This Bear Casually Strolled Into A Police Station Just To Take A Look Inside
A California police station got an unexpected visitor, and it was not a person. A bear wandered right through the front door, calmly checked out the lobby, and then headed back out like it had every right to be there.
The footage, captured near Lake Tahoe, shows the animal standing on its hind legs and opening the door on its own before taking a look around the station foyer. Officers were left with a very unusual morning on their hands, especially once the bear started inspecting the vending machines.
It is a strange little scene, and it only gets better from there.
The bear stood on his hind legs and opened the door like a pro!
Just as quickly as he came in, the large bear can be seen heading back out the door. By this stage, he had two officers chasing behind him!
The mischievous bear made his way into the station parking lot before finding his way back into the woods. Thankfully, neither the bear nor any of the officers were harmed during the incident.
This also echoes the driver who got a bear’s paw greeting through the car window.
He casually walked in as though he belonged there.
The officers saw the humorous side of the situation and have been enjoying telling the story of their cheeky visitor. However, in reality, the bear situation in California is quite a concern for locals.
According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the bear population in California has increased dramatically over the past two years and is now around 40,000. The public is urged to remain alert and act with caution if they see a bear.
You can check out the footage of the naughty bear below.
Bears have become comfortable around the human population, which unfortunately isn't great news. "In these cases, bears are no longer cautious and fearful around people," the officials said.
Sadly, this means the bears have become a significant threat to people. "This may result in property damage and even threaten human safety."
That is one way to make an entrance.
I don't know about you, but I reckon it would be pretty darn cool to get a visit from a bear, especially one as friendly as this one!
Believe it or not, there are many more stories about animals visiting places they perhaps shouldn't. For instance, there was the deer that dropped into a gift shop in Colorado and then returned later with the rest of her family.
It seems that sometimes our furry friends are just too curious for their own good. But we sure do love them, don't we?

GoPro footage is next, like the bear that took selfies after a hunter found a GoPro.
