• Bear trying out the new bear-resistant trash can
  • Bear looking for food after unable to get into bear-resistant trash can

A Carson City resident reported a sneaky bear was attempting to break into their bear-resistant trash can, checking for late night scraps, in King’s Canyon around 9:30 p.m. Thursday night.

After our furry friend was unable to find any trash-snacks, he left the scene of the almost crime. But, as they say, one man’s trash is another bear’s dinner.

This is a great reminder to always keep your garbage stored properly, and never feed our local bears!
