Mother Bear Rips Open Truck Bed Cover, Teaching Cub Food Raid in Parking Lot

A mother bear was filmed tearing open a truck bed cover in a parking lot while her cub watched and climbed up to join the search for food.
The raid suggests the bear had scented food stored in the truck bed, showing that a cover is not enough to keep attractants away from bears.
The viral video also underscored a key safety risk: people should never get between a mother bear and her cub, and should back away if the animals react to their presence.
Wildlife safety guidance says not to approach cubs, not to climb trees around black bears, and to keep bear spray accessible where bears are present.
