Not Exactly a Picnic Basket

A slew of bear stories today. It’s the the season where they start consuming lots of food desperately so they can make it through the winter. And of course humans love to leave convenient calories just lying around rotting in garbage cans, unlocked kitchens, dog-houses, whatever. Apparently, bears are getting a lot smarter this year - they can
open car doors, open “bear proof” food canisters, and they can even use ladders. As if velociraptors weren’t bad enough.
