Stay in your car, they tell you. You'll be safe there, they say. Until that bear walks up and masterfully opens that unlocked car door, giving you nowhere safe to run.

Did they learn it from watching humans? Was is learned by accident? Did one bear figure it out and pass the information on to the other bears?

Who knows.

What we do know is that we are no longer safe unless the car door is locked. If you thought that leaving food in your car was safe from bears, well, it was, and it still can be, if you lock your car. If they learn how to pick locks we are screwed.

Here are 5 videos of bears opening car doors. It's kinda scary.
