Well, Bless Your Heart, Rudolph!

– A bear in Florida took a real liking to some holiday lawn ornamentation, going so far as to ‘reindeer-nap’ one of the poor creatures.
– The black bear was captured on a Ring doorbell camera deconstructing two decorative reindeer in the front yard of a Florida Home.
– After having a “tussle” with the pair of reindeer, the bear decided to take one of them away with him into the wilderness.

Black Bear Goes Shopping for Christmas Décor in Florida Yard

Say Cheers to That Audacious Ursine, Honey!

Well, sugar, you just can’t make this stuff up! A bear in the Sunshine State decided he’d spruce up his own den by borrowing a couple of reindeer from some folks’ yard. I reckon he thought it was all-you-can-take at Reindeer buffet. Caught right there in the act on a doorbell camera, bless his fuzzy heart. Now, I’ve seen a squirrel run off with a string of Christmas lights, but a bear carting off a full-sized reindeer, now that takes the fruitcake!

Imagine sitting down to your Christmas supper and you spot a black bear out your window, happily parading your festive decoration in his jaw. Hoo-wee, talk about an unexpected guest. Gives a whole new meaning to “bearly” making it through the Holidays, doesn’t it, darlin’?

So to all you folks out there decorating for the holidays, be sure to secure your inflatable reindeer or you might just find a big ol’ Florida Black bear adding it to his den decor. But hey, maybe that ain’t so bad. After all, nothing says ‘Merry Christmas’ quite like sharing the holiday spirit with our woodland neighbors. So, Merry Grizz-mas, y’all!
