**BREAKING: Bear Necessities Met with Un-BEAR-ievable Antics at California Wildlife Center**
In a bizarre incident that has left wildlife experts and onlookers alike in stitches, a team of dedicated employees at a California wildlife center donned full-body bear costumes to care for a 2-month-old black bear cub.
According to sources, the cub, affectionately known as “Binky,” was in need of around-the-clock care, but the center’s staff was hesitant to get too close to the tiny ball of fluff for fear of being mauled. That was when they hatched a plan to dress up as bears themselves.
“I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear a bear suit to work?” said center spokesperson, Jane Smith. “It was either that or risk losing a limb to a hungry cub. We chose the bear suits.”
The team of bear-clad caregivers reportedly spent hours feeding, cuddling, and even singing lullabies to Binky, who seemed completely oblivious to the absurdity of it all.
“I swear, that little guy was looking at us like, ‘What’s with the weird smell and these giant paws?'” said wildlife technician, John Doe, who donned a bear costume for the task. “But hey, it worked! Binky loved us, and we loved Binky.”
The bear-suited staff even took turns “bear-hugging” Binky, carefully cradling the cub in their arms as they went about their daily routine.
“It was like we were in a bear-themed episode of ‘The Office,'” laughed Smith. “We were all just trying not to trip over our own paws… I mean, feet.”
As Binky grows stronger and more rambunctious by the day, the center’s staff is bracing themselves for the next phase of bear-raising: toddler-dom.
“We’re already preparing for the tantrums, the destroyed furniture, and the inevitable bear-sized hole in the wall,” said Doe, shaking his head. “But hey, at least we’ll be ready… in bear suits.”
The center plans to release Binky back into the wild once the cub is old enough, but until then, the bear-clad staff will continue to provide top-notch care – and entertainment – for the adorable young bear.
