QUIRKY WORLD ... Yogi never went this far

A photo showed the trapped bear looking frantic in the car in Castle Pines. Wildlife officers eventually freed it.
Bears are common in the area, drawn to berries that are plentiful after a wet year. They need to eat 20,000 calories a day — the equivalent of 38 Big Macs — as they prepare for hibernation. State Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill said human food left outside offers a much easier way to get them.
