A three-legged bear recently startled a Florida family when it walked onto their property, peered into their fridge and popped open some cool ones.

The cavalier black bear is known as “Tripod” in the Lake Mary community in which he’s recently been spotted roaming, according to NBC affiliate WESH 2. Most recently, he was seen by the Diglio family — who are local to the area — on their security camera on Aug. 3.
