According to The Local, a mother and her three cubs ripped open a wall and forced their way into a cabin in Finnmark, in northeastern Norway, earlier this week – reportedly consuming more than 100 cans of beer along with a supply of marshmallows, honey and chocolate spread.
“The entire cabin was destroyed,” cabin owner Even Nilsen told the local Finnmarken.no daily. “The beds and all kitchen appliances, stove, oven and cupboards and shelves were all smashed to pieces.”
And yes, says Nilsen, the carousing marauders left calling cards: excrement outside the cabin and footprints on the windows.
In other trespassing bear news, Time reports that surveillance video from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Estes Park, Colo., shows a black bear went in and out of the store multiple times late last month to snag such goodies as English toffee, caramel-dipped chocolate-chip cookies and milk chocolate “cookie bears”.
“The bear took the comestibles without breaking a thing in the store, ate the stolen goodies outside, and then returned to the shop for more,” says Time. ” All told, the well-behaved bear made seven trips in roughly 15 minutes,” and the thief “left for good after a passing car scared him away.”
Thanks to P.C. for bringing this to the attention of the It’s Interesting community.
I don’t question the behavior of the bears, but, ratger, I question the diet of the Norwegian cabinmates.
