Party animal caught in a cooler

Sometimes you just gotta have a cool one.

In Hayward, WI, the other day the beer-seeker was a 125-pound black bear that wandered into a grocery store via the automatic doors, climbed 12 feet up on a shelf in the beer cooler, and sat there for about an hour.

Eventually staff from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources showed up and tranquilized the bear so it could be hauled away.

Store employees said the well-behaved bear did not consume any beer.
