not as considerate as the American bears, they caused bear carnage innit.. though surely if he’s studied “natural resource management and bears”, you wouldn’t leave a great stash of beer, sweets and honey unattended? it seems like the sort of thing that bears would want to get at the world over..
A family of bears has broken into a holiday cabin in Norway and consumed more than 100 cans of beer.
A mother bear and her three cubs broke into the wooden lodge in the north of the country by ripping off a wall, according to Norway’s Finnmarken newspaper, and went on to eat and drink nearly all its contents.
The cabin’s owner, Even Borthen Nilsen, told reporters that over 100 cans of Norwegian beer – stored in the hut in preparation for the autumn hunting season – had disappeared.
Bear excrement and footprints – and an awful stench – left him in no doubt that it was the animals that had trashed the place during a night of revelry.
The carnage was discovered by Mr Borthen Nilsen’s mother and grandmother when they returned to the family-owned 26-square foot hut in Jarfjord in Finnmarken.
The bears had also polished off their store of marshmallows, chocolate spread and honey.
Mr Borthen Nilsen, who has studied natural resource management and bears, said: “They had a hell of a party in there.
“The entire cabin was destroyed. The beds and all kitchen appliances, stove, oven and cupboards and shelves were all smashed to pieces.
“They have bitten into the cans and drunk the beer.
“It’s almost like taken out of Goldilocks and the three bears.”
He added that now that the mother had shown her cubs how to get into the cabin and given them a taste for beer, he feared they might come back for more.
