Sounds like it played with some of their ~~toys~~ enrichment materials too. The zoo bears are unreleasable, but this seems fine imho and I'm glad the keepers were nice about it when they escorted the bear back out to the woods.

I hope they gave it a toy ;_;

I bet they're secretly hoping it will come back to play again, as long as it behaves itself and doesn't visit during people hours.

"So, I hear that you get regular meals here and don't even have to rummage through trash for them. How can I get in on this sweet deal?"
