You put a rain barrel out in your yard to collect the rain.
So, after it rains, you should be able to go to the bucket and collect the water – right? Well, that didn’t exactly happen for one family in Colorado.
Day after day, the water in their rain bucket was missing.

It would be filled to the brim in the morning, but later it was completely empty. No, there wasn’t a hole in the bucket either.
The family was curious and determined to find out what was happening to the water.
To solve the mystery, they set up a surveillance camera – nothing was going to happen without it being captured on video!

Just a few days later, they got their answer!
The camera captured a big bear approaching their yard, and sure enough, the bear headed right for the rain barrel!

What a smart bear! I wonder how he found the water…. did he smell it?

Or did he just notice it when he was roaming around?
Not only did the bear enjoy a quick drink, but he also took a dip!

That would explain why the barrel was empty every day!

The bear was simply thirsty and needed to relax in the water! Isn’t he a lucky bear?!
How many bears have their own private rain barrel for drinking and bathing in?

Wonder what the family will do now?
I hope they leave that rain barrel for the bear and get another one for themselves!
