Amusing.

"Early last Sunday, hours before the first waffle cone of the day was topped with a scoop at an ice cream parlour near the south shore of Lake Tahoe in California, a security guard heard a noise.

"At first, he thought it was coming from a rubbish bin behind the parlour at Camp Richardson, a 52-hectare resort in South Lake Tahoe. But when he aimed his torch in the container, it was empty.

"Then, as he circled the building in search of the source of the noise, he lifted the beam towards the front window and saw a large black bear staring back at him. The bear was standing behind the counter next to the cash register, as if he were an employee waiting to serve a customer."

There's a massive 400-450 pound black #bear hanging out around my parents house at #ForkedMeadow near #DinkeyCreek #California. So far it's not bothering anyone.

Turns out there's a population a half dozen miles from them that are the largest bears in the entire state. The local wildlife biologists suspect this population interbred with the last grizzly bears in the state that were in this same place.

These black bears have humped backs like grizzlies do.

“With some encouragement, the bear ultimately left, but only after showing interest in the strawberry ice cream,”

“Thankfully, Fuzzy the bear caused barely any property damage and there was barely any cleanup.”

Backyard black bear. We had a few cherries left on our tree and it was sitting underneath the tree having a snack.
