A freedom-loving grizzly bear named Boo smashed a heavy steel door and barreled through two electric fences to escape a second time from a resort near this south-central British Columbia town.
Boo was recaptured Friday, two weeks after breaking out of an artificial den at the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, but escaped from tighter confinement within a day, resort spokesman Michael Dalzell said Tuesday.
"It's unbelievable," Dalzell said. "We thought there was no way, it was absolutely impossible, but he found a way. It was basically like breaking out of Fort Knox."
He said the bear bashed a nearly 400-pound steel door off its four bolts, destroyed an electrical box while tearing through two electric fences and scrambled over a 12-foot fence anchored with 2 feet of steel below ground.
Sounds like he's having a ball.
No Freedom! No Peace!
Looks like he didn't want to be a wimp!
Hanging a 400 pound door with only four bolts doesn't sound like serious confinement to me.
We know he's not a French bear!
A 440 lbs. steel door?
I wonder how wide the door was, and what secured the door to the walls.
There might be nothing incredible about the bear bashing through if the door was wide enough for the bear to use its mass effectively.
I believe the professor is right. The bear undoubtedly weighs more than 400 lbs. Whoever thought that would contain him is lucky to walk away with his own huevos, doncha think? ;o)
No fair! You know how I LOVE pictures! ;o)
I guess room service must be real bad.
Enlighten me. A French bear would be different how...?
Sounds like he felt that his quarters were
uhhhh
unbearable.
I think that is actually Yogi and not Boo - he's evidently smarter than the average bear!
To be sure. Ping Millee and Xena...
Ellen?! "Boo has been to Ellen back..."
If someone was gonna cut off my huevos I would probably find a way through a 400 lb door too.
Hey Boo-boo, they guys are planning to nix my nards. Time to blow out of this pop-sic-le stand.
