The bears are alert, awake, hungry and looking for some grub after a winter of cozying up in their dens and resting. In fact some are so ready to get out and about, they're coming into town and looking for a snack.

According to KKTV News in Colorado Springs, a young bear was seen taking a stroll through the streets of Colorado Springs and eventually decided to get a birds eye view up in a tree.

Just for the record, if you ever see a bear whether it be in the wild or especially taking a walk down a neighborhood, it's best to just leave it alone. (If you've ever heard the saying "don't poke a bear" it's good advice and it's not just about physically poking a bear, which is REALLY a dumb idea. It also means don't mess with or try to get too close to a bear.)
