Although this isn’t the first time a bear has made its way onto Penn State’s campus, the bear’s arrival interrupted an otherwise peaceful Monday night. Most folks weren’t exactly sure how to react.

Others lamented that the bear sighting was just another 2020-esque curveball.

The alert, in particular, isn’t one that some folks will be forgetting any time soon.

After a suspenseful few minutes, Penn State sent out another alert giving an all-clear saying that the bear had left campus.
