Smarter than your average bear (VIDEO)

WASHINGTON – Animals seem to be getting smarter, and the mother of this baby bear is no exception.

The cub found itself trapped in a Lake Tahoe, Calif., garage, but luckily its cries for help were heard, and it was all caught on video.

Some commenters were skeptical as to whether the adult bear really opened the garage door. But don’t worry, the baby bear has its own trick up its sleeve.
