[Regnum] At the British Wildwood Devon Zoo, two brown bears escaped from their enclosure and ate all the honey in the food warehouse. This was stated in a statement by the institution's press service on June 24 on Facebook (owned by Meta, a company recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).
"We would like to thank everyone for their messages of support following the recent incident involving our European brown bears Mish and Lucy. We can confirm that this was the result of an operational error which allowed the bears to briefly enter a staff-only food storage area," the statement read.
The zoo noted that both bears fell asleep immediately after the "crime" was committed. The park was also closed for the duration of the escape, and the police later arrived to investigate the circumstances of the incident.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on June 23 in the American state of Utah, a black bear climbed into the house of a man sleeping on a cot and bit him on the arm. The man tried to pretend to be dead, but the animal did not believe him. The victim was then taken to the hospital and given first aid. The bear was shot.
