A young American black bear decided to break into a California zoo to socialize with the other furry bears.
“He was really, really interested in our three bears, and he introduced himself to all of them through the fence,” Jim Campbell-Spickler, the zoo’s director, told SFGATE about their guest.
“The interaction between them was really sweet, calm and curious. We think he was just looking for a friend, though maybe that’s anthropomorphizing, of course,” Campbell-Spickler added.
The bear was ‘gently encouraged’ by staff, aided by officers from the Eureka Police Department and a warden from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, to leave though they still have no idea how he got in in the first place.
