Warm weather wrecks Russian bears' winter slumber

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Insomniac bears are roaming the forests of southwestern Siberia scaring local people as the weather stays too warm for the animals to fall into their usual winter slumber.

The furry mammals escape harsh winters by going to sleep in October-November for around six months, but in the snowless Kemerovo region where the weather is unseasonably warm, bears have no desire yet to hibernate.....

"At the moment there is enough fodder, so they are not wreaking any havoc," Maslova said.

Not wreaking any havoc....yet!!!

Someone call Stephen Colbert!
