It might not be as good as hugging baby gorillas, but I suppose this is pretty nice!

Looking for a job? If you like wildlife and don't mind dealing with "problem animals," then you could work as a "bear hugger." The New Mexico Department of Fish and Game and hiring a so-called "bear hugger" that has "the courage to crawl into a bear den."

The department posted the job opening for conservation officers on Facebook, saying that viable applicants "must have ability to hike in strenuous conditions," crawl into bear dens, and trust that their coworkers will keep them safe.

What New Mexico wants you to think this job is like:

What it would actually be like:

Actually, it does sound like a pretty cool job, at least if you like the outdoors:

A conservation officer patrols the state to enforce game and fish laws. But in addition to law enforcement, they also conduct wildlife surveys. Another part of the job: capturing what the department calls "problem animals."

What are "problem animals," exactly?

The department doesn't say, but it does say that the newly hired officer will in part be "investigat[ing] wildlife damage to crops and property," assisting in "wildlife relocations" and helping "develop new regulations."

Just remember that not all bears like hugs!

(But all gorillas do... just sayin')
