The wild moment a man let two bears out of a car was caught on camera.
The shirtless man, clad in shorts and sandals, approaches the blue SUV with tentative step in a residential driveway in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
On his first attempt to open the SUV’s passenger door, he appears to suffer a fright and bolts away.

But he is successful on his second attempt. He quickly runs away from the car after he opens the door.
Shortly after, a bear comes bounding out of the car, along with some yellow garbage.
A second bear follows suit.
A woman filming the spectacle from a second-story window remarks: ‘Oh my god, oh my god, I never see this before in all my life.’
‘They are outside,’ she says in Spanish.
She tells an individual who sounds like a young child in Spanish: ‘Tell him to close the door.’
‘Oh my god, they’re coming,’ she exclaims.
One of the two bears is pictured prowling around the neighborhood. It is not clear how the bears got inside the vehicle in the first place. The video was captioned: ‘These bears just wanted to ride back to Florida with us, I’m sure’
