Russian Bears Addicted to Jet Fuel

In Russia, scientists are beginning to notice a frightening trend in brown bears. At the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, bears have been observed taking long sniffs of discarded barrels of jet fuel, often until they pass out. Researchers have noticed that some of the bears are beginning to display addict behaviors, a  truly frightening trend. Some of the bears have even been known to approach landing helicopters, perhaps expecting some of that succulent jet fuel. The habit of inhaling kerosene and gasoline is not a particularly healthy one, and scientists will continue to observe this phenomenon, and perhaps intervene for the sake of the bears' well-being. However, these are some of the largest bears in the world, weighing up to 1,200 lbs, and it is still unknown whether their addiction will make them more aggressive towards humans.
