Summary
July 21 security footage from a Colorado Springs home showed a bear walking through an open back door and helping itself to food in the kitchen before the family fully realized it was inside.
The animal apparently entered while the door was left open for a breeze during hot weather, then ate Flintstones vitamins from a table and dragged a trash can outside to rummage through it.
Nerissa England said her 8-year-old daughter and husband discovered the bear near the kitchen door after hearing a bang; they scared it away by opening the door and making noise.
Across the United States, bears have been entering homes in record numbers after a dry winter reduced berries, nuts and other foods that make up about 90% of their diet.
