Bear Casually Walks Into Montana High School Because Why Not?

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear expert Jamie Jonkel says 14 bears have died on highways near the Clark Fork and lower Blackfoot river valleys. The bear walked into the school courtyard and then through a garage door and down a long, locker-lined hall.

A bear wandered the into a high school in Bozeman, Mont., on Wednesday and made itself at home before being escorted out.

Students seemed excited about the news, tweeting memes about the new addition to their school. A person in the foreground appears to fit the appearance of Bozeman High Principal Kevin Conwell. “They were being careful”.

“They got it out of the school”, but it wasn’t captured, Frye said. “They were the ones that were pushing the bear out”.

As human development encroaches on wildlife’s habitats, encounters with wild animals – including bears – are on the increase, according to National Geographic. Hopefully the bear has found a more habitable spot for itself by now and that its feelings weren’t too hurt by the rejection. “It was a nice, pretty black bear”, he added.

It was there – in an area with brush and trees – that she was surprised by the bear.

The woman had been walking her dog at the Point of Rocks Fishing Access Site when the incident occurred. Open compost piles with kitchen scraps are irresistible to bears.

“I’m sure we’ve had animals in the school before”, he told the Chronicle, “but I’m not aware of a bear”.
