Trending News: Bears are one of the most fascinating creatures in the United States. With their furry bodies, adorable faces, and voracious appetites, they are a source of both fear and admiration. And one principal in West Virginia got a little too close for comfort with a dumpster-diving bear. It all started when Principal James Marsh of Zela Elementary School in West Virginia tried to remove a latch from a dumpster outside the school.
Little did he know, a curious bear was already inside, enjoying the school's discarded scraps. When the principal removed the lock, the bear scrambled out of the bin, and chaos ensued. The CCTV footage of the incident has gone viral on social media, and it's not hard to see why. In the video, Marsh can be seen sprinting away from the dumpster as the bear makes a quick escape in the opposite direction. The caption of the video reads, "Who says principals don't deserve hazard pay?" And it's safe to say that Marsh earned his stripes that day.
