Bear with Us

Cocaine Bear, also known as Pablo Escobear was a 175-pound (79 kg) male American black bear that fatally overdosed on cocaine in 1985. The cocaine had been dropped by a group of drug smugglers in the wilderness in Tennessee, United States. After the bear was found dead in northern Georgia, he was taxidermied and eventually displayed at a shopping mall in Kentucky. He inspired the 2023 comedy horror film Cocaine Bear, as well as the 2023 documentary film Cocaine Bear: The True Story.
