Captive Grizzly Bear Grabs Rock, Shatters His Glass Enclosure

A grizzly bear at the Minnesota Zoo gave visitors quite a scare on Monday when he staged an apparent breakout attempt.



According to onlookers, the brown bear dug up a basketball-sized rock from his exhibit and repeatedly slammed it against the glass barrier of his enclosure, shattering the window.

The outer layers of the glass held firm, and the exhibit's three bears were ushered into another area until the window could be replaced.



Tony Fisher, animal collections manager for the zoo, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that anything the bears are able to lift is supposed to be secured to the ground to prevent incidents like this. "He didn't know what he was doing," Fisher told the outlet. "He was just being a bear."

And this past April, an aggravated gorilla broke the glass in his enclosure at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska.

3. I'd like to see the PETA clowns tell the bear he needs to go vegan.

4. Actually, bears are omnivores, and they're more likely to prefer ants and grubs to other mammals.

And, then there are those picky pandas and their veggy ways. Nothing but the most tender bamboo shoots will do. NOTHING!

11. These poor creatures are stressed...

I feel so sorry for them, trapped in these places...

13. I certainly hope they have more space to roam in than

what we see in the videos.

12. Can't get the video of the old bear, retired from zoodom in real nature for the first time.

These are sentient creatures.
