One very hungry bear in California hitched a ride in a dumpster truck.The bear, named Cinnamon by locals, was rummaging through a garbage bin when he was accidentally loaded onto a garbage truck."About halfway down the mountains, my truck is going from side to side and, you know, I'm thinking it's the road," said the driver. "Not knowing, I have a bear inside of my compactor. When I dumped the container I seen all of the employees running. Okay? Still not knowing, I pulled forward about ten feet and stopped, I seen Cinnamon running across the parking lot."Cinnamon was tranquilized and taken back to the forest."They should be hibernating this year," said biologist Dan Fidler. "Food is hard to come by; so they do have a tendency to roam a little more this year."
