A bear cub wandered into a grocery store in Ketchikan, Alaska, on Saturday, and climbed up on the fruits and vegetables in the produce case.

KRBD Radio in Ketchikan reported that police were called as the cub wandered back and forth in the case at Tatsuda's IGA; officers responded, and assisted as a customer got a hold of the cub and carried it outside, as seen in the video below.

Store employees reported that the cub entered the store through automatic doors.

It’s always a bit scary seeing a cub and not seeing the mother.

Sure, it’s cute, but I’d stay out of the aisles between the cub and the coffee aisle where the mother bear is grinding her gormet coffee.

You NEVER want to get between a mother and her cub.

i guess they just released it in the woods. i dont see how it could survive that.

We had about a 100lb bear wander into a store here. They didn’t grab that one by the neck.

I got dizzy watching, was the photographer drunk?

If we are to believe the news story...that was a customer who picked up the cubbie by the scruff. :)

Poor thing. It’s so small - hope it got a chance to eat something

“You NEVER want to get between a mother and her cub”.

Definitely NOT! I am sure Mama-Bear would not be pleased with anyone messing with her baby!!

“They didn’t grab that one by the neck”.

LOL!! If I had been in the store with a 100 lb bear wandering inside.... I’d be the one hiding in the freezer section!!!

N.J. man faces fines in bear attack Bill Jacobs of Gloucester City threw a bagel at the animal to get a snapshot in a state forest. His 5-year-old was clawed.

Smarter than the average bear!
