India, Aug. 24 -- A large brown bear broke into a popular ice cream shop in South Lake Tahoe and went straight for one flavor.

The bear, nicknamed Fuzzy, entered the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson around 4 a.m. Sunday, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.

It ended up behind the counter and started digging into tubs of ice cream. Deputies who arrived said they "could barely believe their eyes." Photos shared by the Sheriff's Office showed the animal staring into the camera after being caught in the act.

The bear focused on a tub of strawberry ice cream but also sampled other flavors, leaving tubs knocked over and paw prints across the shop floor, the New York Times reported.
