The video shows the Uber Eats driver dropping off the food and then walking away. Moments later, the bear approaches the porch and snatches the bag of Taco Bell. The family's niece, who shared the video on social media, said the family was left hungry after the bear's unexpected meal.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) says that bears are attracted to food smells, and that people should take steps to secure their food and trash to prevent animals from getting to it. The FWC also says that people should not approach or try to feed bears.
Here are some tips from the FWC on how to keep bears away from your food and trash:
- Keep your garbage cans in a secure enclosure.
- Store food inside your home or in a bear-proof container.
- Do not put food scraps or pet food out for wildlife.
- Clean up spills or food scraps immediately.
- Be aware of your surroundings and avoid attracting bears with food smells.
