A curious bear cub was caught on camera opening the door of a home before being shooed away by a surprised homeowner.

Footage shows the moment the cub alongside its family approach the Colorado home.

Standing on its hind legs, the cub uses its paws to swing the door open.

Homeowner Kari Bumgarner from Steamboat Springs, about 90 miles north of Aspen, is seen banging on the window.

The cub flees but towards its siblings and mother nearby.

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson said: "Black bears are intelligent, curious, and relentless in their pursuit of food.

“Keep all bear-accessible windows and doors closed and locked, including home, garage and vehicle doors.”

If you see a bear near your home, the agency warns not to approach it, but to “yell, blow a whistle, clap your hands, and make other loud noises” to chase it away.

The footage was captured on May 17.
