Jan. 13 (UPI) — A bear that was finally evicted from underneath a California house after several months may have found a new home underneath another house nearby.<\/p>\n

The bear, which had been visiting Ken Johnson<\/a>‘s Altadena home since at least April<\/a>, was finally evicted from the crawlspace underneath the house last week thanks to the efforts<\/a> of a Lake Tahoe-based nonprofit called BEAR League.\n<\/p>\n

An electrified mat was placed at the entrance to Johnson’s crawlspace to prevent the bear from returning, but the bruin may have now found a new home underneath another Altadena house.<\/p>\n

Residents of a house located about half a mile away<\/a> from Johnson’s home shared photos showing a bear that has now moved into their crawlspace.<\/p>\n

Officials do not yet know for sure whether the home’s new squatter is the same animal that was kicked out of Johnson’s crawlspace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 13 (UPI) — A bear that was finally evicted from underneath a California house after several months…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2113,7,9,8,7761,44431,3554,7760],"class_list":["post-132012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-animals","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-funny","tag-ken-johnson","tag-odd","tag-weird"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
