Mama Bear, Cub Spotted at Connecticut School

No students were in the classroom at the time

Staff members at Chippens Hill Middle School in Bristol, Connecticut, had quite the view on Thursday afternoon when two bears showed up after school.

The curious mother bear walked right up to the window of a sixth-grade classroom on Peacedale Street and peered in. When her cub saw what she was doing, the cub followed suit and did the same, according to Carrie Aldieri, a staff member at the school, who snapped a photo.

No students were in the classroom at the time of the visit.

Police said they received a call about the bears at 3:19 p.m., but the mama and cub had left by the time they arrived.
