Neat. I think that it's one of those chickens from the "Asian Longcrower" group.

How do you total a vehicle without scratching the outside?
There are no scratches on the outside of this car, but the vehicle is totaled !
A man in Waterton Park, (south of Calgary ), came out to find the inside of his 18 month old Toyota Sequoia trashed.
A grizzly bear had somehow got a door open.
Once inside it got trapped when the door shut behind him, probably by the wind.
The Toyota was the Platinum edition, all the door panels were ripped off, the head-liner torn to pieces, all headrests, the leather seats, the dash shredded.
The steering column was twisted Sideways. Two of the six airbags went off, the other four the bear ripped to pieces.
You can imagine a trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag in an enclosed space!
He must have figured he was in for the fight of his life, and by the looks of this car, he won the fight.
When the bear ripped off the door panels he also clawed all the wiring harnesses out.
Toyota figures every wire he pulled or clawed at resulted in alarm bells, voices or sparks.
The head mechanic at Calgary Toyota doubted if they had the expertise to put this vehicle back together, even if they had enough parts to do it. And, to add insult to injury, the bear took a big Dump in the back of the SUV . . . and then broke out the rear window. (So a bear doesn?t always sh** in the woods.)
Fish and wildlife officers have inspected the damage and figure it was a 3 year old Grizzly.
The vehicle has been written off by the insurance company.
The cost of this fully optioned vehicle new was over $70,000, and they stopped counting the repair costs at $60,000 plus.
And we worry about colliding with a deer ???

Oh, I wish the pictures had posted. That is something I'd love to see. . . from a distance.

Wow! It's hard to imagine the strength (and anger) that took! I've seen the damage a trapped squirrel can do in a house. Seemed pretty major to me at the time, but----just, Wow. Glad there are no grizzlies around here.

I couldn't see a reason to put a screen on the greenhouse vent until I found a neighbor's cat in there. I didn't hit him with anything harder than my hat but quickly realized I'd better get the door open and get that dang tomcat outside!
Do NOT try cornering a cat with plants on the table and foam insulation board on a north wall!!
