A partnership between Anchorage Solid Waste Services and the Alaska Zoo, this is a video of a group of Kodiak bears testing the bear-resistance of a new trash can.

This is Pokearth, a series of nature documentaries created by animator EnlargedKai (and narrated by Paul Warren) about Pokemon (Doduo, Wailord, Clodsire, Magikarp, and Spheal) in the style of David Attenborough’s ‘Planet Earth’ on BBC.
