Apparently, humans aren\u2019t the only ones with this opinion.<\/p>\n<p>In Glenwood Springs, Colo., late last month, a young bear took its enthusiasm for cheese puffs a bit too far, stuffing its whole head into an empty cheese puff bucket. It quickly learned that getting in is far easier than getting out&mdash;the bucket wouldn\u2019t budge.<\/p>\n<p>Residents contacted wildlife officials after seeing the bear ambling around with its bucket hat, but the animal was too quick and ran off before anybody could give him a hand.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Hawkins, a retired firefighter, had the solution. Since the biggest obstacle to helping the bear was its unwillingness to stay put while help was on the way, Hawkins left a pair of gloves and a rope outside for the next time the bear passed through. When it roamed into the yard of Hawkins\u2019 bed and breakfast, he took his rope and lassoed the bear&mdash;yes, really&mdash;to keep it at bay while wildlife officials made their way to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was kind of like rodeo for a while,\u201d Hawkins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/animalia\/wp\/2016\/07\/23\/this-man-rescued-a-bear-from-the-jaws-of-a-cheese-puff-bucket\/\" target=\"_blank\">told<\/a> <cite>The Washington Post<\/cite>. The bear wasn\u2019t thrilled about this scuffle, and it charged at Hawkins, giving him some gnarly gashes on his forearm. The cheese puff bucket, though, acted as a sort of muzzle, so Hawkins was spared more serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>When officials from Colorado Parks and Wildlife arrived on the scene, they made quick work of tranquilizing the bear, removing its cheesy helmet, and moving it to a nearby area with fewer humans to contend with. All\u2019s well that ends well, but perhaps cheese puff crumbs might be better left at the bottom of the bucket.<\/p>\n<p><em><small>Feature Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCxRF1V_KiiKeqfdkTEaEyYA\">Erin Caldwell<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AXk-Hmp_5Ik\">YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes the need for cheese leads to some sticky situations&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":28069,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"coauthors":[875],"class_list":["post-28067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cheese-bites"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.4) -
