Curious Bear Rips Off Car’s Side View Mirror At Idaho Wildlife Park

If you need a side mirror removed from your car, I know a bear…

That service isn’t really needed all that much, but if you did ever want to have the outer piece of your car removed, there’s a natural way of doing so. You don’ even have to go to a body shop (though you might have to afterwards), and you get to see wildlife while you are taking care of the mirror removal.

This clip is allegedly out of a place known as Yellowstone Bear World which is located in Rigby, Idaho. Tourists can pay to drive their vehicle through the wildlife park that’s chalk full of bears, and the allure is that you can see a ton of wild animals without ever having to get out of your car.

That’s a blessing and a curse.

Only because anything can happen when humans and wild animals inhabit the same area, even if it is just for a short amount of time. The wildlife park encourages people visiting to not come to a full stop, because sometimes the bears that are wandering around on the property can become brave and do something like this.

These visitors made the mistake of coming to a stop, and a big ol’ bear kindly walked right up to their car. It was cool at first… that is until the bruin put all of its weight on their car’s side mirror and ripped it clean off. The people filming from their car were mesmerized at first, but their tune changed when the bruin stole their side mirror and they had no other choice but to keep driving.

Take a look:

Oof… at least you’ve got a cool story to tell the auto repair shop.

No one got hurt (if you exclude the car) in the funny video, so those that saw the clip online felt as though they were in the clear to drop some jokes and bear puns – as well as some straight up, ‘What were you all thinking?” statements – in the comment section below the post:

“I mean y’all sat there and watched him walk up to you and let that happen.”

“Can’t believe he pulled the mirror off with his bear hands.”

“Side mirror is a small price to pay for a very cool encounter.”

“He just wanted to chat about your car’s extended warranty.”
