Open Post: Hosted By This Bear Parkouring Down A Staircase In Lake Tahoe

Bears and Lake Tahoe go together like tequila and ice cream. Search “bears Lake Tahoe” on YouTube and a whole boatload of vids pop up of bears home-invading Lake Tahoe cabins to wish the occupants well and ask if they have any food to spare.

As MSN reports, one bear knew that invading Lake Tahoe domiciles had become passe so she upped her game by showing up in a Homewood, CA house with her two cubs, and letting one of the cubs show off his daring climbing and acrobatic skills while one Bear League member tried to scare him out of the house.

What’s the Bear League you ask? It’s a Lake Tahoe county charity organization that you call when a bear breaks into your place and they try to scare it off for you so you don’t have to risk life and limb. That’s nice. Dangerous but nice.

So, Momma and Cub #1 fled but Cub #2 turned it out much to the dismay of the Bear League’s Ann Bryant who had to yell things at the bear, like “there’s no door!” but uh, it’s a bear and do they know English?

Bryant had to chase the second cub out of the home, and was able to record a video of the encounter. The video shows the cub trying to get away from Bryant, climbing over a couch and a banister before jumping off and running down a set of stairs.

In a later Facebook post, the Bear League asked Lake Tahoe homeowners to electrify “vulnerable and accessible doors and windows.”

“It’s no fun having bears in houses,” the league said. “They do not tidy up after themselves.”

That’s asking for trouble because if Lake Tahoe people think that bears understand English, there are certainly going to be more than a few electrocution deaths if everyone’s hooking up their doors and windows to car batteries.
