WATCH: Construction workers get ‘horrible surprise’ while digging

ANKARA: Laborers digging up a cesspit got an unusual surprise, prompting them to halt the activity for a few moments.

According to local news outlets in Turkey, the team were digging near a chicken production plant and had begun to smash into the cesspit.

But as they began to make holes in the structure, a strange claw could be seen scrabbling at the hole.

As the workers continued to dig and the hole got bigger, it became clear a huge grizzly bear was lurking in the pit.

It is believed the bear got stuck after going there to eat on the carcasses of the dead chickens.

Local Mehmet Yildiz said: “In the morning when a worker took the dead chickens into the pit, at that moment came a roaring sound.”

The digging team were called in to investigate and in the end released the terrifying bear.
