In a hilarious yet fascinating encounter from Alaska, a black bear was caught on camera trying and failing to break into a bear-proof trash can, eventually resorting to bashing it repeatedly in frustration. The amusing incident, which took place in a residential neighborhood during heavy rain, has gone viral, leaving netizens both amused and impressed by the animal’s persistence.
The video shows the bear dragging the trash bin to the middle of the street, flipping it over, and slamming its paws on it as if giving the trash can “CPR.” Despite multiple attempts, the can remained sealed shut, proving the effectiveness of Alaska’s bear-resistant garbage systems designed to prevent such encounters.

Residents who witnessed the event said the bear likely wandered into the neighborhood in search of food, as sightings become more common in the fall when bears prepare for hibernation.

While the bear went home hungry, the moment served as a humorous moment. Another user wrote, "This is a great Ad commercial for the Trash can company! Bear proof trash can."
