Stowaway Bear Rides Trash Truck To Fresno

Beware of hitchhikers — they just might be dangerous, as one, a live bear who caught a ride to Fresno, presumably was. The Fresno Bee reports that the animal was spotted this afternoon and is suspected of getting a ride down from the mountains on a trash truck. It disembarked in town where it was detained, uninjured, tranquilized by animal control officials and local police.

Some have nicknamed the bear Cinnamon, presumably as Paddington had already been claimed. Cinnamon is now headed home to the Hume Lake area, the paper reports.
