A grizzly bear exhibit at the Minnesota Zoo is temporarily closed. One of the bears picked up a basketball-sized rock and shattered a barrier.

Startled visitors stood on the other side as the bear repeatedly slammed the rock into the pane of glass yesterday morning.

The bear was not able to escape.

Zoo employees are working on a temporary fix until a permanent pane can be installed.
