This bear wasn't caught with his paws in the honey jar but close to it. He was trapped in a skateboarding park in Colorado. After spending the night in the skateboard park, the ensnared bear climbed to safety on a ladder which was lowered into the skating bowl by the Snowmass Colorado Parks and Recreation Department. Check out our slideshow of the event.

The amazing thing about this is that they put the ladder in so the bear could leave rather than shooting it.
Thank you Snowmass!

Proves bears are smarter than Republicans. Will use assistance to get themselves out of a pit instead of trying to dig themselves deeper.

This was clearly a communist bear. Why did the government have to lower the ladder? Where was private enterprize?

I can't imagine being the guy who has to carry the ladder, drop it into the skate-park, steady it to make sure it's sturdy enough for the bear---ACK! Surely the bear was not in a feeding state of mind right then, but you never know! Autumn is their peak eating season.

I'm just saying it takes balls I don't have to spend the minute or so it would take to place that ladder. ACK!
In the words of Monty Python---"Run away!!!!"

Any animal living in the wild, should know that if you climb on something, you should go up. It's like a hill. What is so amazing about this?

Put an inclined plain in a box with a rat, betcha he will climb out. Put a stick in an aquarium with a snake, betcha the snake will crawl out.

... Put a job in front of a lazy human being, who is broke and living off of mom, or the gov't, ... betcha, they won't climb out. See? We are so much more advanced than the typical animal. We know when it's better to stay trapped within ourselves.
