Watch: Bear scampers through grocery store in Arizona
A bear made its way into a grocery store in Oro Valley, Arizona, on Monday, scampering around the aisles as startled shoppers watched.Charlie Alolkoy, who has been photographing wildlife for decades, told KVOA he has never encountered a bear before – and suddenly one was right in front of him in a grocery store. “Low and behold, I get the biggest wildlife I’ve seen up to this point,” he said. The video shows the bear cub darting past aisles, not very interested in the products Fry’s grocery store had to offer. “The produce department has honey cones you can buy – and he just walked past it,” Alolkoy said.The bear left the store on its own and no one was hurt.While bear sightings in Arizona aren’t uncommon, seeing one in a store is very rare. Officials remind people not to leave food out for wildlife and caution against allowing animals, such as bears, to associate food with humans.
