Amazing Video: Bear Steals Lasagna From Home

Bears are becoming more and more brazen.  Last week we talked about one in Canada that rolled into a convenience store and pilfered nothing more than a bag of gummy bears.  Perhaps somewhat self-nihilistic, but funny none the less.   Now comes this almost unbelievable video of a bear in Connecticut.

If I used the word brazen to describe the Canadian gummy bear consuming bruin, I must employ the word genius to describe this one in the Constitution State.  First, let me say once again how blown away I am by the quality of Ring cameras.  Crazy good.  And I'm here for it.  Helena Houlis posted her Ring of a recent intruder to her home.  What scares me about both these bears is how deliberate and purposeful they appear to be.

Bear one, wanted nothing but gummy bears.  He did not trash the convenience store.  Haribo stolen and then consumed.  THIS Connecticut bear?  Check out how he saunters room to room.  He's not trashing ANYTHING.  He's not even poking his nose in anything.  It's as if he's not just looking for something, but he seems to have a good idea where it is.  And he does.  "Pooh" just strolls over to the fridge like you or me would do.  Opens it up, again just like you or me.  Then, does he linger?  No.  He grabs the frozen lasagna and then looks for his exit.  I mean, it's as if smelled last night's supper, saw someone put in in the freezer and then said, "You know, I'm coming to get that."

And as far as his exit?  It takes this bear about a second to figure out, "Hey, I can just step on the freezer door and climb my ample backside through the window.  INCREDIBLE!  This Connecticut bear's intelligence is on par with my college senior, son's.  See, he doesn't close the freezer door when he's done either.

Are you looking to have some fun with animals? Well, I have been contemplating fun things to do and for some reason, a petting zoo has been on my mind. It's probably because I recently went to Disney World and Animal Kingdom was my absolute favorite place. From The Lion King being my favorite movie to the Safari Tour at Animal Kingdom, I have been thinking about animals like crazy. But, there is no Animal Kingdom here in Charlotte for me to enjoy, right? So, I have to think of somewhere else.

Of course, I decided to take matters into my own hands. That means I am looking into petting zoos, zoos, and all types of animal parks in the state. Why not have some animal-friendly fun? Let's enjoy some time with the animals and see what you can do here in North Carolina. Can't wait!

Lazy 5 Ranch is a drive through ranch experience. Whether you are sitting in your car or riding on the back of a wagon, you can ride through the ranch to check out some great animals. Not only will you sight see, but you can also feed them along the way. The ranch is open 7 days a week and has tons of animals like cattle, deer, goats, antelope, and other exotic animals. Doesn't that sound fun?

Of course, we're naming a pretty big one - the obvious, the North Carolina Zoo. The state zoo is located in Asheboro, NC and your chance to see tons of different animals. Explore different animals and plants throughout the zoo during your time there. You can see up close and personal, lions, elephants, river otter, giraffes, zebras, and more! Sounds like a place I need to go for sure.

Want to visit a tiger rescue? Personally, I have never thought of it but it looks pretty cool to me! So, head to the Carolina Tiger Rescue and check out some wild cats. The rescue is your chance to learn more about and see tigers that have found sanctuary at this rescue spot.

Are you a fan of birds? Well, this might be the perfect spot for you. The Carolina Raptor Center is for the  exploration and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Visit and walk a trail to explore the different species that are in house. There are more than 30 birds of prey for you to see up close and personal. Cool, right?
