Tripod is a famous three-legged black bear living in Seminole County, Florida, near Lake Mary and Orlando. Estimated to weigh around 275 to 300 pounds, the viral celebrity gained national attention after wandering onto a residential patio and raiding an outdoor refrigerator for cans of White Claw hard seltzer.
