ALTADENA BEAR: 550-Pound Beast That Occupied House’s Basement for Over a Month Has Now Tried to Hibernate in Other Two Houses in the Region

A massive bear that ‘squatted’ in the basement of a Los Angeles County house for over a month before being ‘evicted’ has now broken under two other houses.

Yellow 2120, the perpetually ‘homeless’ bear, is on the move, again.

A California bear that’s become famous (and infamous) is at it again.

After stealing the headlines for occupying the crawl space of an Altadena man’s house for over a month, the bear, known as Yellow 2120, has shown its predilection for ‘cozy’ under-house spaces.

A picky bear is on the move again after trying to hibernate in three different Altadena homes. The 550-pound beast was evicted from under one home last week. The new move to keep the critter from crashing in more crawl spaces. This morning at 6 from ABC7. https://t.co/HrTjSa7KLN pic.twitter.com/CdyzkiF5NB

ABC30 reports:

“Last week, the BEAR League from Lake Tahoe traveled to the area to help the Altadena homeowner remove the bear using paintballs to scare him out of the crawl space. They then placed an electrified doormat to block the entrance.”

California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) unsuccessfully tried multiple times to get the bear out.

On Tuesday, the nonprofit shared that the bear went into the crawl space of another Altadena home after being evicted. He stayed there for one day before moving to a third home.

The BEAR League also assisted the third family, placing the electrical mats to spook the 550-pound black bear out of the area.”

The bear that’s been living underneath an Altadena home for almost two months has finally been removed.

The bear’s whereabouts remain unknown as of Thursday afternoon. https://t.co/7eFtM1Nz4M pic.twitter.com/VF47KGYOxk

Yellow 2120 left after three days, and has not (yet) returned, according to the nonprofit.

Here’s to wishing it finds a safe and comfortable space to hibernate that does not threaten people.
