Cute as all get out, but noisy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI love these bears, but I can\u2019t imagine the rest the humans don\u2019t get,\u201d Facebook user Cheri Weir added, calling them \u201csassy lil guys.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLove these baby bears but they sure are cry babies!\u201d Facebook user Ilene Kellogg said.<\/p>\n See black bear family living under Lake Tahoe cabin<\/p>\n The Bear League previously shared video of black bear Rose and her newborn triplets<\/a> \u2014 Echo, Oakley, and Storm \u2014 in their den under a Lake Tahoe cabin in February, The Fresno Bee previously reported.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll share more footage of them soon,\u201d the nonprofit said in its Monday Facebook post. \u201cBe prepared. They have really grown!\u201d<\/p>\n Like Rose, Ursula found an opening to the crawl space beneath a Lake Tahoe cabin and moved in, according to the Bear League.<\/p>\n \u201cThe good folks upstairs from Ursula are super kind and tolerant of the noise and possible damage and they admit to accidentally leaving the crawl space door open,\u201d the Bear League said in Monday\u2019s post. \u201cOnce a mama bear gives birth in a crawl space, she can\u2019t legally be evicted because her tiny newborn cubs would perish.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bear League said its CubCam team installed custom-made camera gear under the home to \u201cdetermine exactly what is going on.\u201d<\/p>\n Several Facebook users thanked the Tahoe homeowners, who named the cubs and their mother after stars and a well-known constellation, for letting the bears stay.<\/p>\n \u201cHi Ursula and Arcturus and Polaris, welcome to NorCal Life!\u201d Facebook user Jennifer Mckernon wrote in a comment. \u201cYou\u2019re gonna love it here.\u201d<\/p>\n When do bears den under Tahoe homes in winter?<\/p>\n According to wildlife experts, mother bears typically seek out shelter at the beginning of the year before giving birth to their cubs.<\/p>\n The Bear League said it gets staff get calls from Tahoe homeowners each year that mama bears have taken up winter residences under their homes, The Sacramento Bee previously reported.<\/p>\n Bear cubs are typically born<\/a> in January and February, The Bee reported in January 2025.<\/p>\n The bear families emerge<\/a> from those dens in the springtime \u201cready to take on the world,\u201d starting with tree-climbing lessons, The Bee reported in April.<\/p>\n The Bear League said it does not \u201cadvocate for homeowners to invite bears to den under their homes and cabins.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not natural and the bears can often cause a tremendous amount of damage while they are there for several months,\u201d the organization said. \u201cIt can also be dangerous for the bears due to electrical wires, gas pipes etc.\u201d<\/p>\n What to do if you see a bear<\/p>\n Bear attacks on people are rare<\/a> are rare in the United States, according to the National Park Service.<\/p>\n In most encounters between bears and people, the bears are typically trying to defend their food, cubs or space.<\/p>\n There are steps people can take to help prevent a bear encounter from becoming a bear attack.<\/p>\n Identify yourself: Talk calmly and slowly wave your arms. This can help the bear realize you\u2019re a human and nonthreatening.Stay calm: Bears usually don\u2019t want to attack; they want to be left alone. Talk slowly and with a low voice to the bear.Don\u2019t scream: Screaming could trigger an attack.Pick up small children: Don\u2019t let kids run away from the bear. It could think they\u2019re small prey.Hike in groups: A group is noisier and smellier, the National Park Service said. Bears like to keep their distance from groups of people.Make yourself look big: Move to higher ground and stand tall. Don\u2019t make any sudden movements.Don\u2019t drop your bag: A bag on your back can keep a bear from accessing food, and it can provide protection.Walk away slowly: Move sideways so you appear less threatening to the bear. This also lets you keep an eye out.Again, don\u2019t run: Bears will chase you, just like a dog would.Don\u2019t climb trees: Grizzlies and black bears can also climb.<\/p>\n Loading\u2026<\/p>\n Related Stories from Sacramento Bee<\/p>\n
