Jason Aldean and his family had an unexpected run-in with some animals on their way to a Christmas gathering. Unfortunately, we're not talking about festive Reindeer this time around!

It appears a mommy bear and her two cubs managed to get into the family SUV while they stayed in a cabin. Jason's wife, Brittany, is very active on social media and provides updates via Instagram.
Brittany shows off pictures of the SUV with the door open. The best picture is part of the aftermath, where she shows off a can of Green Apple energy drink. All we can say is that the bear is in for one heck of a night!
Brittany later revealed more about the bears in another Instagram story. "They have ransacked three big cars: a truck and two Tahoes. They aren't scared, and they know how to open doors." "I've never seen anything like it; this is wild!"
She also reveals that some food left in the vehicle is likely the culprit behind their unwanted guests.
Jason And His Family Did The Right Thing
While a run-in with bears is undoubtedly one way to make a trip more memorable, it's important to remember that the family did the right thing here. Prevention, like locking the car doors, is always a reasonable precaution, but foresight is 20/20.
It's not always the case, but a bear won't typically break into a car for the sake of it. However, if there's food up for grabs, that can be all the incentive they need.
Your options are pretty limited if a bear gets in your car. The best bet is to let them have their fun and hope they don't close the door on themselves on the way in!
On a more serious note, you have options if you encounter a bear out in the open. In an enclosed space, it's better to be safe, and at least you'll have a wild story to tell afterward. Calling a professional over being a hero is the best solution if the situation worsens. They may look cute and cuddly, but that won't last long if cubs are involved!
