I think the bear did it just because he/she didn't like the butt-ugly paint job. Looks like the guy painted the aircraft using cans of spraypaint.

Or maybe bears prefer Cessna's over Piper's. Here's a friendly bear lending a hand to help prop a Cessna.

Amazing pictures. That must have been one hungry bear to go to so much trouble to try and find the fish he could smell!
I remember that in Africa, when you park in the bush, you have to cover your wheels with thorn bushes to prevent lions and hyenas from chewing the tyres. I tried to find a suitable image but instead I found this one of lions using an aeroplane sensibly and responsibly! They do look well fed, though, and there seems to be no evidence of the passengers ...

He may well have been until he realized he stumbled upon a kodiak moment.
