Bear in the Basement

A homeowner in Altadena, California, had a bear living in the crawl space under their home for more than a month! They had contacted state wildlife officials, but attempts to evict the 550-pound bear were unsuccessful. The bear was causing some damage down there, so they did the prudent thing and shut off the gas line before Christmas. Then they called the Bear League, who does this a lot. They sent Scott and Dave, and they aren't afraid of anything. They couldn't lure Yogi out with a pic-a-nic basket, so Scott went down into the crawl space and got behind the bear to chase him out! Dave was ready outside to shoo the bear away, and we get to see it because he was wearing a camera on his hat. The bear barely squeezed through the opening. No bears nor humans were injured in the operation. (via Laughing Squid)
