Bears are pretty smart when it comes to getting into things that smell good. Reminds me of the old park ranger story about how there’s a lot of overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest bears when it comes to “bear proof” trash cans and food storage containers.

I'm dying. I would LOVE to see a mashup of bears vs. humans attempting to get into childproof, bearproof, etc. objects.

The bears in the Adirondacks even learned how to open the Bear Vault brand of bear kegs. They’ve figured out hanging food bags as well. Clever bastards.

If you ever wonder why its kind of a pain in the ass when you go to a National Park to open up the trash can, bears are the reason why.
