Let’s imagine, for a moment, that it’s Sunday morning. The sun is gently pouring through the windows, you’re still lounging about in your pajamas, and the only thing on your mind is how to make the perfect eggs Benedict or whether it’s a pancakes kind of day. Then, you hear an odd noise. The clink of glass, perhaps? Or the distinct rattle of the fridge door being opened.

Now, most people would assume it's a mischievous child raiding the fridge early or perhaps an overly eager spouse trying to "help" with breakfast. But no, this isn't your ordinary family breakfast interruption. When you walk into your kitchen, you find yourself face to face with a massive, fur-covered, snout-stuffed surprise. A bear.
