Colorado bears

Colorado Parks and Wildlife are reminding citizens this is the time of year to be bear aware.

Attacks, close encounters, home break-ins, and more have forced CP&W to put the animals down.

It's not uncommon to see a bear rummaging through a dumpster, but seeing a bear make off with the entire dumpster isn't something you see every day.

This bear is a whole Monday mood.

Bears are emerging from hibernation throughout Colorado.
