After an Altadena, California family returned home after being evacuated (due to the Eaton Fire), the utility company informed them that they couldn’t restore power to the home because a massive bear was in their crawlspace. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) reports that a team spent about 24 hours removing, relocating, and releasing the “massive, 525-pound adult male bear.”

After wildlife officials safely removed the bear from beneath the home, they brought it into Angeles National Forest, gave it a quick health checkup and a GPS collar, and then released it back into the wild. Meanwhile, CDFW says the utility company restored the homeowners’ power, and they boarded up their crawlspace to prevent future visitors.
