The sixth and final season of "Glee" is underway and for many 'Gleeks' the thought of the beloved show ending is unbearable, but for others getting sneak peeks of the upcoming Season 6 is making it a little more "bearable" -- more specifically with the presence of an actual bear on the set of "Glee."

Fan favorites "Glee" actress Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry and Max Adler, who plays Dave Karofsky (initially known just as "Karofsky"), tweeted out a picture of "Glee" cast members braving in what appears to be an actual black bear!

Why on earth would a bear be on set, you ask? Well, you're not the only one! Other media outlets and inquiring 'Gleeful' minds want to know!

"Did Rachel or Kurt get so eccentric that they decided to get a pet bear? It's doubtful, but maybe it's a part of some zoo storyline or a bizarre dream sequence," CarterMatt pondered.

"At this point, we are mostly just glad that 'Glee' continues to think of things that have not been done before, mostly because that is no easy task when you are six seasons in and countless musical numbers. When you consider some of the imagination that goes into many of these episodes, it feels in some ways like this show has been around even longer."

Reportedly, Adler is going to be around for "multiple episodes as his popular character, and there are already a flurry of rumors around how Karofsky enters the equation this time."

Adler initially played a bully jock who targeted "Glee" member Kurt Hummel (played by Chris Colfer). Ultimately, Adler's character, Karofsky, discovers that he was a "closeted homosexual" and almost commits suicide because of his revelation, but the tragedy is diverted by his father.

The cast for the upcoming Season 6 of "Glee" includes Lea Michele, Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, Naya Rivera, Chord Overstreet and Chris Colfer, among others.

Season 6 of the FOX hit TV show, "Glee" will debut in 2015.
