Black Bear Removed From Under House in Los Angeles

For more than a month, a large black bear had taken up residence in the basement of Los Angeles resident Ken Johnson’s home. He began burrowing into the house around Thanksgiving, damaging structures by upsetting gas pipes and knocking down bricks as he made his way in and out.

Security cameras showed the bear easily tearing through barriers and squeezing through small openings. When Johnson called for help from state wildlife officials, they tried air horns and paintballs, but those tactics were unsuccessful. Finally, he turned to the Bear League, a non-profit organization known for its efforts to live peacefully with bears.

As soon as the Bear League team arrived, they deployed a “noisy welcome mat” that is, a device that delivers a mild electric shock to the entrance. Within 20 minutes, the bear was gone. Video showed him trying to re-enter, but when he stepped on the floor, he quickly ran away and never came back.

That Black Bear was looking for food or prey. Thankfully a bear expert arrived. There are no bears in my country. It's a deadly thing. I'm thankful there's no bear in the Philippines.

The bear had actually turned their basement to it's home that's why he comes in and goes out when he wants to.
