Berlin bear wants out bad

August 31, 2004

Juan is a bear at the Berlin Zoo who is apparently all done with the whole cage thing. After using a log as a raft to cross a moat, then scaling a wall, he was about to commandeer a bike and leave behind a life of boredom and constant observation for one of ice cream, rich coffee drinks and "all nude, all the time!" when zookeepers shot him with tranquilizer darts.

"He had a backpack filled with porn, Evian and Clark bars," one zookeeper explained. "I think perhaps he thought that this is how one gets a date. I knew we never should have given him that climbing gear for Christmas."

Juan was headed for a playground where it is presumed that he was going to taunt the children and make them cry so he could have the swings all to himself. Either that or take a dump in the sandbox.
