What a surprise to use the dumpster and out pops a bear.

Or, what a surprise to the bear finding a human wanted to use his dumpster LOL

Guy got moving pretty quickly for an academic type.

Point of order....

How did a bear get in a locked dumpster??

Reminds me of the time I was walking some garbage too the dumpster in Anza Borreggo park near San Diego.
Trah Lah Lah , not a care in the world on a wonderful morning in the glorious low desert .

I raised the bag of garbage to drop It in and my eye catches movement 35 feet away on the asphalt,left to right.

Startled me a bit,
Like when you notice a big ole bull snake under your foot,
But when you focus directly on it,

It's a piece of garden hose.

Anyway, I get focused on a three foot long lizard , just a foot tall or so,
the exact same color as the surrounding sand.

Almost blond but not quite.


It must have seen me as it took four very quick steps in my direction.

"Just in case"
I picked up three
billard ball sized stones as I backed away.

Now thirty feet from the dumpster it took five very quick steps twords me again.


I backed away faster now,
and thought a stone tossed in direction would deter it.

WRONG!
on the first bounce if the stone it raced twelve steps ahead to intercept it.



Now I'am back peddling briskly, with purpose.

In a blink of an eye it raced off.

There was some adrenaline going that fateful morning.

Whelp... he's awake now!!

What I was thinking. I'd be reviewing the previous video.

Maybe they locked him in the night before

I'm still trying to figure out the news woman's dress. Leather? Some sort of rubber dominatrix costume? Odd.

Everyone knows that Booboo is an asshole!

A idea of a dumpster-diving West Virginia bear is amusing allegory in its own right.

To be sure, in my home state there are Wyoming dumpster-diving bears, but dumpster-diving West Virginia bear is funnier.

When I was a kid my family owned a condo in an association just outside of North Conway, NH. Part of the association was a tiny country club that had communal dumpsters as opposed to normal trash pickup. One day a bunch of people were hanging out by the pool and watched a small black bear crawl into one of the dumpsters. A few minutes later an old woman pulled up to offload her trash. Everyone was screaming and waving at her and she just looked at them like they were nuts, opened the dumpster, dumped her trash bag on top of the bear and walked off. I almost wish it had jumped up and spooked her like this video.

That bear wanted to get away almost as much as the guy.

I've come across black bears a few times hiking. Every single time they took off just like that.

I want to know how that bear:

1. Picked the lock
2. Removed the locking bar
3. Entered the dumpster
4. Closed the lid
5. Replaced the locking bar
6. Secured the lock.

Still trying to figure that all out since the principle was seen unlocking it and removing the bar.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Bear got into the dumpster the day before and was already in there when it got locked up for the night.

Probably a good place to sleep. Dogs can't get to you and food only a reach away.

What do you do when they come for the dumpster?

They both probably crapped themselves. LOL

Funny, for some weird reason the game of Whack-A-Mole came to mind. Perhaps a reverse version, whack the human.
LOL.

In other animal news,
Poultry showing competition is returning to the Illinois state fair this year.

So start preening your clucking birds.

My son in law worked at the Aquarium in downtown Gatlinburg for a couple years.

He said you learn pretty quick to make a lot of noise, holler or whatever, whenever you went out the back to the dumpster to give the bears time to run off. OF course you'd kind of expect bears to be around there.
