Bear spotted in Southern California removing jacuzzi cover, taking a dip
A bear was spotted in San Bernardino County sauntering onto the deck of a cabin where it proceeded to have a something of a “spa day,” video shows.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon at a cabin in Forest Falls.
Video shows the adolescent bear nonchalantly approaching the deck, giving everything a good once over and immediately directing its attention to the hot tub.
The jacuzzi cover wasn’t even a little bit of a challenge for the bear, who got low, grabbed it with its mouth and, like a pro, propped it up with its paw before standing up on its hind legs and tossing the cover open.
According to the cabin owner, the bear spent a little bit of time playing in the jacuzzi, with a particular focus on the floating chlorine device.
Before long, the bear moved to a small, inflated pool on the deck, testing the water with his paw and tasting one of the pool floats.
The homeowner tells KTLA that the cool down didn’t last long because the bear’s claws punctured the pool, sending water gushing through deck and onto the ground below, which was apparently too much ruckus for the animal because it took off running into the woods.
