Conflict Resolution
The “Conflict Resolution” award goes to BB and Goblin! These two bears clearly weren't in the mood for a brawl. Not lazy, but smart. This squabble is often how bears try to resolve things, by posturing and then waiting for reaction. Avoiding conflict helps them conserve energy and avoid injury. Goblin backed up a bit and they ended up fishing right next to each other.
