Cinnamon Black Bear Released From Big Sky Car

Occurred on November 1, 2025 / Big Sky, Montana, USA

Info from Licensor: "It was 7:30am and I was going to get my sun glasses out of my car and go for a run. When I opened my car door and went to get in, I noticed that my insta pot was on my driver seat. In a split second, as my brain was processing why it was on my seat and I was getting in, the bear lunged at me from the back of my car. Thankfully I had the seat and head rest between me and the bear to keep me from being attacked, it did mange to get its paw on my shoulder and ripped my shirt but I was not injured. As you could imagine, I jumped back, shut my car door, almost had a heart attack (haha) and ran inside my house. My Roomate, who happens to be a cowboy and bullfighter is the man opening the door."
