A Kentucky homeowner got a rude awakening last Wednesday when a black bear crashed through their kitchen ceiling and landed right onto their stove. Bell County Game Warden Derick Creech responded to the unusual call around 5 a.m., according to a statement released Sunday by Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement.
Upon arrival, Warden Creech found the bear casually perched atop the stove. It appears the bear climbed an exterior ladder, squeezed into the attic, and then, dramatically, fell through the ceiling into the kitchen below.
The startled bear was ushered back into the wilderness by Warden Creech. The extent of the damage to the home is unknown.
