There’s a bear in our pool: Couple’s shock as animal takes a dip in hot tub

A couple had a shock when they discovered a black bear taking a dip in their hot tub pool. Denise Diering yelled to her husband Tony to “Close the door!” as she noticed the beast splashing around in her garden. When she looked back, the bear slid into the pool, then climbed into the hot tub for a quick soak. The bear soaked itself for at 15 minutes before lumbering off through a hole it had knocked in the couple’s fence in North Vancouver, Canada. The bear, which appeared to have been tagged by wildlife officials, may also have had an injured paw.

In the neighborhood there are a lot of small kids and obviously it’s a safety concern for our neighbours. I just hope the bear can get the message and basically go somewhere else
