So here's the thing: Discovery Park is very deeply embedded inside urban development. One has to traverse dozens of miles of densely-populated area to reach the nearest (known) ursine habitat. Yet no one saw this intruder until it broke out into Magnolia and headed north. Unlike worms and frogs, (most) bears are not known to be borne aloft by rainclouds. So how did it get to Discovery Park? Either someone gave this fellow a balloon, or the bears of Kitsap County have developed a heretofore unprecedented amphibious capability, like Komodo Dragons scuttling out of the surf to nosh on unsuspecting sunbathers.

ReplyDeleteThat...is disturbingly close to my house and pets.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it escaped from Fort Lawton. Who knows what they do there. Does it have laser beams on its head?
Or it clung to the underside of someone's boat who came into Shilshole like a navy frogbear.
An Owlbear perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, it's worth noting that Stephen Colbert was right on the money with this one.
