A bear as a room-mate

HOW would you like a wild bear as a sleepover roommate?

Ken Johnson, 63, of Southern California, just got a new roommate last week, according to the Associated Press — a black bear living in the crawl space under his home.

The bear was seen on video footage clambering out from beneath his house. Johnson had installed a camera near the space back in June when he saw what looked like damage caused by an animal. Nothing showed up on the camera until last week. And now he’s trying to figure out how to make it leave.

“It's a huge bear; Johnson said, describing it as tall as a table and bigger than the trash bins in front of his house. “It’s really unnerving because I don't know if he’s going to tear everything up under there, and I don't know how to get him out”
