SEE IT: Bear climbs utility pole in Arizona, causing power outage
It caused one bear of a problem.
A small bear climbed a utility pole in southern Arizona, forcing the local power company to shut off electricity until the beast climbed down.

They cut power to the pole before going up in their boom truck basket. The bear, likely startled up the pole, then moved off uninjured. pic.twitter.com/BIjetTHsja AZ Game & Fish Dept (@azgfdTucson) June 8, 2021
