Two clever bears were filmed opening a security shutter and breaking into a restaurant.
The venue owner, who was out of town at the time, only found out after watching the video on social media.
CCTV images showed one bear standing on its hind legs while banging at the rolling shutter.

In the next scene, the clever animal manages to partially lift the shutter, before disappearing inside.
The bear is closely followed by a hungry companion.
The unlikely break-in took place in Nagqu City in Tibet, China.
The restaurant owner, surnamed Li, was visiting relatives in Gansu region for the Chinese New Year, which started yesterday (17 Feb) and ends on 3 March with the Lantern Festival.
He realised the establishment had been ransacked by the bears after seeing the clip online, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Mr. Li told local media: “There are security cameras inside the restaurant, but they have been out of service for the past couple of days.
“I only saw it while browsing short clips online.”
He added: “I sell homemade dishes, and there were some meat and eggs stored in the restaurant that are now probably damaged.”

Mr. Li pointed out that no one was inside the building at the time.
He said he plans to return to Nagqu as soon as possible to inspect the damage.
He added that his establishment is located near the Sapu Sacred Mountain Scenic Area, where bear sightings are common.
The two animals in the video probably ventured down from the mountain in search of food as all the shops on the street were closed for the holiday.
Mr. Li said the damage costs have already been paid for by the local authorities.
“No one was in the restaurant, there’s no problem, the township government will handle it, it’s all taken care of,” he said.
