A three-legged bear in Florida has been spotted raiding a poolside refrigerator for cans of White Claw hard seltzer before heading back into the woods.

Known in the Lake Mary neighborhood as “Tripod”, the bear had been seen before, according to local TV station WESH. But on this particular visit to a resident’s garden, the bear launched a brazen theft of food and drinks on a swimming pool area.

“He ate the fish food we had outside next to our fish tank and then proceeded to the bar,” Josaury Faneite-Diglio told WESH. “He took three White Claws, drank, and left very happy. His favorite flavor is mango and strawberry.”

Faneite-Diglio noticed the bear after getting an alert on her phone from a security camera on her property.

“I was not scared because we know the bear really well. He lives here; we respect their habitat as much as we can,” she told the TV station.

It is not known how the bear lost a leg.
