Bear Squeezes Through Car Window to Steal a Snack

Occurred on July 13, 2020 / Tahoe City, California, USAInfo from Licensor: "I was driving from Squaw Valley to Tahoe City to pick up coffee at Tahoe House.

I am a wildlife protection attorney (with expertise in bears and tigers), so when I saw a black bear emerge from a wooded area into an almost-empty parking lot and head towards an older Subaru Outback, I suspected she or he was on a mission.

Bears are as smart and complex as chimpanzees.

I pulled over and started filming as the bear grew increasingly interested in goodies inside the car.

Astonishingly the car had the rear windows open and I was in disbelief when I captured the bear squish her big fuzzy butt all the way into the car."
