A school principal in Summersville, West Virginia, got quite surprised when he came face to face with a bear after opening a dumpster.
Video from security cameras shows the moment when James Marsh opened the dumpster in the parking lot and saw a bear jump out.
The dumpster was fitted with an anti-bear lock given to the school by the State Department of Natural Resources after previous problems with roaming bears, local media reported.
But the lock didn’t deter this bear, as he was caught on camera squeezing in and out of the dumpster over the weekend.
The bear seemed just as surprised by the encounter as the director and quickly took off after the incident on Monday.
