People are coming from all over the world to see the famous Cocaine Bear. The bear’s story dates back to 1985, when Andrew Thornton, a true Kentucky Blue Blood, turned drug smuggler parachuted to his death over Tennessee with cocaine strapped to his body. A black bear ate 40 kg (75 pounds) of cocaine that Thornton dropped in Georgia’s Chattahoochee Forest.
The bear overdosed and died from the estimated $15 million worth of cocaine. Cocaine Bear was then stuffed and sold to Waylon Jennings, who didn’t even know the Cocaine Bear’s story; he was just a collector of such items. Jennings sent the bear as a gift to his friend in Nevada. When that friend died, “Pablo EskoBear,” as he is now known, was then sold to a pawn shop.
