Boo, a 4 1/2-year-old orphan, escaped from his 22-acre enclosure at the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in search of female companionship, the Globe and Mail reported Wednesday.

He apparently got what he was looking for since Boo spent three of the five weeks in the company of a female bear, a Kicking Horse spokesman said. "Yes, Boo could be a dad," spokesman Michael Dalzell told the newspaper, noting the bear returned thinner and very tired. He came back on his own accord Saturday, ate lunch and took a long nap. But the furry lothario's romantic adventures may be soon curbed, the newspaper said. Boo has twice been lured out of the sanctuary by summer romance and his keepers are brainstorming ways to discourage a "three-peat." The obvious solution would be to neuter him, but no decision had been made and "all possibilities are being discussed," Dalzell said.
