Just a friendly heads-up: an NHL mascot costume does not make you bear-proof. While the mascot might crush it on the ice, out in bear country, you’re still just a sweaty human burrito wrapped in synthetic fur. The story was reported by KOMO News.
Apparently, bears aren’t fooled by googly eyes or foam headdresses. So if you’re planning on fishing with or dressed like your favorite mascot—maybe rethink that game plan. Bears don’t care if you’re the face of a franchise… they just want snacks, and you might look like one!
Check out this clip of “Buoy”, Seattle Kraken’s mascot, while he was fishing in Alaska:
