I didn't actually witness this event
Another teacher took these pictures. The boy is Juanito, a sixth grader. (His sister, Elena, is in my class.) The dad has many jobs, including taxidermist. And, yes, it's a bear.
Both surprising and somewhat disturbing. It reminds me of one of my favorite chapters in Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis when the characters, who have been eating only apples for days, eat a bear. The description of the roasting meat from the viewpoint of the near starving children is very tempting, to say the least.
