The Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, California, has three black bears: Tule, Ishung, and Kunabulilh. But Friday morning last week, they had four bears. Zoo staff arrived to find a juvenile black bear had made its way into the zoo and was hanging around the bear enclosure. The young bear was interacting with all three of the zoo's bears, in a calm and polite manner.
Zoo staff called the Eureka Police Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and then observed from a distance. When reinforcements arrived, they all collaborated to usher the guest out of the zoo and back into the 67-acre Sequoia Park, from which they assumed he had originated. The bear didn't give them any problem about leaving. They never found any breaches in the zoo's fencing, but the zoo's director speculated he may have climbed a tree and made it over the fence. -via Boing Boing
