Biologists with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game reported this week that a resident brown bear, currently asleep on Chilly Ridge, had just broken the regional record by hitting the ‘snooze’ button on his alarm clock for the six hundredth consecutive time.

“Bear 681, better known as Fishy McBreath, is truly a marathon hibernator,” said state biologist and alarm-clock technician Harold Nerdington. “We originally started outfitting the radio collars with tiny alarm clocks back in 2005 to increase bear productivity metrics, and track circadian rhythms. But they just hit snooze over and over.

McBreath soundly beat out the previous record holder, a 700-pound sow named Big Bertha, who hit snooze 486 times before crushing the device between her vise-like jaws.
