Watch as a bear climbs into a family's unlocked minivan while they are on vacation.
The amusing footage, filmed by Lauren Bartoe, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, shows the bear inside the vehicle chewing on a children's rubbish bag filled with wrappers.
The family had been watching a cat across the parking lot when they noticed the van door was mysteriously open and quickly realised they had an unexpected visitor inside.
Bartoе's brother-in-law opens the back door and shouts at the bear to get out, prompting the animal to slowly climb from the vehicle as though it had been caught red-handed.
The family later discovered the door handle was covered in bear saliva and made sure to lock the van after the unusual encounter.
The amusing footage was shared online. One user commented: "How scary and awesome at the same time."
