Imagine hearing thuds and catching a whiff of something wild—only to discover a 550-pound black bear has claimed your crawlspace for weeks. That’s what one Altadena homeowner faced, living with sleepless nights, cold sponge baths, and real fear of property damage. State officials tried for a month to move the bear, but it took a local wildlife group just 10 minutes to get results. Even after the eviction, the bear tried to return! This story really highlights what it means to live on the edge of wildlife territory. How would you handle a massive, furry neighbor under your home? #Pets #Altadena #BlackBear
