Bear gets inside home and 'hangs out'

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:30:25 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Bears are smart animals. One in Steamboat Springs was clever enough to get itself inside a home but couldn't figure out how to get out. As you can see in the video sent by H. Hannah above, the bear is hanging out an upstairs window of a home it got into through a window downstairs. Luckily, the residents weren't home so neighbors called police, according to Steamboat Radio's Shannon Lukens. After the bear was in the home, it tried to get out of an upper-level window numerous times but wouldn’t make the jump, Lukens told FOX31. It eventually pulled itself back inside and made its way back downstairs. The bear went back to the original window that it broke into, and managed to get out and head back into the neighborhood.
