Bear gets comfy in beer cooler

A bear stunned shoppers at a Wisconsin grocery store after strolling in and climbing into the beer cooler.

The bear apparently got into the store through the automatic front doors and headed straight for the beer department.

It reportedly climbed up 12 feet onto a shelf in the cooler and sat for about an hour. Meantime the store was evacuated and wildlife officials were called.

The bear was tranquilized and removed from the store.

Store employees say the bear seemed happy and apparently did not actually consumer any of the alcohol.
