Bear Cubs Discover Front Doors, Ignore Them Entirely
A pair of young bears in San Bernardino County have apparently decided that trees are for climbing and homes are for entering, according to a report from ABC7 Los Angeles describing the cubs scaling foliage before letting themselves into a residence.
The 'wild encounter,' as it's been officially termed, appears to have involved the cubs making their way from tree branches directly into a home, a sequence of events this columnist can only describe as an ambitious itinerary for two animals with no opposable thumbs.
No further specifics on injuries, property damage, or the cubs' current relationship status with the homeowner were available at press time. This reporter assumes the full report contains the finer procedural details, which he encourages readers to seek out directly.
For local color, this columnist consulted Ray-Ray, a coyote with extensive personal experience letting himself into structures he was not invited to. His account of bear behavior in the area comes with the swagger of professional courtesy rather than professional envy.
San Bernardino County residents are reminded that bears, unlike coyotes, apparently do not believe in waiting for an invitation.
“Cubs climbing into a house ain't nothing, I've personally cleared out three garages this month. Bears just never learned to knock, that's really the whole problem with bears.” — Ray-Ray, local coyote
