On Thursday, two rangers near the town of Chorzow in southern Poland sought to tranquilize a bear which had wandered too close to the town. The results left a lot to be desired.

When the men approached, the bear suddenly woke up and gave chase. The bear is thought to be the same one that had been captured and removed from the village of Przemysl three weeks ago.

Maybe he's a really really really bad kisser?
