Bear visits human neighbors, plops down at their picnic table

Wonder if he just forgot his picnic basket. A family in Juneau, Alaska, had a real-life encounter with a bear that wasn’t Yogi last week.

The Bullman family had a black bear visit their back yard, but it wasn't just milling around the property. The big bruin sat himself down, just like a person, at a picnic table, KTVA reported. It looked like he was waiting for an elk burger, or maybe just the elk for dinner.
