Black bear found in unusual spot

WOOD COUNTY - During the winter months, bears go into hibernation.

But one bear in northern Wisconsin, chose an unusual place to slumber.

Residents in Wood County found a black bear hibernating in a drain tunnel.

Wildlife officials say black bears normally hibernate for about four months out of the year.

They say man-made areas, like the drain, are not uncommon spots for bears to pick.

Officials say black bears are fairly submissive, so they don't think the bear serves as a concern to the public.
