Who knew bears liked dumpsters so much. 

Only last week, the Placer County Sheriff's department posted a video to Facebook of a family of bears in need.

That video shows a bear cub that appears to be stuck in a dumpster. To the sad wails of her cub, the mother bear and sibling are stuck outside trying to figure out how to rescue their family member. 

Thursday, the same Tahoe sheriff's department was called in to rescue another bear from his dumpster trap. The Sheriff Nevins dubbed the bear "Bubs."
