You beat me to this by seconds!
Best bit:
The black bear is the most common bear in the forests of North America - where it is unlikely they are given giant plastic watercraft.

I challenge you for the crown, so-called Emperor!
You issued the challenge, I pick the weapons and I choose... bears in pedalos. I'll see you by the lake at dawn but you must provide your own bear.
Me thinking about my strategy:
Any luck catching them bears?
They're waterborne now, they'll need to call the SBS.
It's just the one bear, actually.
They look beary legal to me
This is the best summary I could come up with:
These black bears wasted no time clambering on to a swan pedalo when it appeared in their enclosure at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire.
Keeper Tommy Babbington added the quirky paddle boat to keep the animals entertained after a large pool of water formed at the site during the recent wet weather.
"We love devising new ways to provide food, scent and habitat enrichment that stimulates their natural foraging behaviours," added Mr Babbington.
"There's been so much wet weather this year that a new mini lake has formed in the black bears' drive-through, so we had the idea of turning this into interesting enrichment for them.
"The sleuth of bears was immediately intrigued by their new neighbour and wasted no time in investigating the swan paddle boat."
