Acrobatic bear makes off with a bird feeder and we're not even mad

Cat burglars? Out. Bear burglars? In.

One sneaky bear proved the lengths to which its kind would go to get some sweet sweet noms. A Colorado couple affixed a bird feeder to their backyard shed, in a kind move for birds. They knew that bears were prevalent in their area, so they also attached a bell to the feeder in the hopes that the noise would dissuade any non-bird creatures looking to feed.

The bell was not enough. The couple (seemingly from safely within their home) captured one bear's feats on film, in which it performs some seriously impressive acrobatics to get its big ol' paws on that bird food.

This is a case of "I'm not even mad, I'm just impressed" if we've ever seen one.
