Bear cub wanders in the veg section of a US supermarket

A little bear cub decided to go exploring and found itself in a supermarket.

Perhaps he was feeling peckish, but shoppers in Ketchikan, Alaska in the US were surprised to see the bear climbing across the fruit and veg.

The bear had wandered into the store through the automatic doors and hopped into the display.

It managed to disrupt the fruit display before a brave customer managed to catch the cub and let it free outside.

Black bears are common in this part of America and live happily in the wild but do occasionally head towards towns in search of food.
