Bear gets electric shock atop utility pole at Colorado Starbucks

June 30 (UPI) -- A man grabbing a morning coffee at a Colorado Starbucks captured video of a bear that climbed a utility pole outside the cafe and shocked itself.

Colin Burhart posted a video to YouTube showing the bear he noticed atop a utility pole while he was buying coffee Sunday morning at a Starbucks drive-through in Durango.

Burhart says in the video that the bear appears to have given itself an electric shock and utility workers were on the scene talking to Starbucks employees.

Unconfirmed reports suggested the cafe lost power for a time as a result of the bear touching the power line.

The video shows oblivious pedestrians walking their small dog directly under the bear without apparently noticing the potential danger from above.

A second video posted by Burhart shows the bear climb down on its own and wander away from the area with a slight limp.
