Stupid Bear Thinks It Goes To School

Hey, where’s his hall pass?

A student at a Montana high school captured footage of a black bear taking an early morning stroll through a school hallway before the start of classes.

According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, a custodian first spotted the bear traversing the football field at 7:30 a.m. – perhaps prompting him to think, “She doesn’t even go here!”

“A staff member at the school came into their meeting and said ‘There’s a bear in the school!’ So the deputy and the assistant principal found the bear in the hallways”, Musson said.

FWP says that Bozeman police officers chased the bear out of the school.

The incident is the latest in several attacks in the Northern Rockies involving bears, whose desperate search for food like berries amid spare mountain supplies during a persistent drought has led them to lower elevations where they can run into people and conflicts. The bear left through another open door after about a minute.

“This is my first “bear-in-a-building” experience”. Nice try, bears, but that won’t cut it. Its mascot is, unfortunately, not a bear, as that would have been too ironic for words. A pile of bear crap?

Against the fine advice of such movies as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and She’s the Man, a bear visited Bozeman High school in (you guessed it!) Bozeman, Montana. Use ammonia or bleach when you do clean it, and keep it away from your house.

Bozeman High School, with an enrollment of around 1,800 students, is the only public high school in the city of Bozeman (population: 37,000).
