In Summer time Warmth, Bear Noticed in Southern California Yard Jacuzzi

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — With the summer time warmth wave in full swing in Southern California, a yard pool is a tempting place to take a dip.

Police within the metropolis of Burbank responded to a report of a bear sighting in a residential neighborhood and located the animal sitting in a Jacuzzi behind one of many houses.

After a brief dip, the bear climbed over a wall and headed to a tree behind the house, police stated in a press release Friday.

Police launched a video of the animal within the neighborhood, which is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of Los Angeles and close to the Verdugo Mountains.

The Burbank police have issued warnings for residents to keep away from bears and to maintain all rubbish and meals locked as much as discourage bears from coming to their residences.
