Lounging bear is regular sight behind Los Angeles County home: Video
What appears to be a young bear has been spotted hanging out behind a Sierra Madre home recently.
Annie Slater says the bear can be seen catching some rays on the hill behind her home just north of Grand View Avenue “almost every day.”
In the video, the bear can be seen lying on his back with his belly exposed as he or she is grooming.
The video inspired KTLA’s Chris Schauble to break out in song. “You can almost literally hear the bear, ‘Just the bear necessities, the simple bear necessities,’” he sang.
Experts say with hibernation season over, bears will often wander into neighborhoods near the foothills.

Residents are urged to keep pet food inside and trash locked up to help keep bears away.
