Hot Tub Surprise: Bear Escapes California Heatwave

A bear was spotted cooling off in a homeowner’s hot tub in Burbank on Friday, July 28, as southern California was gripped by a heatwave.

Footage released by police shows the animal taking it easy in the water at the home in the foothills of the Verdugo mountains.

“This bear is beating the heat in Burbank,” police wrote on Facebook. “Officers are on scene after the bear was spotted in a hillside neighborhood before taking a dip to cool off.”

According to KTLA, the bear scaled a wall and climbed a tree shortly after police arrived.

“I was upstairs and I heard a lot of commotion and some beeping sounds, and there he was just having fun in the jacuzzi – very happy” homeowner Diana Lewis said, as reported by the outlet.

Poor baby just wanted to cool off and they couldn't wait to kick him out. Don't move to the foothills you morons if you don't like wildlife.

Not necessarily smarter than the average bear...Went into the hot tub to escape the heat and not the pool along side.

Maybe it can't swim?
