantage point, not inside a cube, and not really all that far from man in the cube.

Fortunately the bear doesn't notice.

If the bear located a flawed joint...I’d be shitting bricks. In a shark cage the shark doesn’t have anything to hold the cage fixed while he batters it. Not the same here.
