A family from California shared an amazing story that happened in early November last year. Once, going to rest, people went out into the yard and heard strange, loud sounds coming from the basement located under the house.
The stunned owners listened to the sounds and looked around, after which they concluded that a very large animal was hiding there. It’s most likely a bear.
It turned out that one of the local bears was looking for a place to winter, and the family accidentally did not close the door to the basement. The animal decided that in front of him was an excellent lair and settled there. Of course, the owners of the house immediately contacted the rescuers, who are not at all unusual in such cases. It turns out that bears often come to residential buildings in winter.
Such cozy places are ideal for animals for wintering. The basement or any other shelter under the house reminds the bears of a cave. It is quiet, dry and dark enough that it is not surprising that the animals are hiding there.
Rescuers promised the owners of the house to come the next day and move the bear to a safe place. After a few hours, people noticed that the loud noises had subsided and, thinking that the animal had left, they locked the door to the basement.
But it turned out that the bear was still there! In the middle of the night the noise began again and it became clear that the poor fellow was accidentally locked up. The family was unhappy about the fact that they caused inconvenience to the animal.
But, fortunately, the rescuers arrived the next day to help the bear get out.
I had to make some noise using a special tool that makes loud sounds. This was done so that the animal was frightened and crawled out of hiding. But for some reason our bear did not react to this.
But after a few minutes, he himself got out of the basement, looked around and, deciding that this place was too crowded for wintering, went in search of another lair.
Before the eyes of the surprised and delighted people, the bear went away …
The most interesting thing is that the rescuers recognized the animal! It has been repeatedly seen next to Mexican restaurants – it loves to feast on leftover food, finding them in trash cans.
Many bears live in the vicinity of Tahoe, so the locals are not surprised by such visits. And rescuers are always ready to help people if someone builds a lair in a “wrong” place.
