NK troops disguised as 'indigenous' people in Far East for combat against Ukraine: report
A Wisconsin homeowner said a bear was able to break through a garage window and walk off with a 50-pound bag of sunflower seeds without puncturing the bag.
Randy Murray of Lincoln County said he discovered a garage window was broken last week and further investigation revealed his large bag of sunflower seeds was missing, WAOW-TV, Wausau, reported Wednesday.
“Must have been a crack in one of the windows,” Murray said. “Put his paw in and pulled everything out. Knocked everything down on the inside.”
Local authorities agreed the culprit was likely a bear.
“It was pretty obvious that it was a bear,” Lincoln County Sheriff‘s Department Deputy Mike Sundquist said. “The claw marks were pretty obviously a bear. There appeared to be sharp indentations into the wooden window sill with long scratches behind them.”
Murray said the bear appears to have returned at least one more time and trashed the garage when it was unable to find anymore food.
“How it dragged a 50 pound bag of sunflower seed out of its container over a table, through a window and not break it open, I have no idea,” Murray said. “Still haven’t found the bag.” (UPI)

배고픈 곰, 20kg 씨앗 자루 훔쳐 도주
미국 위스콘신에서 곰이 차고의 창문을 깨고 해바라기씨가 들어있는 자루를 훔쳐 달아 났다.
놀라운 사실은 곰의 날카로운 발로 22kg(50 파운드)가량의 무거운 자루를 작은 구멍조차 내지 않고 완벽하게 훔쳐 달아났다는 것이다.
집주인인 랜디 머레이는 지난주 자택의 주차장 창문이 깨져있는 것을 발견하고 조사에 들어가 해바라기씨가 들어있는 큰 자루가 사라진 사실을 깨달았다.
그는 “창문들 중에 갈라진 틈이 있었던 것이 분명하다. 그 곰은 발을 넣어 주차장 속의 물건들을 끄집어 내고, 쓰러뜨렸다”라고 말했다.
지역 관계자 또한 “발톱자국을 볼 때 곰이 저지를 일이 확실하다. 창문의 나무 창틀에 남겨진 날카롭고 긴 자국이 남아있다”고 말해 곰이 사건의 범인임을 확인 시켰다.
머레이는 그 곰이 적어도 한 번 이상 집으로 다시 돌아와 더 이상의 식량을 찾지 못하자 차고를 엉망으로 만들었다고 말했다.
그는 “어떻게 이 곰이 창문을 통해 탁자 넘어 있던 해바라기씨 용기를 끄집어 냈는지 그리고 그 자루를 안전하게 운반했는지 의문이다. 아직도 자루를 찾지 못했다”고 덧붙였다.
