Bear caught rummaging through trash, bird feeders and a beehive nearly a dozen times

Move over, Hank the Tank – there’s a new infamous bear in the woods.

A bear who broke into 11 homes in search of food was relocated and released July 30 into the Colorado wilderness, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said in a tweet.

The bear, a 2.5-year-old female, was seen in a video bounding out of a bear trap and into the trees. Officials said the bear had gotten into a beehive earlier in the day, and that the agency had also received reports of the bear breaking into bird feeders, trash cans, and “other food sources” – in just this month alone.

The bear was found in Niwot, Colorado, officials said. She had caused some trouble for the residents of the town during her quests for food, KDVR reported.

Like the various bears mistaken for Hank the Tank, a bear who gained national attention for rummaging through homes in South Lake Tahoe looking for food, the bear CPW officials released is a black bear, the station reported.

Black bears primarily eat fruits, grasses, berries, nuts and plants, CPW said on its website. The bears tend to be wary of humans and don’t eat much meat, with the exception of scavenged carcasses or insects, the website said.

However, the bears are known for being smart, curious and having strong memories – once they’ve located food somewhere, they know to come back and look for more, the website said.

People who live in “bear country” can follow various tips to successfully coexist with the animals and reduce conflict, the agency said. Some of those tips include:

• Using bear-proof containers for trash and avoiding leaving food outside – bears can smell food from 5 miles away

• Do not run or climb a tree to try and escape a bear

• If you see a bear cub, leave immediately – their mother is usually close by and could become aggressive

• If you see a bear, stand still, stay calm, and let the bear identify you

• Do not feed bears – try to shoo them away instead

• If a bear attacks you, don’t play dead – fight back

Niwot is about 34 miles north of Denver.
