Honey-loving bear has great taste in cars.
The great outdoors can be beautiful but terrifying at the same time. Luckily humans have developed the ability to shield themselves from most of what mother nature can dish out, but apparently not baby bears carjacking an unlocked Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Legendary animal conservationist Steve Irwin has been quoted as saying that baby bears are nature's number one carjackers, closely followed by the common Vervet Monkey and African Baboon.
All we know is that whenever you go out on a wildlife cruise, it is imperative that you lock your doors unless you want to have a very strange conversation with your insurance provider.
In this video posted on TikTok we see a baby bear minding its own business on the side of a driveway entrance before making its way down to a parked Mercedes-Benz E-Class. As the bear nears the car, it starts walking on its hind legs in order to more closely resemble an actual human thief.
With a simple flick of the paw, the bear manages to open the unlocked front passenger door of the car. As the bear opens the door, the person filming can be heard screaming like a car alarm to scare the bear off.
The classic "bear go home" line can also be heard as the animal approaches. The bear finally disappears back into the vegetation as the humans continue to howl as if they were the ones being personally attacked.
Thankfully the bear does not make it inside the car, and all of this after a first attempt failed on a vehicle looking like a high-end SUV. The animal was clearly on the hunt for some premium machinery. The obvious conclusion is that baby bears are into luxury German sedans, and that people should lock their cars when parking in bear territory.
Video at the link
that looks like a person in a bear suit.
I wonder if the Bear/Person/Sasquatch would do that during hunting season...[;<)...
Good observation. I was about to think that too much anthropomorphism was in play...but the standibg posture and leaning posture seems a bit human. Most likely click bait.
“that looks like a person in a bear suit.”
You should stay out of the woods!

See my #6.
Headline is misleading. There was no carjacking. The bear opened the door and ran off when the owner started screaming like a little school girl.
That IS a person in a bear suit!!
The video provided proves it isn't........Sheesh!
A bit, click the link and view the video. Men in bear suits can’t walk on four legs like that.
Look at the video which shows him or her on all fours. Human can’t do that.
“Look at the video which shows him or her on all fours. Human can’t do that.”
I did! That makes two of us!
Looks like he got out. Sometimes they don’t, a skeleton is found one day in the future.
Didn’t watch the video, huh?
