Look, I know this is just supposed to be one of those “awwww… cute!” things, but think about it:
Wild bears just demonstrated intellectual mastery over a garage door and a ladder while completely ignoring man’s most fearsome weapons: the dog and the video camera.
If they develop dinosaur-with-rocket-launcher technology before we do, soon they’ll be chasing us through cornfields on horseback.

Man that guy has a clean garage. I could probably have an entire family of bears living in my garage and it would be months before I noticed.
I think bears mastered ladders before humans. They’ve always been pretty good at climbing.
Can we call moron on the guy who shot this? Black bears are relatively shy. Females with cubs are the notable exception. Bears can outrun humans, swim and as we have seen, climb. Their front claws range to 3″, and they are strong enough to break into locked cars in a matter of minutes just to get an empty potato chip bag. Respect the bear.
Bears are the poor man’s apes.
