Bear Indulges in Pool Day at California Home

A bear relaxed in a southwestern California resident’s pool on Monday, May 13, footage shows.

Footage filmed and posted to TikTok by Christina Shakarian shows the bear, identified as “162” by the tag on her ear, indulging in Shakarian’s pool in La Canada Flintridge, California, before jumping out and climbing over a fence. Shakarian said that the bear visits her house about once a week.

“This girl likes to lounge in our pool and furniture,” Shakarian told Storyful. “She looks a lot bigger than the last time we saw her.”

Shakarian told Storyful that it was the same bear who devoured her family’s birthday cake last May. Credit: Christina Shakarian via Storyful
