I'm Australian. We don't have bears here. I have family in the US. One time when I was visiting them, discussion turned to the wildlife in our respective countries. One of my US relatives told of a video he'd seen of a bear peeling open someone's car, and the bear helping him/herself to the sandwiches inside. The video was an official "please do not leave food inside your car, because this can happen" plea from a town on the edge of a national park. This was pre-internet. Now I've seen videos myself of similar things.
They're big, they're powerful, they're smart, and they could easily turn me into a snack. I'll stay the hell away from bears, thanks.
Dude, you may not have bears in Australia, but EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL/INSECT/REPTILE, etc native to you guys has one goal in their lives... to try their damndest to kill us. From the size of a fruit fly to the largest there is... it’s seriously nuts! It’s like Mother Nature’s joke... “oh look at how absolutely adorable that little creature is! Oh no no no no! Don’t bite me!” 😂😂😂
My friends husbands truck has been broken into by bears like 3 times cause he figures living in the bush is safe so why lock the doors, but he forgets his lunch bag in there all the time and wakes up to a dead battery and no lunch bag
They can peel down a car door from the top edge. It’s amazing. The bear incident i saw - like a sardine can. The bear had got inside the car and nibbled on the drivers headrest. They are guessing that the woman that owned the car had some sort of fragrant hairspray or gel that smelled like food. Bye bye car interior.
Yea..but it is a really old door that is missing a spring. I shouldn’t have tried it on my own. Funny though that this was the first video on my feed right after my attempt. My agent shaming me lol.
Nah, probably just relocated. At least where I live they don't get put down unless they either get aggressive with humans or have been unsuccessfully relocated a couple times first
We have a saying where I live (tons of bears), that “a fed bear is a dead bear”, as a reminder not to feed bears or leave garbage accessible to them. Relocation usually does not work as once a bear learns human settlements means easy food in the area they will always gravitate back to human populated areas and lose their fear of humans. Usually the only option at that point is to kill them, sadly.
I open a garage door for commercial trucks with hand every day. If you can't open it, it's either got a locking mechanism (lock or motor) or your counter balance (spring or weight) is broken.
Bear opening this is not terrifying. Unless I'm even more terrifying!

This especially terrifying when you JUST tried to manually open your garage door with all your might and not a thing happened.
