Trouble Bruin

Huge Bear Was Just An Easy Target

This post is dedicated to the very talented British blogger Bob T. Bear Esq. German police were called out midweek, after sightings of a huge bear, but found the beast was a giant stuffed teddy. Locals in the Black Forest region in south-west Germany rang police after they saw a brown bear in woods near the town of Titisee-Neustadt. Police, fearing another case like Bruno the bear that last year rampaged around the Alpine border region between Bavaria and Austria killing livestock, sent out a special squad to capture it. But a police spokesman said, "It had been put there by a local archery club to use as a target."
