Bear Family Sift through Hotel Trash Bins

Occurred on April 23, 2021 / South Lake Tahoe, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express in South Lake Tahoe California. I was checking out and took my suitcase to the car, which was close by. I had my hotel room door open and went back to grab my other bag and camera. When I turned around, I came face to face with a bear halfway in my doorway about 5 feet away. I was startled and lunged towards the door to close it. Thankfully, the bear seemed to realize it scared me and moved on. I already had my camera in hand, so I started to record. Apparently these bears are regulars. You know where to stay if you ever want to see bears."
