Let’s face it: Los Angeles is a weird place, just as the opening lines of The Big Lebowski suggest, and any number of strange dudes may be sauntering around the dairy aisle of a local Ralph’s grocery store on any given night.
This is a place where the impossible seems mundane and exaggeration is a lifestyle.
This week was certainly no exception.
A baby bear was caught on camera casually strolling down a Los Angeles grocery store Saturday morning.
The bizarre scene happened at a Ralph’s grocery store in the Porter Ranch suburban neighborhood of Los Angeles.
And you had better believe that someone in the store caught the whole thing on camera.
Actress Tisha Campbell posted a video of the bear, saying she just happened to walk into her local Ralph’s and see it.
Other shoppers are visible in the video, seeming completely unfazed as the bear strolls down an aisle.
Witnesses told FOX 11 that the bear had wandered into the store and was eventually shooed out by employees.
Images of the incident were soon appearing all over social media:
This morning at approximately 7am three bears were spotted in the Porter Ranch Town Center. One of the bears went as far as to venture into Ralphs! Thanks to Tisha Campbell, video can be seen below: https://t.co/MUp5nkGh0r pic.twitter.com/Pmyw3Zw5I8

The younger animal certainly looked like they were out for a leisurely stroll, but, at 120lbs, there was no telling what sort of damage the bear could cause.
Authorities were able to locate the animal behind another nearby store after Ralph’s customers shooed them away. The bear was tranquilized and then relocated to an appropriate nearby wildlife area.
