Hungover Bear Goes Brunching in British Columbia

A 500-pound black bear reportedly drunk on fermented apples rampaged through Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, this week.

The boozing bear was first spotted at 6 a.m, sleeping on a resident's front porch. For the next several hours and into Thursday night, the bear ran through the neighborhood, occasionally chasing conservation officers, seemingly impervious to rubber bullets and pepper spray and even causing the lock down of a local school.

This news comes just days after a "bear at door" thwarted a Canada Post employee's attempt to deliver a package. The location of the mail-hating driveway bear wasn't far from the hungover bear, but they are apparently not the same animal.

The hungover bear -- who may or may not have been hungover -- eventually passed out in a blackberry bush to sleep it off.

It is not yet known whether or not the two bears were working together to terrorize British Columbia, or if there are just a crazy amount of bears there.
