OK, there’s no way I could be making this up. Only a fool mixes bears and beer…

BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) — A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.
The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.
“There’s a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage,” zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.
Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.
Makes me wonder if the guy (victim) had been drinking Grizzly long-necks?

Oh, that’s just stupid. Drunk people do the dumbest things.
He also must have been pretty drunk if he didn’t feel bears chewing on him. Of course, if there was a festival nearby maybe no one heard him yelling.

Dan – I’ve had some experience with beer and “cougars”, but never bears…

Maybe the bears coaxed him into bringing them a beer. Think bears like beer? Why not?
