Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an Independent candidate for the White House, said he planted a dead black bear in Central Park as a prank a decade ago.

Kennedy says in a video posted on X that he was sharing the story after the New Yorker found he was behind the “amusing” prank, which made national headlines in 2014.

In the video, which has been viewed more than 14 million times, Kennedy sits in a dining room chair while recounting the tale to a tea-sipping Roseanne Barr. Kennedy starts by explaining that he was driving north of New York City to go falconing when a woman in a van in front of him struck and killed a young bear.

“I pulled over and I picked up the bear, and put him in the back of my van because I was going to skin the bear,” he says. “It was very good condition and I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.”

Kennedy says he was falconing with a group late into the day and had to attend a dinner at Peter Luger Steak house that night. That also ran later than expected. He then had a flight to catch and couldn’t get home in time to skin and quarter the bear he was planning to eat.
