A grizzly bear has been caught on video when it broke into a cabin in California and snacked on a bottle of jelly.
The “burglar bear” was recorded through a security camera and the video was later shared by the cabin owner, Scott Cloutier.
The bear can be seen calmly wandering the kitchen of the South Lake Tahoe cabin owned by Cloutier, clearly in search of something to eat.
As the bear continues its antics in the video, a cabinet with its door swung open can be seen in the background.
Possibly, the bear opened the cabinet in search of food and left the door open.
Intermittently in the video, the bear comes up for a peak and goes back down again to continue eating its meal, making its thievery much more appealing.
Interestingly, it is unclear how the sneaky bear entered the cabin as the security camera was installed in the kitchen where it caught the bear raiding the fridge.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife says bears have begun to stock up on food for their hibernation period, which usually begins in October.
Yellowstone Bear World reports different species of bears hibernate for different amounts of time depending on their climate. Black bears can hibernate for up to seven and a half months without consuming water and food or defecating.
As for grizzly bears, they usually hibernate between five to seven months a year and Mexican Black Bears do not hibernate at all, even if they do hibernate, it only lasts for a few weeks of the year due to their warmer habitat, the process is not necessary for them.
Alaskan brown bears can hibernate for a period of five to eight months due to their colder climate.
