Sloth bears get drunk sometimes when they raid illegal stills and they can then be more dangerous than tigers.

I am not at all surprised that the bear in question mauled five people. It must have gotten drunk at an illegal still somewhere.

Seriously, Mehul, that is absolutely fascinating, and I wonder if that WAS the situation in this case. I have heard of Black Bear getting tipsy on old berries, but have never heard of an attack as a result.

My brother claims he saw a bunch of ducks get bombed off a rotten raspberry bush in his back yard. He insists it is true.
