Combine Pushes Family of Bears Out of Cornfield

Some farmers near Hallock, Minnesota, were tending to a field of corn when they got a big surprise. It seems some critters were in there feeding and got a rude awakening when the big machinery began to get close. Enter one mother bear and her three cubs that were just trying to get a mouthful of corn before winter set in. Luckily one farmer's father was able to get some great video of the whole affair as his cousin ran the combine. Enjoy it right to the end, because there's one more creature that was in there with the bears!

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

It seems one lone raccoon thought he was going to eat some free corn, too! It's just as well that he got out while he could or he would've likely become part of a corn shipment.

Farmers flush animals out of their crops regularly, but rarely do farmers encounter bears in most regions of the country. You also wouldn't expect the bears and the raccoon to be sharing a space quite that close to one another, but black bears and raccoons are actually known to pay little attention to one another.

Few people get as close of a look at wildlife as farmers, but fewer have ever seen anything quite like this.
