Bear in Kitchen: Colorado Family’s Close Call | Colorado Springs News

A Colorado Springs family’s day turned wild when an eight-year-old girl stumbled upon a bear chilling in their kitchen—her dad calmly shooed it out. The mom called it deeply violating, while Zara, an aspiring animal photographer, just wanted the bear gone. Now they’re keeping doors open but watching closely. Wildlife officials stress that most bear encounters stem from easy access to food like garbage or pet food—and simple steps like securing trash and bird feeders can prevent dangerous situations. Stay calm, give bears space, and be mindful: safety for humans and wildlife starts with small precautions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
