Mike Potter, a Montana artist describes seeing something unusual, "It was a Montana moment I'll never forget, I mean I grew up here in Whitefish, Montana and when I saw that, that is what makes Montana great."

What Mike Potter is talking about is this video with a bear that has something in it's mouth that looks an awful lot like a laptop or a strange piece of wood.

"As I drew focus and zoomed in with my phone, I could see it clearer. And then when I was editing the video the next morning, I zoomed in at 100-percent and it just appeared to have a little micro-logo on it and shading right where a laptop would fold."

As bears emerge from hibernation, they are hungry but Potter is not sure if this big guy was in search of an Apple or a PC.
Wildlife experts say bears will dine on anything from berries, fish vegetation but a laptop -- probably not.

Stacy Courville, Salish and Kootenai tribal wildlife biologist, "It's so hard to tell and the video is so short, at least the one I have seen. We've look at it multiple times and we can't tell."

Wildlife officials say it's good somebody has seen him because he set up a den near a ditch and that can be dangerous so they're trying to trap and relocate him.
