Kentucky Local Finds Family Of Bears Chilling In His Car

Jun 05, 2019 by apost team

One Kentucky man in Tennessee could only shake his head in disbelief as he watched what appeared to be a family of bears packing their belongings in preparation for a vacation.

Chad Morris is the owner of CMO Barbershop, located in Owensboro, Kentucky. Chad was visiting family in Gatlinburg, Tennessee when he approached his car and saw a black bear sitting behind the wheel, he told WYMT.

Two more bears climbed in the car while Chad was standing there. He also noticed another bear, who he assumed was the mother, standing not too far from the car. Chad told his friends on Facebook he was sure he was being 'punked.' He continued by saying the situation was too ridiculous to be real.

Chad says he would often joke with friends about encountering a bear. He would tell them that he had been lifting weights and would like to experience a tussle with a bear. The barber said he was not prepared when he finally got the chance to see not one, but four bears in or near his car. He laughed while saying he did not like the odds he was facing.

Chad's car is in need of some upholstery repair but under the circumstances, not much damage was done to his car. He says there is a section of the front seat that is no longer there. His cup was lying in the chunk of the seat that is missing and Chad thinks it was the reason that portion of the seat caught the bears' attention.

Chad says he will never forget the lesson he has learned from the encounter: Never leave his car with the windows down. Have you ever given thought to what you would do in a similar situation? The best course of action may be to just relax and let the situation run its course. But that is much easier to say when you are not the person with a family of bears in your car.
