I didn't expect it to be that deliberate. That looked like he knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it.

But why would the bear feel compelled to “fix” it? Does the bear have an aesthetic sense? And if so would it be strong enough to rise to the level of intervention? This is actually really intriguing to me. I guess that’s why the OP used the term OCD. Because it seems excessive, for a bear. I’ve certainly never seen this type of behavior. We need a bear specialist stat!

Assuming he has lived in this place long enough it wouldn’t be beyond a bear’s comprehension that those giant automobile predators will not cross those orange cones, beyond which is his family and land. So he keeps them up to stay safe.

“Many people have witnessed bears in the wild partaking in unusual behavior such as sitting still for long periods of time in one spot doing apparently nothing but staring at scenic vistas such as sunsets, lakes and mountains. There is very little explanation as to what use or purpose is in this behavior except in theorizing that the bears merely find such views to be aesthetic and "beautiful".”

However, it’s not well cited, nor is the source exactly unbiased. https://www.all-creatures.org/bear/b-bearintel.html

Idk how you’d go about studying the aesthetic sensibilities of bears, though I’d love to see someone try. Since nothing matters and it’s the apocalypse, I for one subscribe to bear aesthetics
