Old Bear Moves Into Crawl Space Under House in California

The housing market is tough, even the wildlife is struggling to find a place to live. It could be why this bear seems to have moved into the crawl space under a home in Sierra Madre, California. Cameras set up by the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife catch his comings and goings. The homeowners named him Junior and they tell KCBS he leaves every night around 10 p.m. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

Aw! I feel bad for the bear. I hope he lives in a comfortable and safe environment.

Wildlife Preserve needs to find him a safe place to hibernate

[NevadaLamb]

They’re not afraid of him, but they don’t want him there 😭

It's crazy how that beard just lays there and looks at them, whoever's recording.He just wants somewhere to sleep. When he comes in at night

I hope this bear finds his forever Home in the wild .

He is old... and wants a quiet, warm, and dry place to call home. He isn't aggressive or troublesome to the homeowner, so let him be there. He is probably nearing the end of his life and wants to go in peace.

Even though they want him gone, it's nice to see that the old couple(?) aren't really afraid of the big guy and just understand that things can happen if they stay too close together.

I would rather have the bear as my neighbor than the ones I have now.

I can only hear the audio “OOOooohhhhHHH THIS IS NOOOOIIIICCCEEEE” when he found it 😂

This old bear deserves better squatter rights than humans…

[areasevenpro]

The homeowner just has to grin and bear it. 🐻
