A bear is found in a family’s car, after arriving in Gatlinburg from Alabama just minutes earlier.

Raven Sartain said she believes the bear smelled the milkshake in the back seat of her car and climbed through the window to get it.

Sartain said multiple bears kept coming back after the first encounter and some even came to their front door while they watched safely inside.

This incident happened on the same day a bear broke into a cabin and injured a man. Go to nps.gov to find out what to do if you come close to a bear.
