Bear-strong: Food dispenser fails the test
The Tierpark Bern has installed a new food dispenser, which was completely destroyed by bear Finn after just one day.
When a food dispenser is installed at the animal park, 18-year-old bear Finn gets straight to work because he does not want to wait for his food.
The animal park comments on its Instagram video, which shows the bear in action, with the words: «The test food dispenser in the Bear Park does not survive the bear test.»
The video shows Finn rearing up to his full height and swinging against the metal structure. Once, twice — by the seventh powerful shove, the mast finally collapses completely.
The animal park adds: «The keepers will have to build something sturdier.» We shall see whether the next construction can withstand the heavyweight — after all, this was only a test.
The dispenser had, incidentally, already been installed on Friday, but was only filled with food on Monday and promptly destroyed.
