Mark Chou and Mark Lanza had to deal with noises coming from underneath their home in Monrovia California on Wednesday October 2 while they were watching a movie. The two men set up a camera outside of their home when they learned that a bear was clawing a crawlspace trying to climb out of the small hole. The bear was able to get out of the crawlspace safely even though what happened next is not known what happened to the bear after it managed to get out of the home. The homeowners did make changes to their home in an attempt to prevent bears from entering their home. Link is upi.com/7201728070419 via @upi

That's a bit scary. Good thing the bear went away after getting out of the hole

I'm glad nothing can hide under our house!

I am in agreement with you since it is impossible for a bear to go underneath my residence.

I know it’s a dangerous animal, and I wouldn’t want it near my home, but it sure is a magnificent creature!

At least it all worked out OK, They should really cover that crawlspace somehow,

The homeowners will make an effort to make sure that their home will be more secure.

That was good the bear left. I hope no more will get in the crawlspace.

I just hope that there were no baby bears left under the house, and the bear was not using it as a cave, for its family too.

I also hope that no cubs were in the home either.
