A military hospital in Alaska received an extraordinary late-night visitor when a black bear wandered through its emergency department, discovered a stash of Halloween treats, and helped itself to an unexpected midnight feast.
The bizarre encounter unfolded at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), near Anchorage, where wildlife encounters are hardly unusual.
But even by Alaska standards, a hungry bear strolling into a hospital and raiding the candy supply is something few people could have imagined.
