A large black bear in Florida got into a garage, finished off a 20-pound bag of dog food, and then took a nap in the yard.
A homeowner in Seminole County, Florida walked into her backyard to something very big dozing in the brush next to a 20-pound bag of dog food. She immediately called her neighbor, Bob Cross, who usually deals with neighborhood nuisance critters.

“That’s a big bear. That’s a huge bear,” Cross said.

The bear had gotten into the homeowner’s garage and dragged out the giant bag of dog food. The bear then proceeded to eat almost the entire bag.




Cross decided to let the bear be rather than wake it and scare it off. He got a few close-up photos since the bear literally ate himself into a coma. It was obviously very full after eating almost an entire bag of dog food.

“(It) repositioned three or four times and stretched out. It just laid there,” he said.

Another neighbor snuck up to the dozing bear and took the rest of the bag of dog food. He didn’t want the bear to come back for seconds once it woke up.



Black bear hunting season has been approved in Florida and will begin October 1. Cross and his neighbors hope this one won’t be a target.

BAKER LAKE, Wash. —

Agents from the department of Fish and Wildlife in Washington found a black bearsleeping off a major buzz, with three dozen empty cans of Rainier beer close by.

“This is a new one on me,” Sgt. Bill Heinck said. “I’ve known them to get into cans, but nothing like this.”

While a drunken bear is a bit unusual, the most unusual part of the story is what the bear left behind.

“He drank the Rainier and wouldn’t drink the Busch beer,” Mount Baker campground employee Lisa Broxson told NBC News.

“It definitely had a preference.”

Employees confirmed the bear tried one can of Busch beer, but ignored the rest.

Irritated by attempts to get it to leave, the bear climbed a tree and went back to sleep. Workers eventually used donuts, honey, and two more cans of Rainier to trap the animal and take it to another location.
