Yes they are, my camp last year. He was going after 20 pounds of corn in that blue barrel and he got it after he destroyed the barrel. This was about 5 videos I put together because the trail cam will only record 10 seconds at night and 30 during the day.

I think they are more closely related to hogs, even though they have different type feet. Pandas are closely related to racoons though, and aren't really bears. Regardless, bears can still mess some stuff up and can be a bit dangerous if you get too close.

The good thing about bears though, compared to hogs at least, the adults tend to be more solitary types of animals most of the time. A herd of bears could destroy a whole neighborhood if they wanted to.
One passed through our neighborhood about a year ago and he didn't leave a single garbage can standing. Just went down the street turning them over. I didn't see it, but several people caught him on video. By the end of the day, they caught him about 20 miles away.
