Enormous bear named Hank The Tank is actually three enormous bears we will now call Hanks The Tanks
DNA evidence has established that three bears are responsible for Hank's break-ins
On Tuesday, we learned of a 500-pound black bear dubbed Hank The Tank who had announced his presence as the new ruler of California by using his massive strength to break into homes and rummage around for delicious human food. Now, several days having passed, it turns out that Hank is not solely responsible for this campaign of serial garbage theft. Hank The Tank is actually three bears, a triumvirate of furry overlords who will now be referred to as Hanks The Tanks.
The Sacramento Bee reports that officials from the California Department Of Fish And Wildlife (CDFW) explained yesterday that “DNA samples collected from [Hanks-surveyed] properties showed that at least two other large black bears had broken into some of the homes.” In short, while one Hank weighs about as much as three ordinary black bears on his own, DNA evidence has showed that his work is carried out by a trio of massive bears.
