Sean Lorenzini who is a resident of Pasadena California was amazed to see a bear near his swimming pool on Wednesday February 17 after the fires in Pasadena. Sean also found out that the same bear took refuge under his home during the Earon fire since the bear needed a place to stay during the fire that destroyed his former home in the forest. Officials with the California Department of Fish And Wildlife managed to remove the bear from Sean's home by setting a trap and remove the bear to a home in a wilderness away from Sean's home safely and humanely, Sean did find out that the bear did cause damage to his property when the bear was hiding underneath.

It looks cute but actually such kind of case can be also dangerous for people.

You are right since bears can harm people.

That is true since bears are very smart animals.

The bear must have thought he'd found a good place to visit.

The bear needed a place to get away from the fire in the forest.

That would be hard to bear, a bear in your backyard, and it was good that it was removed, and moved far away from his house.

Sean was scared that a bear was underneath his home.
