A bear walks into a bar... and is swiftly turfed out by a no-nonsense Alaskan barmaid. (Daily Mail)
• 500lb black bear casually sauntered into Alaskan Bar & Hotel in Juneau
• Bear expert Ryan Scott says: 'It is good news the bear obliged'
• Black bears can weigh more than 500lbs and eat humans when hungry

The hotel has now put video footage of the incident on its Facebook page under the caption: 'Ariel yelled at him and he listened! Yes, we have tough bartenders!

Luckily for Ms Svetlik-McCarthy, black bears in Alaska tend to feel sluggish rather than ravenous at this time of year.

According to Bear.org, September means ripe acorns which means bears fill up on them and are consequently less hungry and less of a threat to humans. Towards the end of the month they start to go in to hibernation, and don't wake up until spring.

Story, pictures, and video at the link (this last silent, so one has to mentally supply bartender Ariel Svetlik-McCarthy screaming, "No, bear, get out. No, you can't be in here!" at bear).

Wild moose on the loose tranquilized and captured after WEEKS of terrorizing Colorado residents. (Daily Mail)

Things in Juneau had gotten a bit hot for Moose, who then traveled to CO and got in a spot of bother down there.

Cool. But it should have read 'bear walks into a bar for a beer'.

I heard the bar wouldn't serve the bear because he wasn't wearing a shirt or shoes...

:floorlaugh:

So John Kerry walks into a bar and the bartender says..."so why the long face"...
