He stumbled out of his slumber as warm temperatures tricked the big boy Boo into waking up.
The grizzly, located at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort bear refuge, headed down for his long winter鈥檚 nap in December. However, on Jan.14 the internet sensation emerged from his den for a look around.
According to the refuge, bears go into a state of torpor, not true hibernation, and it is common for animals to wake up in the den, and even sometimes leave the den if temperatures are higher than usual and snowpack is low, which is the case for this January so far.
But, don鈥檛 panic. Boo won鈥檛 be a grumpy bear, as he will be headed back to bed soon.
鈥淒on鈥檛 assume everyone鈥檚 having a full sleep! South-facing slopes especially are favourite denning areas for grizzlies in the region. Don鈥檛 be surprised if you see some tracks out there,鈥� stated the bear refuge on Instagram.
The social media post about Boo鈥檚 early rise garnered a lot of attention from the grizzly鈥檚 fans, prompting many comments, from, 鈥渟illy bear鈥� to 鈥済o back to bed, mister鈥�.
