The coming bear revolution was pushed back another day yesterday when an attempt by a Grizzly bear in the Minnesota Zoo to break the glass enclosure in its habitat failed.

According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, a male bear named Kenai dug up a basketball-sized rock, picked it up with its bear hands and repeatedly slammed it into a glass pane. The thick glass held and no animals or zoo-goers were harmed.

The Minnesota Zoo has temporarily moved the bears from their habitat. They will be returned when the glass panel is replaced and everything in the enclosure is anchored more securely.

A spokesperson for the zoo told the Star Tribune that Kenai is a "clown" who likes to "fool around in the water" and "didn’t know what he was doing."

Precisely what Kenai wants you to think -- the bears are not trying to take over the world.
