"He ate the fish food we had outside next to our fish tank and then proceeded to the bar," Faneite-Diglio
told WESH-TV. "He took three White Claws, drank, and left very happy. His favorite flavor is mango and strawberry."
Joseph said seeing the bear open the fridge spurred him to lock the doors of the house in case Tripod went looking for more snacks.
The family said the bear left after a few minutes, with the only damage being the stolen snacks and a hole in the screen.
"I was not scared because we know the bear really well. He lives here; we respect their habitat as much as we can," Faneite-Diglio said.
