Turns out he wasn't smarter than the average bear.
A curious bear ended up needing help from police in Colorado on Monday after breaking into a vehicle and getting locked inside.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post they responded to a report of a vehicle trespass and came across the unusual suspect on Conifer Hill Road, located about 60 miles northwest of Denver.
"A bear broke into a car and locked himself in. Car 0. Bear 1," the sheriff's office said.
Deputies were able to open the car door and safely let the bear out without anyone -- including the animal -- being harmed.
