Initial reaction: amusement
Next reaction: I hope it didn’t get burned by a hot grill
Final reaction: grim reflection on the phrase “A fed bear is a dead bear”

I hope this doesn’t somehow prompt wildlife officials to put down the bears :grimacing:

Typical American diet — double cheeseburger followed up with a Diet Coke.

I have also been guilty of showing up at a party, seeing everyone else make excuses to leave, and choosing to finish off all the food as consolation.

So last weekend I traveled from my Southern California home to a National Park in Utah, and when I got home I learned from my neighbor that while I was off enjoying nature a bear had attempted to enter my backyard. (Which is only fair, I guess.) It got frustrated by the metal gate and then walked next door and pushed open the wooden gate to my neighbor’s yard instead, where it proceeded to eat fruit from her trees, as well as dig through her garbage. So far I haven’t heard about local bears getting put down so hopefully it wandered back home and is still ok.

That’s some serious om-nom-nomming going on with that bear.

Cuteness aside, it is worrying that wild animals are increasingly being pushed into urban and suburban environments instead of their natural habitats.

Was that grill hot?

The bear seemed pretty familiar with the working of that lid. Practice? Or lids are lids?

Well, we can all argue in circles about who is on whose patch of land, whether the bear knows how to work a BBQ lid and whether burgers and coke are a healthy bear diet.
But I think we’ve all missed the important question.

Did he choose mustard or ketchup?
