Did you know that bears have figured out how to open car doors? A Colorado resident in Gold Hill found the bear in his car early in the morning. A man from Colorado recently used a long rope tied to the car's door handle, the man safely opened the door from a distance. As soon as the door was open, he ran one way as the bear leaped out of the car and ran in the opposite direction. Bears have opened car doors in Yellowstone National Park.
