A video from a CCTV camera of a bear dragging a trash can has gone viral on the internet. You can read that once more. Though videos of bears going through trash cans are really common in Florida, this one is special.
The clip that we are talking about was shared by former basketball player, Rex Chapman with the caption, “Oh nothing, just a bear putting out the garbage on trash night (sic).”

The clip from Florida shows a bear wheeling a trash can out of the driveway of a home and dragging to a corner. Once it reaches the corner, the bear very cleverly without making much noise puts the trash can down, opens it and looks for food.
If you look carefully, you will see another bear in the frame, running around the house.
The 17-second-video got a lot of love from Twitterati and was viewed over 660k times. It also had more than 15.7k likes along with 2.5k retweets and comments. A lot of the comments were hilarious jokes on the video. Some people also shared their experiences with bears.
Have a look at some of them:
@The_Raheel Is it possible to have a pet bear that can put out the garbage and possibly wash dishes? Maybe even vacuum. If that bear can make it look easy so can we! LOL, that's good motivation. I'm about to throw the trash, wash dishes and vacuum before the Rockets game starts.

If course, this is why you don’t trust a bear when he says, “don’t worry, I’ll put the trash out...my treat!“

That’s not even fair. My bear sucks. It just eats my trash and makes a mess (I no longer have a trash can because of this) pic.twitter.com/K4XDTsj00G

That bear is probably much more reliable than my teenage son. Although to his credit, he's never stopped and ate the garbage.

I like how the one bear is like "run", and he looks at him like he's nuts and goes garbage diving. Hope that is not the recycling he will be disappointed.

Why is it that a bear can take out the garbage, but I have to tell my son to take it out multiple times with in an hour before he takes it out.

That bear is very smart. He rolled the bucket over to the down angle of the driveway, and then pulled the can over too spill out the content he just didn’t pull it far enough to upset the contents.

A lot of animals out all over the world due to the people being about less..

Either looking for food that is left, or just curious about where the humans have gone. Critters are coming out for a lookie..
Mountain goats in Wales.
Birds in NZ..
Monkeys in Siam.
Bears in the US.
Well, there goes my plan to approach one.
