Watch Bear Cool Down With Swim in Lake Parsippany
Bruin went for a dip on a hot day before being chased back into the woods by law enforcement officials, report says.
Sometimes you just have to beat the heat no matter what.
That's what one wondering bear did this week by swimming in Lake Parsippany for a while before animal control and law enforcement officials could corner the bruin and push it back into the woods, according to dailyrecord.com.
Police were able to herd the bear and shoot it with beanbags, forcing it to flee into the woods, the report said.
A perimeter was set up along Lake Shore Drive so residents could not come in contact with the wayward woodland creature, the report said.
