The Alaska Zoo in South Anchorage temporarily gained an extra animal Wednesday when a wild black bear strayed onto the zoo’s property and temporarily kept it from opening to the public.
Pat Lampi, the zoo's executive director, told Channel 2 News that the bear -- which had climbed a tree in the zoo -- had come down of its own accord at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Once it was on the ground, zoo staff promptly herded it off the premises.
"The bear has left the zoo," Lampi said. "It's out of the zoo and back in the wild."
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Reminds me of an evening years ago when I sat with my brother on his back porch in northern Minnesota, watching a young black bear up a tree. Brother's comment was, "Well, they were here first."
Vicki, that's how we look at it, too. They're sharing Anchorage with us, and vice-versa.
Padre, I swear it wasn't me, I was home the whole time....eveil grin
Maybe he was looking to 'upgrade' his housing... :-)
Rob, I wouldn't have considered you for the job ... until now. Hmm.
NFO, either that, or the promise of regular meals. :)
Rev. Paul,
I'm sure the bear was just visiting his friends for the day :-)
Heh - he probably realized he would get fed everyday!
When i get grumpy, my wife calls me a grizzly bear. :)
"The bear has left the zoo,"
And Elvis has left the building.

Sandy, that's entirely possible. Or maybe taunting the caged cousins.
Chickenmom, that's possible, too.
Rob, I think most of us married guys hear that from time to time.
Guffaw, that crossed my mind when I read the line. :)
