BURLINGTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A black bear has been spotted taking a stroll through Burlington.
Albert Henry, manager of the community’s Buffalo Wild Wings, said he made eye contact with the giant animal when he was taking out the trash.
“I noticed a shadow going by the dumpster, and I turned and we were looking at each other,” Henry said. “That’s when I was like, ‘Yeah, I am going back inside.'”
Massachusetts wildlife says the bear was likely looking for food before hibernation. That explains why the bear is making frequent stops around town.
The bear also stopped by the nearby movie theater.
“It’s a big bear, maybe 250 pounds,” Henry said. “It was on all fours and about four feet high.”
The bear is becoming quite the celebrity and now has a Twitter account.
One tweet reads: “Hey BWWings — any good stuff in the dumpster today? I’m hibernating soon and need to feed my family!”
Another tweet reads: “Second night in a row that I’m trying to get into AMCTheatres to see Wreck it Ralph. Maybe I’ll just sift through their dumpster instead.”
