A 650-pound Alaskan brown bear named Kobuk, known around the Yellowstone Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone as Kobuk the Destroyer, spent almost an hour last week attempting to crack into a new trash can “holster” design. The can’s exoskeleton, fabricated by a welding class at the Anaconda Job Corps, passed the Kobuk test.

WEST YELLOWSTONE - A few months ago, welding students at the Anaconda Job Corps Center had the ultimate excuse for blowing a test: A bear ate their homework.
Last week, however, they passed. Their homework beat the bears.
And not just any bears. We're talking Kobuk the Destroyer, the most devious and persistent can-cracker at the West Yellowstone Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. And his buddy Sam, the 1,000-pound Alaskan brown bear whose CPR compression technique has caused heart failure in bear-resistant container makers.
