**BREAKING: BEAR CAUGHT SLEEPING ON THE JOB… ER, CONSTRUCTION SITE**
In a bizarre incident that has left wildlife experts and construction workers alike scratching their heads, a Florida police department shared a photo of a bear caught taking a nap in the under-construction lobby of a condominium building.
The bear, estimated to be around 500 pounds of fluffy fury, was found snoozing peacefully amidst a sea of construction equipment and half-built concrete pillars. Witnesses described the scene as “surreal” and “like something out of a cartoon.”
“I was just trying to get some work done, and suddenly there’s a bear snoring away on the couch,” said Joe Smith, a construction worker on the site. “I mean, I’ve seen some weird things in my time, but this takes the cake. Or should I say, the honey?”
According to eyewitnesses, the bear apparently wandered onto the construction site through an open gate and made itself at home. It was seen strolling through the lobby, sniffing around for snacks, and eventually settling in for a nice long nap on a pile of freshly poured concrete.
“It was like it owned the place,” said Jane Doe, a passerby who snapped a photo of the slumbering bear. “I mean, who needs a hotel when you’ve got a condo under construction, right?”
The bear, whose name has not been released, was reportedly unharmed and unresponsive to attempts to wake it. Wildlife experts were called to the scene, and after a thorough examination, they determined that the bear was simply “exhausted from all the bear-ential activities.”
The condo building, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year, has been dubbed “Bear-ifornia” by locals. When asked for comment, the building’s developer simply shrugged and said, “Hey, at least it’s not a raccoon. Those guys are always causing trouble.”
The bear, meanwhile, has been relocated to a nearby wildlife sanctuary, where it will reportedly be treated to a relaxing spa day and a strict no-napping policy.
**UPDATE:** The police department has announced that they will be offering a special “Bear- Nap- amnesia” discount on all bear-related fines and citations. When asked for comment, the police chief simply yawned and said, “We’re just bear-ly keeping up with all the bear-related puns.”
